Any one of the infinitely many ration fractions of the form k/(3*k) where k is a non-zero integer, is an equivalent fraction
It's the ration card number.
What does a circle with a k in it on food mean
Suppose you are given the ratio X/Y.To find an equivalent ration, take ANY positive integer, k. Then (k*X)/(k*Y) is an equivalent ratio.Strictly speaking, k need not be a positive integer: it need not even be a real number. All that is required is that it is not 0.
who invented the ration books
If you were lucky you would get k ration. They were an important source of food for WWII soldiers. A K ration was also a pocket ration for paratroopers .... but large, pockets that were designed to be able to hold a k ration box. A C ration is an already canned food sent in to the soldiers. If you got or had none of those you had to eat a German soldier. To finish off you would not get to much food to eat during World War 2.
No, those have been phased out for quite some time. They began being phased out in 1958 for the Meal, Combat, Individual Ration, which, in turn, were phased out for the Meal, Ready To Eat (more commonly known as MRE), which was first issued in 1981 and became a general issue item in 1986.
They were called K-Rations.
The letter "C" doesn't actually stand for anything. Fresh food was given an "A" nomenclature (A-ration). Packaged but unprepared food was given a "B" nomenclauture (B-ration). C-rations designated prepackaged, prepared foods which were ready for consumption upon opening. The survival rations were given a "D" or "K" nomenclature.

I am sorry there is no such word. If you mean ration, it means an amount of something.
Your answer below came from Wikipedia under the heading of K Rations. *** The actual prototype of the K ration was a pocket ration for paratroopers developed by the Subsistence Research Laboratory (SRL) at the request of the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAF) early in the war.[3] Two original samples (one version used pemmican biscuits, a peanut bar, raisins, and bouillon paste; the other used pemmican biscuits, a small D ration bar, canned processed meat, and lemon beverage powder) evolved into the one-package breakfast-dinner-supper combination later adopted as standard.[3] The Quartermaster Command's Subsistence Branch altered some components and renamed the ration the Field Ration, Type K, or "K ration"; the final version totaled 2,830 calories a day.[4] The first procurement of K rations was made in May 1942.[3] Although rumor has it that it was named after Dr. Keys or was short for "Kommando" (as elite troops were the first to receive it), the letter "K" was selected because it was phonetically distinct from other letter-name rations.[1]
