What a proportion is

A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. They appear everywhere from scaling recipes to converting units and solving percent problems.

Solving with cross-multiplication

Cross-multiplication turns a/b = c/d into a × d = b × c, a simple linear equation. This single move solves for any unknown and is the engine behind every proportion problem.
