Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal.

Example:

 

So 1-out-of-3 is equal to 2-out-of-6

 

The ratios are the same, so they are in proportion.

 

When things are "in proportion" then their relative sizes are the same.

Here you can see that the ratios of head length to body length are the same in both drawings.

So they are proportional.

Making the head too long or short would look bad!
