Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio: A ratio is a comparison of two or more numbers that indicates their sizes in relation to each other. The ratio a is to b is the fraction \frac{a}{b}, written as a:b.

Eg: The ratio 3 is to 5 is the fraction \frac{3}{5\\}, written as 3:5.

Proportion: Four numbers (a, b, c, d) are said to be in proportion if the product of a & d and b &c are equal. We can also say that 4 numbers(a, b, c,d) are in proportion if the product of the extremes(a and d) and product of the means(b and c) are equal.

Eg: 22:33::42:63 are in proportion because the product of the extremes (22*63=1386) and the product of the means(33*42=1386) are equal.

Hope this helps!!
