Here, a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.

• Ratio has no units.

• It can be expressed as a fraction. 2 : 3 can be expressed as 2/3.

• The two quantities that are compared should be of the same kind. 3 liters and 2 grams cannot be compared.

• The two quantities must have the same units. The ratio between 10 g and 15 g is 10 : 15.
