Proportion Formula:
Original = New : Whole = Part
Where:
- Original is the original value.
- New is the new value.
- Whole is the entire quantity or measurement.
- Part is the portion of the whole.
Example:
If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 12 cookies, and you want to make 36 cookies, the proportion would be:
2 cups = 36 cookies : 12 cookies
Cross-multiply to solve for the unknown value (New):
```
2 cups - 36 cookies = New - 12 cookies
72 cup-cookies = 12 New cookies
New = 6 cups
```
Therefore, you would need 6 cups of flour to make 36 cookies.
