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 a ratio between 2 different quantities?
A ratio between two (usually) different quantities is the rate. Usually used to describe something compared to a quantity of time.
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 non example of a constant of proportionality?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! A non-example of a constant of proportionality would be a relationship where the ratio between two quantities is not always the same. Imagine a situation where the more you paint, the less paint you use each time - that would not have a constant of proportionality. Just like in painting, it's all about finding balance and harmony in the relationships around us.
What is a ratio related to science?
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.
