if we have the following ratio 17/30 and multiply both terms by 2, we obtain 34/60


(17)/(30)=(17\cdot2)/(30\cdot2)=(34)/(60)

on the other hand, if we have the ratio 3.4/6 and then we multiply the terms by 10, we also obtain 34/60


(3.4)/(6)=(3.4\cdot10)/(6\cdot10)=(34)/(60)

in that way, we can see that both ratios, 17/30 and 3.4/6 are proportional


(17)/(30)=(3.4)/(6)
