The proportion of use of the properties of the equation : the left side must be equal to the right . We check to see if there is so
[tex] \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{9} [/tex] shorten fractions
[tex] \frac{1}{4} \neq \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
The equation is contradictory, it can not be used to calculate the ratio
The answer is no
