A ratio cannot become a proportion but can be solved in one.
So you want to know how to tell if two ratios/fractions are equal?
First, cross multiply the fractions, then check to see if the equation is true:
3/4 = 27/36
because
3 * 36 = 4 * 27
Work it out on your calculator. Also:
1/3 =/= 1/2 (does not equal)
because
1 * 2 =/= 1 * 3
Another example:
1 / 2 = 2 / 4
because
1 * 4 = 2 * 2
Get it?
ratio & proportion was explored by an ancient Greek-golden Ratio
The primary current is determined by the secondary current, not the other way around. For example, a step up transformer will step up the primary voltage in proportion to the turns ratio of the transformer. Any secondary current is then determined by the secondary voltage and the load, NOT by the primary current. The primary current is then determined by the secondary current in proportion to the reciprocal of the turns ratio.
A proportion is (one ratio) equal to (another ratio). 1/10 is only one ratio. Without another ratio, there's nothing you can do to it to make a proportion.
a ratio is a comparison between 2 things and a proportion is a ratio on each side of the = sign
Converting a ratio to a percent is not the same as solving a proportion.
The golden ratio is 1:1.1618...... This is used in art when making the proportion of the body and the legs. Normally the legs would be 1.1618.. and the top will be the 1. This is counted as the most beautiful proportion
A fraction, such as x/y is equivalent to the ratio (or proportion) of x:y
Well, honey, a proportion is formed when two ratios are equal. So, to find the missing number that forms a proportion with 12 and 7, you simply divide 12 by 7 to get approximately 1.714. There you go, math made sassy!
