Sure! Proportions are a way of comparing two ratios. To solve a proportion, you need to set up two equivalent ratios and then solve for the missing value.
For example, if you have the proportion 3/4 = x/8, you can set up two equivalent ratios by multiplying both sides by 8:
3/4 = x/8
3*8/4*8 = x/8*8
24/32 = x/8*8
24/32 = x
Therefore, x = 24.
To practice, try solving the following proportion:
2/3 = x/9
Answer: 2/3 = x/9
2*9/3*9 = x/9*9
18/27 = x/9*9
18/27 = x
Therefore, x = 18.
can yall teach me how to do proportions because I'm confused, I really need help. I really cannot fail because I have goals of getting straight a's anything will be appreciated.

oh my gosh, thank you that was so fast!
That's because a bot answered this question, but don't trust its answers
e.g
it just made up a proportion
2/3 = x/9 , which I would do this way:
3x = 18
x = 6
did you notice that the bot messed up its own questions, both of them ????

no not really since im super confused but the bot helped me, but thanks anyways you helped aswell
The bot gave you a canned answer that you could have obtained from
Google, Apple's Siri, or Amazon's Alexa, or a good oldfashioned textbook.
The bot did not help you by giving you two wrong results
