Are the two ratios that make up a proportion
always, sometimes, or never equivalent

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, when we say that two ratios form a proportion, we mean that the two ratios are equal.

Ex: Ratios and Proportions - Proportions - In Depth. A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."

A proportion is two ratios which have been set equal to each other; a proportion is an equation that can be solved. When I say that a proportion is two ratios that are equal to each other, I mean this in the sense of two fractions being equal to each other. For instance, 105 equals 21 .
