To determine which of the options is a proportion, we need to understand what a proportion is. A proportion is an equation that states two ratios are equal.

In both options, we have equations rather than ratios.

  1. Option 1: 78 = 2022
  2. Option 2: 78 = 2124

Neither of these options represent a proportion because they do not form an equivalent ratio. They are simple equations stating that 78 equals a different number, which is not the standard form to express a proportion.

However, if you meant to set them up as ratios rather than direct equations (such as comparing fractions), please clarify or provide additional context. Based on the current format, neither option is a proportion.
