Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Ratio: A comparison of two quantities expressed as a quotient, typically written as a : b or a/b. It indicates how many times one value contains or is contained within the other.

  • Ratio notation: The way ratios are written, often using a colon (a : b) or fraction (a/b), to compare quantities directly.

  • Proportion: An equation stating that two ratios are equivalent, written as a : b = c : d or a/b = c/d. It signifies that the relationship between the first pair is the same as the second pair.

  • Equivalent ratios: Ratios that express the same relationship, meaning a : b = c : d if and only if a × d = b × c (cross-multiplication).

  • Cross-multiplication method: A technique to solve proportions by multiplying across the equal sign, transforming the proportion a/b = c/d into a × d = b × c.

  • Unit rate: The ratio of two quantities where the second quantity is 1, often used to compare per-unit quantities, e.g., miles per hour or price per item.
