What is the proportion in Mathematics?

The mathematical comparison of two numbers is called a proportion. According to proportion, two sets of provided numbers are said to be directly proportional to one another if they increase or decrease in the same ratio. Indicators of proportions include "::" and "=".

Given

Let time to be calculated be z

Rate of cost of call = time / cost = x = 15/0.90

Rate of cost of call = time / cost = y = z/1.32

Rate of cost is constant

x = y

According to laws of proportion

15/ 0.90 = z/ 1.32

z = 15/0.90 * 1.32 = 22

Therefore, Jared will be on the phone for 22 minutes.
