Question

Proportionally means

2 fractions (ratios) are NOT equal


2 fractions (ratios) are equal

Answer 1

2 fractions are equal

Explanation:

We say that two quantities are proportional if one is always the same multiple of the other.

Say a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to 3 eggs. That proportion, 2 cups flour : 3 eggs, will always stay the same, no matter how many serving we make. If we make 2 servings, we'd double to 4 cups and 6 eggs, but that wouldn't change the proportion. After all,

`(2)/(3)=(4)/(6)`
