Answer: Not proportional
=======================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume the two fractions are equal.
If so, then,
[tex]\frac{0.2}{2.6} = \frac{0.3}{3.6}\\\\0.2*3.6 = 2.6*0.3\\\\0.72 = 0.78[/tex]
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false.
Therefore, the two ratios are not proportional.
-------------
Another approach:
Calculate the decimal value of each fraction
[tex]\frac{0.2}{2.6} \approx 0.07692\\\\\frac{0.3}{3.6} \approx 0.08333\\\\[/tex]
The two ratios result in different decimal values, so the two ratios are not equal, aka not proportional.
