Write the correct answer in 8th grader words and in 2-4 sentences

Answer 1

A proportion is a special kind of equation that shows two ratios are equal. A ratio compares two quantities, like 3 apples for every 2 oranges. For example, if you have 6 apples and 4 oranges, that is a proportion because both sides can be reduced to the same ratio of 3 to 2.
