D.

If you multiply both numbers in the given proportion by 3, you get answer D:

7 x 3 = 21

12 x 3 = 36.

Because you can multiply both of the numbers in the given ratio by the same number (3) to get the ratio in answer D, they are a proportion.

7 / 12 = 0.583333333

Divide them all to see which one equals 0.583333333.

A.

8 / 13 = 0.615384615

B.

10 / 15 = 0.666666667
