Assuming that you mean ratio, and not ration, it is a measure of the efficiency. It has a value between 0 and 1 and a percentage is a convenient way to represent such values.
Efficiency is a quantity usually expressed as a percentage that measures the ratio of work output to work input. It shows how much of the work input is successfully converted into useful work output.
A four-firm concentration ration of 50 percent means that the top four firms of a particular industry produce 50% of the total output for the entire industry. The higher the concentration ration, the closer the industry becomes to an oligopoly or a monopoly.
It is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction
A number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers is called a rational number. It is in the form a/b.
This ration can be expressed as 2:6 or 1:3 which is the simpler version.
It is acceptable to work with either molar quantities expressed in grams or average molecular quantities expressed in atomic mass units because both methods give the same relative proportions of elements in a compound. The molar quantities expressed in grams allow for direct measurement and calculations based on mass, while the average molecular quantities expressed in atomic mass units provide a more theoretical approach in determining percentage composition.
Yes
Is this 4% on an as-fed ration or as a dry-matter ration? Technically it would depend on the cow, but usually most Holsteins give around 20 to 30 gal. of milk per day.
Yes, 0.25 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of 1/4
Yes. A rational number is one that can be expressed as a ration of two whole numbers. 0.171717 is 171717/1000000 or the ration of 171717 to 1000000 [ the word rational has the same linguistic root as ratio].
Not all animals should have fat in their diets (especially herbivores)
The basic diet of a dairy cow is a TMR (total mixed ration) this ration usually consists of soybean, silage, and hay (alfa alfa), this ration is mixed in a large machine and delivered to the manger for the cow to eat.
