For example, if the area of a rectangle is doubled, then the length of the rectangle is halved.

In mathematical terms, this is expressed as y is directly proportional to x. This means that as x increases, y also increases and as x decreases, y also decreases.<\/p>\n<p>To determine if two quantities are proportional, you can use a graph. On a graph, you would plot the points for each quantity and then connect the points with a line. If the line is a straight line, then the quantities are proportional. Alternatively, you can use a table to compare the values of each quantity. If the values are always the same or very close together, then the quantities are proportional.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"on_Proportional_Examples\"><\/span>on Proportional Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the following table, the first column is the quantity of voters, the second column is the proportion of the vote that each candidate receives, and the third column is the total number of votes.<\/p>\n<p>Candidate Votes Proportion A 30 25% B 25 20% C 30 25% D 10 8%<\/p>\n<p>A receives 30 votes, which is 25% of the total number of votes (120).<\/p>\n<p>B receives 25 votes, which is 20% of the total number of votes (120).<\/p>\n<p>C receives 30 votes, which is 25% of the total number of votes (120).<\/p>\n<p>D receives 10 votes, which is 8% of the total number of votes (120).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Define Proportional Representation In a proportional representation system, the number of seats a party wins in a legislature is proportional [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Proportionality - Explanation Examples","_yoast_wpseo_title":"Proportionality - Explanation, Examples, Identification and Examples","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Learn about proportionality topic of Maths in details explained by subject experts on infinitylearn.com.
