To determine whether either option is a proportion, we first need to understand what a proportion is. A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal.
In this case, neither Option 1 (78 = 2022) nor Option 2 (78 = 2124) represents a proportion because both of them are asserting that 78 is equal to a number that is not equal to 78. Both statements are false as presented.
If you meant to compare two ratios in the form of fractions (for example, a/b = c/d), we would need that format to analyze proportions.
If you meant for these to represent fractions or ratios, please provide more context, and I can assist you better! As it is, neither option is a proportion.
