A rate often involves time: e. g., 33 feet per second; also, we are finding the ratio of one type of measurement with respect to another: distance and time.
A proportion is often the ratio of different measures of the same thing:
e. g. 5 apples
------------
7 apples
Tristan can make 5 fruit baskets with no fruit left over. 9 x 5 = 45 and 4 x 5 = 20
9 apples and 4 pears will go in each fruit basket.
5 * 12 = 60 (for the whole area)
3 * 2 = 6 (for the missing space)
6 + 2 = 8
12 - 8 = 4
4 * 3 = 12
12 / 2 = 6
6 + 6 = 12
60 - 12 = 48
Answer: 48
Sorry if this isn’t right :(
