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.

In fifth grade, we learn about proportions and how they show relationships between numbers. When we have a proportion, we are saying that two ratios are equal to each other. For example, if we have 2/3 = 4/6, we are saying that the ratio of 2 to 3 is the same as the ratio of 4 to 6. This means that if we simplify both ratios, they will both be 2/3. Proportions help us understand how numbers relate to each other and can be really helpful in math problems.
