In a ratio, the second term is the number that follows the first term, representing the other quantity being compared. For example, in the ratio 3:5, the second term is 5. In proportion, which equates two ratios, the second term is part of the relationship that shows how two pairs of quantities are equivalent, such as in the proportion 3:5 = 6:10, where 5 is the second term of the first ratio.

The second term in the ratio is 1.
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.
The relation which one quantity or magnitude has to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus, the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by / or /; of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second term is made the dividend; as, a:b = b/a., Hence, fixed relation of number, quantity, or degree; rate; proportion; as, the ratio of representation in Congress.
equality of two ratios is called proportion.

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. When the second term of a ratio is 100, it means that the ratio is comparing the first term to 100. For example, if the ratio is 1:100, it means the first term is 1 and the second term is 100. Ratios with a second term of 100 are often used to express proportions or percentages.

The numerator of the second ratio and the denominator of the first ratio are called the means, and the numerator of the first ratio and the denominator of the second ratio are called the extremes. The product of the means equals the product of the extremes.
"Is to" usually indicates a ratio or a proportion. 5 is to 10 as 9 is to 18.
The second term in the ratio is 1.

Converting a ratio to a percent is not the same as solving a proportion.
