proportionate
In correct ratio
Proportionate means properly scaled or balanced in relation to something else.
A response is proportionate when it matches the situation that prompted it: The punishment should be proportionate to the crime.
Proportionate shares divide according to each party's stake.
The word functions as both adjective and verb—to proportionate is to make things properly balanced, though proportional is more common as the adjective.
