A proportion is a mathematical statement that indicates that two ratios are equal. It is a relationship between two sets of numbers or values. Proportions can be used to compare quantities or solve for unknown values. For example, if we have a proportion of water to lemon juice in a lemonade recipe as 2:1, it means that for every 2 parts of water, there should be 1 part of lemon juice. This proportion ensures the right balance of ingredients in the drink.
