Ratio and proportions:


Today Let us know about Ratios and proportions. Ratio and proportion is one of the most important concepts of math.. we today will discuss about ratio and later I will give you some knowledge on linear programing problems in statistics and probability. I will share with you how to find ratio.

A ratio is a fraction that is denominator and  numerator can have different units. Ratio examples : if you travel 100 miles in 2 hours, we can write that as a ratio:

 2hours
100miles
And we can simplify that ratio, using the selfsame techniques for simplifying fractions:

2hours100miles = 1hour50miles. Get more examples from solving math problems.

If a and b are two quantities with the similar units much that b is not equalized to nought; then the quotient a/b is called the ratio between a and b. It is handwritten as a:b.
Ratio does not bonk any object.
The quantities a and b are called damage of the ratio.
a' is called preexistent (early constituent)
b' is titled ensuant (gear constituent).


If there are 4 oranges and 5 apples, the ratios of oranges to apples is exposed as 2:3; where as the fraction of oranges to total fruit is [(4)/(5)].

Proportions: Four quantities a, b, c and d are said to be in equipoise, if a:b=c:d. a and d are titled extremes of the placement. b and c are titled effectuation of the arrangement.
