Ratio And Proportion
Proportion : Proportion is an equation that defines that the two given ratios are equivalent to each other. In other words, the proportion states the equality of the two fractions or the ratios. In proportion, if two sets of given numbers are increasing or decreasing in the same ratio, then the ratios are said to be directly proportional to each other. Proportions are denoted by the symbol ‘::’ or ‘=’. The proportion can be classified into the following categories, such as: Direct Proportion Inverse Proportion Continued Proportion Direct Proportion The direct proportion describes the relationship between two quantities, in which the increases in one quantity, there is an increase in the other quantity also. Similarly, if one quantity decreases, the other quantity also decreases. Hence, if “a” and “b” are two quantities, then the direction proportion is written as a∝b. Inverse Proportion The inverse proportion describes the relationship between two quantities in which an increase i
