A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal. In other words, a proportion compares two quantities and shows that they have a constant ratio.
For example, the equation 2/3 = 4/6 is a proportion because the ratio of 2 to 3 is equal to the ratio of 4 to 6. This can be simplified to 2/3 = 2/3, showing that the two ratios are equal.
