An equation that sets two ratios equal to each other?

Answer 1

An equation that sets two ratios equal to each other is called a proportion. In a proportion, the cross products of the ratios are equal. For example, in the proportion ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ), the cross products are ad and bc, and they are equal. Solving proportions involves finding the missing value in one of the ratios by setting up and solving a simple equation.

Answer 2

Ah, honey, that's just a proportion. It's like saying two ratios are like two peas in a pod, equal and balanced. So, when you set those bad boys equal to each other, you're just solving for the missing piece of the puzzle. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
