Make these 2 ratios equivalent

​What's missing?

​Proportion

​an equation that shows two ratios that are equivalent

​

​It's just like the ratio table but with an equal sign in between.

​Steps to solving a proportion

​1. Draw arrows showing which direction you will be moving. An arrow needs to be pointing to the variable.

​Arrows should be on BOTH sides of the proportion going in the same direction! (Which way is easiest to go?)

​Step 2

​Find the factor needed to multiply or divide to move in the direction you chose.

​You may need to simplify the ratio to find a good factor to use.

​Are the arrows pointing to the larger number (MULTIPLY) or the smaller number (DIVIDE)?

​Step 3

Mulitiply the other side by the factor found.
