If Indiana were proportional to Michigan in terms of pets and population, there would be 3,692,726 pets in Indiana.

What is the proportion?

The proportion is the quantity of a variable that is contained in another variable.

Proportions are expressed as fractions, decimals, or percentages, like ratios and relative frequencies.

Data and Calculations:

                                                          Indiana               Michigan

Pets                                                4,700,000            5,500,000

The population of people           6.697 million        9.974 million

The proportion of pets to people     70.18%                  55.14%

The proportion of Michigan to Indiana's pet = 3,692,726 (6,697,000 x 55.14%)

Thus, if Indiana were proportional to Michigan in terms of pets and population, there would be 3,692,726 pets in Indiana.
