RATIO AND PROPORTION

Ratio

Ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind.

It shows the number of times one quantity contains another quantity.

The ratio of two quantities is equivalent to the fraction that one quantity is of the other.

The ratio of "a" to "b" is written as a: b, read as "a is to b\ and is equal to a/b.

In the ratio a: b, 'a' and 'b" are called the terms of the ratio.

‘a’ is called the first term (antecedent) and ^Lb" is called the second term (consequent).
