A proportion looks like this:

It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.
They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.
For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"
You can build the proportion

And then solve it for x:

Answer:
Do u have answer choices?
Answer:
31, 32, 33
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x + 1 +x + 2 = 96
3x + 3 = 96
-3 -3
3x = 93
/3 /3
x = 31
31 is the first number, so since they’re consecutive, the second two numbers are 32 and 33.
