This document discusses ratios and proportions. It defines a ratio as a comparison of values and shows examples of ratios written in different formats like 3:1 or 3 to 1. Ratios can be scaled up or down by multiplying both values by the same number. A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal to each other. To determine if ratios form a proportion, you cross multiply the terms - if you get the same number, the ratios are proportional; if the numbers are different, they are not proportional. Examples are provided to illustrate determining proportionality through cross multiplying.
