A proportion is expressed as an equation that states two ratios are equal, typically written in the form ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ). This means that the relationship between the quantities ( a ) and ( b ) is the same as the relationship between ( c ) and ( d ). Proportions can also be represented using a colon, such as ( a:b = c:d ). To solve a proportion, you can use cross-multiplication to find an unknown value.

How is finding a unit rate similar to solving for a proportion?
Finding a unit rate is similar to solving for a proportion because both involve comparing two quantities to determine a relationship. In finding a unit rate, you simplify a ratio to express one quantity per unit of another, while solving a proportion involves setting two ratios equal to each other to find an unknown value. Both processes require manipulation of numbers and an understanding of ratios to arrive at a solution. Ultimately, they both aim to express one quantity in terms of another for clarity and comparison.
