Ratio And Proportion Concept , Tricks , Examples
Ratio And Proportion In Mathematics ratios and proportion is a very important concept. Let us understand the concepts with the help of examples and solved questions. Ratios Ratios are the mathematical numbers used to compare two things that are similar to each other in terms of units. For example, we can compare the length of a pencil to the length of a pen likewise distance to a unit that denotes distance. We can’t compare two things that are not similar to each other. Similarly, we can’t compare the height of a person to the weight of another person. As an illustration, suppose the weight of Rohan is 150 kg and the weight of Sohan is 300kg. A ratio of Rohan’s weight to Sohan’s weight can be found out by dividing Rohan’s weight to Sohan’s weight and vice versa. The ratio between Rohan’s and Sohan’s weight is 150/300= 1:2. A ratio is denoted by ‘:’. In the above case, we can say that 2 times the weight of Rohan equals the weight of Sohan or Rohan’s weight is half of Sohan...
