What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, six quarters are equivalent to two pennies. Dividing into two groups, there would be a penny in each group, and we want to find the amount of quarters.

The rule of three is:

2 pennies - 6 quarters

1 penny - x quarters

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]2x = 6[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

The equivalent ratio to six-seconds would be of 3 to 1.
