Proportion and KHDmDCM

Today we did Pro. and that is when you put a number over a fraction bar and another number under it. This is suppose to help you understand a problem easier. Converting a measurement to another. Make the #'s bigger.
EX: 10cm/3m = 10cm/300cm = K l H l D l m l D l C l M
                                                     l     l     l 3  l  0 l 0 l
A Pro. is kind of a fraction and kind of not. Partly a fraction and partly not a fraction.
King                  Drinking
Henry   merely   Chocolate
Died                  Milk
Step1: Variable     Step2: Isolate     Step3: Diagnally Multiply
In problems for proportions you get to increase, decrease, use operations, you can use dilation and reduction.
