Answer:

A proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Example : [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex]

​

We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.

Example : [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

Example : 1 : 3 or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
