Ratios and Proportions A proportion is 2 equal ratios. Example: Here we have two ratios. We have 4 compared to 12 and 1 compared to 3. There two ratios form a proportion. Simplified, they equal the same thing. You can simplify fourtwelfths and it equals one-third.

Ratios and Proportions To determine if two ratios form a proportion: 1. Reduce or multiply one (or both) of the ratios in order to get common denominators 2. Once you have common denominators, see if the numerators are the same. If both ratios match perfectly, they are proportions!
