What is proportion?
Proportion refers to the numerical quantity or relationship of one variable to another, which are set equal to each other.
Proportions, like ratios, use fractional values because they show the quantity of one variable in another.
We state proportions in fractions, decimals, or percentages.
The proportion of 3/4 pound of beef to broccoli = 9/8 cups of broccoli
3/4 pound = 0.75 pound
9/8 cups = 1.125 cups
The number of cups of broccoli for a pound of beef = 1.5 cups (1.125/0.75)
1.5 cups = 1½ cups
Thus, given the proportional relationship presented, for a pound of beef, Tyler would need 1½ cups of broccoli.
