Give a small paragraph about a Ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers of the same kind, expressed as "a to b" or a:b, sometimes expressed arithmetically as a dimensionless quotient of the two that explicitly indicates how many times the first number contains the second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Five sentences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May I ask, is the lesson you're in involving proportions aswell?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummm kinda why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can help you, just give me a minute or two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ratio is a comparison of two like quantities. These quantities must be expressed in the same unit. For example, the ratio, say, of line segment AB whose measure is 20 cm to line segment CD with measure 40 cm is 20 cm is to 40 cm. We can also write this in any of the following ways: as a fraction, 20 cm/40 cm or 1/2; as a division, 20 cm ÷ 40 cm; as a decimal 0.5; as a percentage 50% or 20 cm:40cm. When two ratios are equal then we have a proportion. For instance when two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are proportional, i.e., the ratio of any side of one triangle to the corresponding side of the other triangle is equal to the ratio of another side of the first triangle to the corresponding side of the second triangle. A proportion has four terms: the first term, the second term, the third term and the fourth term. In a proportion the first and last terms are called the extremes while the second and third terms are called the means. Furthermore, the product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means. In addition to this fundamental rule of proportion, there are a number of ways of transforming a proportion. Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for I just put together what I know since ratios and proportions are similar.
