Answer:

no

Explanation:

The ratio of width to height for the different photos are ...

student: 1 : 3/2 = (2/2):(3/2) = 2 : 3

small: 2 : 5/2 = (4/2):(5/2) = 4 : 5

medium: 4 : 5 . . . (same as small)

large: 8 : 10 = 4 : 5 . . . (same as small and medium)

The small, medium, and large photos all have proportional dimensions, but those are not proportional to the dimensions of the student photo.
