To determine if the given fractions are proportions, we need to check if the fractions on each side of the equations are equal.

1. **For the first equation: \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \)**

Let's simplify both fractions:

- \( \frac{2.5}{10} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{12}{48} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)

Since both fractions are equal, this is a proportion.

2. **For the second equation: \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \)**

Simplifying both fractions:

- \( \frac{2.5}{2} = 1.25 \)
- \( \frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)

Since these are not equal, this is not a proportion.

**Conclusion:**

- The first equation \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \) is a proportion.
- The second equation \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \) is not a proportion.

Therefore, the correct response would be:
**"2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion, while "2.5/2 = 12/24" is not a proportion.**

Based on the evaluations of the two equations:

- The first equation \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \) is a proportion.
- The second equation \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \) is not a proportion.

If the response options are as you have described previously, the correct choice would be:

**"2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion, while "2.5/2 = 12/24" is not a proportion. However, you did not provide exact letter options (a, b, c, d).**

Please select the option that states that "1st is a proportion and 2nd is not." If you can share the exact letter responses, I can point out the correct one for you.

Based on the options you provided earlier, here is the analysis:

1. **Option 1**: "2.5/10 = 12/48" (This is a proportion.)
2. **Option 2**: "Neither is a proportion." (This is incorrect.)
3. **Option 3**: "Both are proportions." (This is incorrect.)
4. **Option 4**: "2.5/2 = 12/24" (This is not a proportion.)

The first option is the only one that is true.

Thus, the correct answer is the **first option**: **"2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion.**
