Students will be able to:
determine whether quantities are proportional by testing for equivalent ratios.
Quantities in a proportional relationship can be described by equivalent ratios.
Two quantities x and y have a proportional relationship if all the ratios y/x for related pairs of x and y are equivalent.
A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equivalent.
