Ratios and proportions
A ratio a : b compares two quantities by division. Simplify it by dividing both terms by the same number. A proportion states that two ratios are equal.
Solving a proportion
If a/b = c/d, then ad = bc. Directly proportional quantities increase or decrease by the same factor. In word problems, compare corresponding quantities in a consistent order.
