Ratio and Proportion
A ratio is a relationship between two numbers that defines the quantity of the first in comparison to the second. For example, for most mammals, the ratio of legs to noses is 4:14:1, but for humans, the ratio of legs to noses is 2:12:1.
Ratios can be written in the fractional form, so comparing three boys with five girls could be written 3:53:5 or \frac{3}{5}53.
When quantities are proportional, their ratios are equal. For example, the ratios \frac{2}{5}52 and \frac{8}{20}208 are proportional. Note that \frac{4}{10}104 and \frac{12}{30}3012 are equivalent fractions because they both simplify to \frac{2}{5}.52.
