Final answer:

To complete the proportion, the missing number that represents the number of stamps on a certain number of sheets is 1.


Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the proportion, we need to find the missing number that represents the number of stamps on a certain number of sheets. We can set up the proportion as follows:

40 stamps / 4 sheets = 10 stamps / x sheets

To find the missing number, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

40 * x = 4 * 10

x = 4 * 10 / 40

x = 1

Therefore, the missing number is 1. There are 10 stamps on 1 sheet.
