Question

How can you define ratio?

Answer 1

Define Ratio :

In mathematics, a ratio is defined as the comparison of two or more quantities that indicates their sizes in relation to each other.

In simple words, it indicates how many times one number contains another.

The ratio of numbers $x$ and $y$ is represented as $\frac{x}{y}$.

For example, ratio of $2kg$ sugar and $5kg$ rice is expressed as $\frac{2}{5}$.

Hence, the ratio of any set of numbers can be expressed as $\frac{x}{y}$.
