The value obtained when one quantity is divided by another of the same kind to indicate their relative proportions is called a “ratio.” A ratio compares the magnitude or size of two or more quantities and expresses how many times one quantity is larger or smaller than another. It is commonly represented using a colon (:) or a fraction (\/). Ratios are useful for comparing and analyzing data in various fields such as mathematics, science, finance, and statistics. They provide a way to understand the relationship and proportion between different quantities.<\/p>\n
