Practice telling whether or not the relationship between two quantities is proportional by reasoning about equivalent ratios.

What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. A proportion is an equality of two ratios. Determine whether the ratio is part to part or part to whole. Calculate the parts and the whole if needed. Plug values into the ratio. Simplify the ratio if needed. Integer-to-integer ratios are preferred. Equivalent ratios are ratios that have the same value.
