Now, we're going to consider an example of proportional relationship in our everyday life: When we put gas in our car, there is a relationship between the number of gallons of fuel that we put in the tank and the amount of money we will have to pay. In other words, the more gas we put in, the more money we'll pay.

A proportional relationship is where one ratio is the same as another ratio. For example, the ratio 1:2 is the same as 2:4. If you go ahead and divide both of these ratios, you'll get the same relationship 1:2.

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other.

Representing Proportional Relationships with Equations For example, if each square foot of carpet costs $1.50, then the cost of the carpet is proportional to the number of square feet.

The more fuel you get filled in your vehicle, the more money you will be required to pay for it. Similarly, if you get less fuel filled, you will have to pay less money. The fuel price will decide the proportion between the quantity of fuel and the amount of money.

The term proportionality describes any relationship that is always in the same ratio. The number of apples in a crop, for example, is proportional to the number of trees in the orchard, the ratio of proportionality being the average number of apples per tree.
