A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. In other words, it is an equation that shows that two fractions are equivalent.
For example, if we have the proportion 2/3 = 4/6, this means that the ratio of 2 to 3 is equal to the ratio of 4 to 6. This can also be written as 2:3 = 4:6. The key point is that when you cross multiply (2*6=3*4), you get the same value which shows that the proportions are correct.
