  All proportions have this form:

  $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}}$, Where $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}}$ is equal to $\sf{\dfrac{c}{d}}$.

 If $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}\neq\dfrac{c}{d}}$, it's not a proportion.

_________________________

  Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a proportion, they look like :

$\sf{\dfrac{40}{10}=\dfrac{32}{8}}$

Hope this made sense to you :)
