Solution

Ratio.

A ratio is a comparison between two or more quantities of the same units that indicate ‘how many times' a quantity is of another quantity. The ratio between any two quantities a and b is represented as a:b.

For example, if there are 2 red balls and 5 black balls in a box then their ratio is 2:5.

Thus, a ratio indicated the relative sizes of two or more quantities of the same unit.
