give five essential features of ratio?

Hello mate

° ° 【【 What Are Ratios? 】 】

Ratios are used to compare values. They tell us how much of one thing there is compared to another. For example, ratios can be used to compare the number of girl puppies to boy puppies that were born. If we have a total of six puppies, where two are girls and four are boys, we can write that in ratio form as 2:4 (girls:boys). We can also write it in factor form as 2/4. To compare the number of boy puppies to girl puppies, we can simply rewrite our ratio with the number of boys first as 4:2 (boys:girls) or 4/2.

° ° 【 【 What Are Proportions? 】 】 ° °

Proportions are related to ratios in that they tell you when two ratios are equal to each other. Let's see how proportions work for our puppies. Our first ratio of girls to boys is 2:4 for our litter of six. If our next litter had a ratio of 4:8 of girls to boys, it would be proportional to our first litter; because if we divide each of our ratios, we will find that they are equal: 2 / 4 = 0.5 and 4 / 8 = 0.5, as well. My ratios are proportional if they divide into the same number.

Answer 2

Ratio is one of the most important mathematical substances which we use vastly in the field of mathematics.

The various features of a mathematical ratio is ,

1) The ratio is always expressed in the form of x:y and so on.

2) There will be always minimum two (or more) components in a ratio. (eg. x:y , x:y:z etc.)

3) Ratio always express the mathematical value comparison of it's components.

4) The components of a ratio are always homogeneous,in terms of their units. (Eg. X kg : Y kg or X sec : Y sec etc.)

5) A mathematical ratio of two components can be also expressed as the mathematical division of those two components, respectively. (eg. X:Y can be expressed as X/Y)
