What is ratio and proportion?

A ratio, similar to a proportion, is the value of one number or measurement in relation to another, and is often symbolized as x:y, x/y, or "x to y." Conceptually, ratios can be thought of as fractions and are often simplified the same way. For instance, if a cocktail recipe calls for 2 oz. of liquor for every 4 oz. of juice, the ratio of liquor to juice is 2:4, 2/4, or "2 to 4." However, 2:4 will almost always be simplified, in a similar way that fractions are, and written as 1:2. The main difference between the simplification methods of ratios vs. fractions is that for fractions, a value such as 10/6 will often be reduced to 1 2/3, whereas ratios will never pull an integer out of a fraction like that. In this particular case, the ratio would be 5:3, 5/3, or "5 to 3," not 1 2/3:3. The subtle, but meaningful difference in the usage of the terms proportion and ratio is that proportions often imply the combined totality of the two values or measurements you're relating as opposed to ratios, which are used to describe the values' relative independence. For example, you would say, "equal proportions," "directly proportional," and "inversely proportional," but you wouldn't say, "equal ratios," "directly rational," or "inversely rational."


The y axis values increases as the x axis values increase how is this shown on a graph and table?

On a graph it is shown by a line that goes from the bottom left towards the top right. There are fewer conventions about presenting data in a table and it is not possible to say how it might be shown. One possibility is that there is a column of y values and a column of x values. And both increase (decrease) together.


What is the all the sides for a volume of 500cm3 of a rectangle?

Well, you can't answer this question unless you know the ratios of the sides. And when I say that, I mean all the ratios.Now, if you're talking about a cube, then it's simply the cube root of the volume, or approximately 7.937 cm.That's...7.937 cm.If you have the ratios, say 2:50:5, then simply designate a variable, let's say "a". Then multiply 2a by 50a by 5a and set it equal to 500. Solve for "a", (it's 1). Then multiply by your ratio coefficients, which are 2, 5, and 5. You should get 2 by 50 by 5 centimeters.


the ratio of A to B is 2:3 and the ratio of B to C is 4:5. what is the ratio of A to C?

Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! To find the ratio of A to C, we can simply multiply the two ratios together. So, 2:3 times 4:5 gives us 8:15. That's the beautiful ratio of A to C, just like painting a lovely landscape with different colors blending harmoniously together.

Y California bearing ratio is called bearing ratio?

The ratio is a measure of the load causing penetration of some standard value say 2.5 mm or say 5.00 mm. This in turn is a meaure of the bearing capacity of a given soil subgrade within the limits of predecided penetration values. This precisely means it measures the bearing capacity of a given soil sample with respect to some standard known value soil / aggregate sample. Thus it is defined in the form of ratios of loads causing penetration of defined range wrt the known standard value. hence called a bearing ratio.


What ratios are used in hairdressing?

Hairdressing trainees must learn ratio in order to carry out several operations; Mixing colour, there are several ratios used for different manufacturers. Igora for instance use a 1:2 ratio for high lift and 1:1 ratio for normal colouring. Diluting peroxide, if you find yourself with say 40 volume peroxide (12%) and need 20 volume (6%) we would use a ratio of 1:1 but you need to be able to calculate this.


What is the trick for working out ratios and proportion?

the trick for working ratio and proportions out is to,eg, say if there 5 girls in a class and the ratio of how many boys was 5:1 there will be 25 boys because you simply have to do 5x5=25 then simply times it by one .i think


What is the comparison of a rational number and a ratio?

I have no idea what "compersion" means or what you are trying to say. A rational number is so called because it can be expressed as ratio of two integers. Each rational number is a ratio and each ratio is a rational number. However, the relationship is not one of equivalence: each rational number can be represented by infinitely many equivalent ratios.

What is the purpose of using Data Tables?

In Excel it allows you to do analysis based on a formula having one or two values changed to produce a table of various results. It will take values from the first row and first column and use them in a formula. The initial formula is in the cell on the first row and first column, in other words the top left cell of the table. Whatever the formula does, it then uses the values to fill the table. So say you put a formula in the top corner cell which adds two cells. Then you would use the first value on each row and column of the table as values for the formula.In Excel it allows you to do analysis based on a formula having one or two values changed to produce a table of various results.

Are Liquidity Ratios the higher the better?

No. High liquidity ratios may affect the amount of capital that can be invested/used to earn. Let us say in banks, if we increase the liquidity ratio by 10% the bank would have to reduce lending by that 10% to bridge the gap. which in turn would severely affect the banks earnings.

How might financial ratios be used when planning and implementing financial activites?

Financial ratios can be used for comparison • between two or more companies (ex: comparison between ICICI and HDFC Banks) • between two or more industries (ex: comparison between the Banking and Auto industry) • between different time-periods for the same company (ex: comparison on the results of the company in the current financial year and the previous year) • between a single company and the industry performance Ratios are generally meaningless unless we benchmark them against something else. Like say past performance or another company. Ratios of firms that operate in different industries, which face different risks, capital requirements, competition, customer demand etc can be very hard to compare.
