The ratio of two quantities a and b is represented by the fraction a/b or a:b. Here, a and b are called the terms of the ratio. Multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same non-zero number does not change its value. For example, the ratio 4:5 is equivalent to 8:10.

If two ratios are equal, they are said to be in proportion. In mathematical form:

a:b :: c:d

Ratio and Proportion Basics

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and is represented in the form a:b or a/b. Here, a and b are called the terms of the ratio.

Multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same non-zero number does not change its value. For example, the ratio 4:5 remains equivalent to 8:10 when both terms are multiplied by 2.

Two ratios are said to be in proportion when they are equal. If:

a:b = c:d

then we can write:

a:b :: c:d
