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.
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.
Proportional
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.
In science, the ratio of two quantities is the value of the first quantity divided by the value of the second one. For example, the ratio of 10m to 5m is 2.
