PROPORTIONS(:

Here's an example of a proportion:

1 teaspoon X teaspoons
________ _________
10 pounds 7 pounds

7 pounds/10 pounds= .7 teaspoons

how to do it ? : well you divide 10 and 7 and you get 0.7 so you would do the same for the top but opposite. so you would multiply 1 and 0.7 and get 0.7 . so as you see x=0.7.
its very easy once you know how to do them.

you can have any proportion with any numbers and do this. you just have to divide the two numbers that are the same and then whatever your answer is you multiply it with the number that has X.
