What in mathematics is a proportion?
A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value. For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls)
0.25 inches 8.5 inches
---------------- = --------------
5 ft x ft
Using cross products
0.25x = 8.5 * 5
Divide each side by 0.25
0.25x/0.25 = 8.5 * 5/0.25
x = 13
x = 13 ft
