Which proportion could be used to determine if the figures represent a dilation?

A rectangle with a length of 5 and width of 2. A rectangle with a length of 8 and width of 3.
Two-thirds = StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction
Two-thirds = StartFraction 8 Over 5 EndFraction
StartFraction 2 Over 8 EndFraction = Five-thirds
StartFraction 2 Over 8 EndFraction = three-fifths

You would compare corresponding side ratios: 5/8 = 2/3 (equivalently 8/5 = 3/2).

Checking: 5/8 = 0.625 while 2/3 ≈ 0.6667 (5·3 = 15 ≠ 8·2 = 16), so the ratios are not equal — the figures are not dilations.
