Solution

The correct option is B

Comparison of two quantities.


A ratio is a comparison of quantities. We can also say it is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.
Let's say that the ratio of apples and oranges is 4:3

What this conveys is that for every 4 apples, there are 3 oranges.
