Describe what makes a proportion. Give an example of a proportion.(2 points)
A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. The ratios can be written as fractions, decimals, or percentages. For example, if 3 out of 5 students in a class are girls, and 6 out of 10 students are girls, then this can be written as a proportion: 3/5 = 6/10.

A proportion is a statement that two ratios or fractions are equal. It can be written in the form of a/b = c/d, where a, b, c, and d are numbers. In a proportion, the product of the means (b and c) is equal to the product of the extremes (a and d).
For example, consider the following proportion:
2/3 = 4/6
In this proportion, the product of the means (3 and 4) is equal to the product of the extremes (2 and 6), which satisfies the definition of a proportion.
A proportion is a mathematical relationship between two ratios that are equal. It consists of two fractions or ratios that are set equal to each other. Specifically, a proportion states that the ratio of the corresponding terms in two equal ratios is constant. In other words, if the numerator and denominator of one ratio are multiplied or divided by the same number, then the resulting ratios will still be equal.
For example, let's consider the following proportion: 3/5 = 6/10. In this case, we can see that the ratio of 3 to 5 is equal to the ratio of 6 to 10. If we simplify both ratios, we get 3/5 and 3/5, which are equal. This shows that the proportion is true. We can also verify this by cross-multiplying: 3 * 10 = 5 * 6, which gives us 30 = 30, again showing that the proportion is satisfied.
To determine if a given set of fractions or ratios forms a proportion, you can compare the corresponding terms in the ratios. If they are equal, then the ratios are proportional. Additionally, you can cross-multiply and check if the products of the extremes (the outer terms) are equal to the products of the means (the inner terms). If these products are equal, then the ratios form a proportion.
