What is the means of a proportion?
1 : harmonious relation of parts to each other or to the whole : balance, symmetry. 2a : proper or equal share each did her proportion of the work. b : quota, percentage. 3 : the relation of one part to another or to the whole with respect to magnitude, quantity, or degree : ratio.
A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."
