Are the ratios 84/96 and 77/88 proportional

To determine whether two ratios are proportional, we need to check if their cross products are equal.

The cross product of the ratio 84/96 is 84 * 96 = 8064.
The cross product of the ratio 77/88 is 77 * 88 = 6776.

Since the cross products are not equal (8064 ≠ 6776), the ratios 84/96 and 77/88 are not proportional.
