Is there a silver ratio if there's a golden ratio?

yes, if the golden ratio is ((square root 5) +1)/2, then the silver ratio is (square root 2) +1. as the golden ratio is represented by phi, the silver ratio is represented by deltas. as two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one, two quantities are in the silver ratio if the ratio between the sum of the smaller plus twice the larger of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller.


What is a ratio of two quantities that have different units?

It is a rate. For instance, if the quantities are 10 km and 2 hours, then the ratio (10 km)/(2 hours) = 10/2 km/hour = 5 km/h, which is a rate of speed.


What is the 2 quantities that have a constant rate or ratio?

Proportional


What are three ways a ratio can be written?

A ratio can be written in three common ways: using a colon, as a fraction, or in words. For example, the ratio of 2 to 3 can be expressed as 2:3, as the fraction 2/3, or in words as "2 to 3." Each format conveys the same relationship between the two quantities.


What is a ratio that expresses the same relationship between two quantities?

A ratio that expresses the same relationship between two quantities is a simplified or equivalent ratio. For example, if the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3, then 4:6 or 6:9 also express the same relationship because they maintain the same proportionality. Ratios can be scaled up or down by multiplying or dividing both terms by the same non-zero number, preserving their relative relationship.
