    Study Notes

    Ratios and Proportions

    • A ratio is used to compare two or more quantities by division.

    Obtaining the Second Part of a Ratio

    • In the ratio a : b : c, the second part (b) is obtained by dividing a given number A by a.

    Proportion

    • Four quantities are said to be in proportion when the ratio of the first and second quantities is equal to the ratio of the third and fourth quantities.

    Mean Proportional

    • If a : b = b : c, then b is the mean proportional between a and c.

    Equivalent Ratios

    • If p : q = r : s = t : u = 2 : 3, then the ratio (mp + nr + ot) : (mq + ns + ou) is also equal to 2 : 3.
