Answer:

  No

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.

  5 : 3 = 40 : 24

  13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24

_____

Examples of proportions

  5/3 = 40/24 . . . is a proportion

  13/8 = 39/24 . . . is a proportion
