Look at the multiplier to go from one numerator to the other numerator.
\n" ); document.write( "It must equal the multiplier to go from one denominator to the other.
\n" ); document.write( "Else, they are not in proportion.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%280.6%29%2F%280.3%29=%283%2F1.8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The multiplier for the numerator is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F0.6=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The multiplier for the denominator is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.8%2F0.3=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "They're not the same.
\n" ); document.write( "They are not proportional.
