ratio definition

In mathematics, there are various ways which provide the relationship between different concepts of mathematics. Ratio in mathematics is also a concept that shows the relationship between two numbers of the same nature. It means to say that ratio is a mathematical concept which is used to express how many times a number contains in comparison of other or first number. Generally the concept of ratio definition can be describe by taking two variable x and y as “ x to y” or in second form which is more popular i. e, x:y.

If we want to describe a concept of ratio in simple language then we express them as a relative size of two or more variables. The concept of ratio definition can be described by the ‘:’ symbol. This symbol shows the relationship between the same kinds of number by describing in what manner first number is related to another number. The concept of ratio can be performed by division of two numbers. As like there is a ratio of two numbers given like 2:10 which says that first number 2 is 5 times smaller than second number 10.

At the time of performing ratio analysis we can perform their task by follow the some of the step that are given below. Here these steps are express by solving a query. (Know more about ratio in broad manner, here,)

Suppose there are two variables x and y. if value of x is equal to the 5 and their ratio is 1 : 3 then calculate the value of y?

To perform the above given task x : y = 1 : 3 = 5 : ?

So,  first we need to perform the division of given variable with their corresponding ratio value. That is 5 / 1 = 5.

Now we need to multiply the same output with another ratio value. That is 5 * 3 = 15.

In the final step we can say that the ratio of x : y = 1: 3 = 5 : 15

In mathematics,  algebra 2 solver is a concept that helps the student by describing how to solve algebraic equation.  In board examination preparation, icse board sample papers helps the student to focus on important concept that has the higher possibility to come in exam and In the next session we will discuss about  What are Ordered Pairs.
