proportional change
Proportional is used in the context of discussing two quantities which share a constant relationship.
For example, the length and weight of a piece of wood are proportional.
A piece of wood measuring 10 m weighs 2 kg, therefore:
-
• A piece of wood measuring 20 m weighs 4 kg
• A piece of wood measuring 100 m weighs 20 kg, and so on.
