Proportion

Proportion in general knowledge refers to the relationship or balance between different quantities or elements. It describes how one part compares to another part or the whole, often expressed as a ratio. For instance, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to 1 cup of sugar, the proportion helps us understand the right balance of ingredients. Proportions are vital in various fields, such as mathematics, science, and everyday situations, as they help us make sense of relationships and scale, ensuring we apply the correct amounts or numbers in practical scenarios.
