A proportion is an equation stating two ratios are equal: a/b = c/d. Cross-multiplication (a×d = b×c) lets you solve for any missing value. Proportions are used in scaling, cooking, maps, and unit conversion.

- 1If a/b = c/d, then a×d = b×c (cross multiplication)
- 2Solve for d: d = (b×c)/a
- 3Verify: substitute back and check both sides are equal
- 4Scale factor = new value ÷ original value

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?
A ratio compares two quantities (3:4). A proportion states two ratios are equal (3:4 = 6:8). Proportions let you solve for missing values.
How do I check if proportions are equal?
Cross-multiply: a×d should equal b×c. If they're equal, the proportion is correct.
Can I use proportions for unit conversion?
Yes. Proportions are ideal for converting units. Set up the known ratio on one side and the unknown on the other, then solve.
