A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. In a proportion, the numerator of one ratio is equal to the numerator of the other ratio and the denominator of one ratio is equal to the denominator of the other ratio.
For example, consider the following proportion:
3/5 = 6/10
In this proportion, the ratio 3/5 is equal to the ratio 6/10, as both have the same value of 0.6.
