Proportions

A proportion is an equal fraction.

Example1:2/3=6/9
Example2:5/9=10/18

Reason For Example1:
2*3=6, 3*3=9 so 2*3/3*3=6/9 which means 2/3=6/9.

Reason For Example2:
5*2=10, 9*2=18 so 5*2/9*2=10/18 which means 5/9=10/18.

Conclusion:
The numerator must be multiplied by the same number as the denominator is multiplied by to get a proportion or equal fraction.
