Option 1=
Option 2
15
0
5
6


15
18
20
18
(1 point)
Option
is a proportion.

Answer 1

To determine if either option is a proportion, we need to evaluate if the ratios of the pairs of numbers are equal. A proportion means that the ratios are equal, which can be expressed as:

\(\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\).

### Option 1:
The numbers given appear to be 15, 0, 5, and 6.
We need to compare these to find a ratio:

- Assuming the pairs are (15, 0) and (5, 6), we have:

\(\frac{15}{0}\) is undefined (division by zero).

So, this cannot be considered a proportion.

### Option 2:
The numbers are 15, 18, 20, and 18.
Let's pair these in the same way:

- Assuming the pairs are (15, 18) and (20, 18):

\(\frac{15}{18} \) and \(\frac{20}{18}\).

Calculating these ratios:
\(\frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6}\),

\(\frac{20}{18} = \frac{10}{9}\).

Since \(\frac{5}{6} \neq \frac{10}{9}\), this also does not form a proportion.

### Conclusion:
**Neither Option 1 nor Option 2 is a proportion.**
