In contrast proportion, is denoted by Double Colon (::) or Equal to (=) sign, between the ratios under comparison.The ratio represents the quantitative relationship between two categories. As opposed to proportion, which shows the quantitative relationship of a category with the total.In a given problem, you can identify whether they are in ratio or proportion, with the help of keywords they use i.e. ‘to every’ in ratio and ‘out of’ in the case of proportion.
