What Is Proportion?
**Proportion** is a mathematical concept that establishes the equality between two ratios. In other words, it is the relationship between four numbers, where the ratio between the first two is equal to the ratio between the last two. Proportion is the basis of the famous 'rule of three', widely used in various areas, from cooking (to adjust recipes) to engineering (to dimension projects).
