What are proportions?
Proportion is a mathematical equation that defines that the two given ratios are equivalent to each other. The symbols used to represent proportion are “::” and “=” respectively.
For instance, two ratios in proportion if they are equal:
4/8 = 7/14.
How to solve a proportion?
There are different ways to solve the proportion. Let us solve a random proportion with some examples.
Example No.1:
In a school cafeteria, the ratio of sandwiches to salads is 4/7. If there are a total of 28 salads, how many sandwiches are there?
Solution:
Step 1: Construct a proportion using the given values and x.
4/7 = x/28
Step 2: Apply cross multiplication to the above equation.
7x = 4 × 28
x = (4 × 28)/7
x = 112/7
x = 16.
So, there will be 16 sandwiches if there are a total of 28 salads.

Example No.2:
If the ratio of apples to oranges in a fruit basket is 4:7, and there are a total of 84 oranges, how many apples are there?
Solution:
Step 1: Construct a proportion using the given values and x.
4/7 = x/84
Step 2: Apply cross multiplication to the above equation.
7x = 4 × 84
x = (4 × 84) / 7
x = 336 / 7
x = 48.
So, there will be 48 apples when there are 84 oranges in the fruit basket.
