Ratio vs. Proportion

A ratio compares two quantities, while a proportion compares two ratios to show they are equivalent.

Proportion Formula

The correct formula is a/b = c/d, where a and d are the extremes, and b and c are the means. Cross-multiplication helps solve for a missing term.

Ratio and Proportion Relationship

If a:b is a ratio and c:d is a proportion, the correct statement is a:b = c:d, meaning the two ratios are equal.
