1 answer

A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. In other words, a proportion is a relationship between two sets of numbers where the ratio of corresponding values is constant.

For example, the proportion 2/3 = 4/6 states that the ratio of 2 to 3 is equal to the ratio of 4 to 6. This proportion is true because when simplified, both ratios reduce to 2/3.
