- If two ratios are equal, they form a proportion. Proportions can be used in geometry when working with similar figures.

If the ratios form a proportion, then the simplified forms of the ratios will equal.

Simplest Form

Determine if the ratios form a proportion by writing each ratio in simplest form.

• 4/8, 10/20• 15/20, 10/12• 24/30, 9/15

Examples

If the ratios form a proportion, then the numerator and denominator will share a multiplier.

Common Multiplier

Determine if the ratios form a proportion by finding a common multiplier

• 8/15, 32/40• 60/140, 3/7• 10/24, 30/70

A proportion can be made relating the height and the width of the smaller figure to the larger figure:

The ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 1:2 (said “one to two”). This can also be written as a fraction of ½.
