Answer:

False. The products from cross multiplication are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if a pair of ratios form a proportion, cross multiply. If the products are equal, they are a proportion.

Write like this to see top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) clearly.

[tex]\frac{4}{5} =\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Multiply each numerator with the other side's denominator:

4 X 6 = 24

5 X 5 = 25

Are they equal? No. 24 ≠ 25

Therefore it's not a proportion.
