Proportions equate two ratios, like a/b = c/d. Cross-multiplication states ad = bc. For example, if 2/5 = x/15, then 2 × 15 = 5 × x, meaning 30 = 5x, so x = 6. Proportions answer real-world questions: “If 2 liters costs ₹100, what does 5 liters cost?” or “If 3 out of 10 students prefer a subject, how many out of 50 might prefer it?” The technique is vital for scaling recipes, resizing images, or solving geometry similarity. Consistent practice ensures you can set up and solve ratio-based statements in a single, efficient step.
