Proportion- An equation which sates that two ratios are equal.

Example :

2) As a play group worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25ml to 100ml, how much should I increase the orange juice to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50ml to start with.

Here is a video of a proportion statement

1) Does this seem fair? No because he only took 100 dollars . He could of only stayed at jail for 1 month not 15 years .

2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice?

Its not fair for Roy Brown Because he only took a hundred dollars then he felt guilty and the next day he surrenders to the police . Alexandria should of been jailed for 15 years instead of Roy Brown.

If i was the judge i would only put Roy Brown in prison for only a month.
