Coa Ratio & Proportion 12.41 Ratio 12.4 Properties 12.1 RATIO. The rato of two quantities ofthe same kind and in the same tinits is a fraction that shows how many times cone quantity is of the other. The ratio of two numbers and b (bs not equal to 0) is & and denoted by a:b, where ais called antecedent and bis called consequent. Properties of Ratio While finding the ratio of like quantities, make sure that units of measurement are same. The ratio of unlike quantities i¢ meaningless For example : The ratio of a man’s weight and his height, A ratio docs not have any unit Expressions like double, triple and four times can. bbe expressed as ratios. For example: 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1. 12.2 RATIO IN THE SIMPLEST FORM A ratio is said to be in the simplest form, if the antecedent and the consequent have no common factors other than I £1 A.

(Check the units also.) > Divide the numerator and the denominator by their HCE, so that there is no common factor other than 1 between numerator and denominator. The answer is a fraction in its simplest form, so change it to ratio, which will be in the simplest 12.3 EQUIVALENT RATIOS > Two ratios are said to be equivalent ratios, if thelr simplest forms are equal > A ratio is similar to a fraction. So, if we divide or multiply the numerator (antecedent) and denominator (consequent) by the same non-zero ‘number, we get an equivalent fraction (ratio). ovmpiaa Bite Wa tunber is ied iro two pas nage a, en Antecedent Fist part = AaveceHent Number Pa um of terms Second part = LOTR. unber Sum of terms (A) 5:10.
