What is a true proportion?
A true proportion is when two ratios are equal to one another. To prove this, you need to find the cross products of the ratios and see if they are equal. An example of a true proportion are the ratios 1/2 and 5/10, if you take the cross product the result is 2 x 5 = 1 x 10, which are equal.
