Definition--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Concepts--Proportion | ProportionTopicRatios, Proportions, and Percents DefinitionA proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal. DescriptionUnderstanding proportions is essential in mathematics, as it is used to solve problems involving ratios and fractions. Proportions are commonly seen in real-world applications such as cooking, map measurements, and scale models. To illustrate, if there are 2 apples for every 3 oranges, the proportion can be expressed as 2:3. Solving proportions involves finding and solving an equivalent ratio. |
