1. Compute the cross products:

$$
   45 \times 85 = 3825 \quad \text{and} \quad 75 \times 51 = 3825
   $$

2. Since the cross products are equal ($$3825 = 3825$$), the equality

$$
   \frac{45}{75}=\frac{51}{85}
   $$

is a proportion.

3. The correct answer is:

**A. Yes, because the numerator of the first fraction multiplied by the denominator of the second fraction equals the denominator of the first fraction multiplied by the numerator of the second fraction. They both are equal to $$3825$$.**
The equality $$ \frac{45}{75} = \frac{51}{85} $$ is a proportion because $$ 45 \times 85 = 75 \times 51 = 3825 $$.
