This video tutorial covers the concept of proportions, explaining how to determine if two pairs of numbers form a proportion and how to solve proportions. It introduces the idea of cross products, which are used to verify if two ratios are equal. The video provides examples to illustrate the process of checking proportions and solving for missing values in a proportion. It also includes more complex examples to deepen understanding.
