Question

What is a proportion

Answer 1

DescriptionIn mathematics, two varying quantities are said to be in a relation of proportionality, if they are multiplicatively connected to a constant; that is, when either their ratio or their product yields a constant. The value of this constant is called the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant.

Answer 2

a part, share, or number considered in comparative relation to a whole.

Example:A rope's length and weight are in proportion. When 20m of rope weighs 1kg, then: 40m of that rope weighs 2kg. 200m of that rope weighs 10kg.
