A proportion is an equation that shows two ratios are equal. Ratios compare two quantities, and a proportion tells us that one ratio is the same as another.
For example, if you have 2 apples for every 3 oranges, and you have 4 apples for every 6 oranges, you can say that the two ratios (2:3 and 4:6) are a proportion because they are equal!
