In mathematics, especially geometry, a ratio expresses the magnitude of quantities relative to each other rather. Specifically, the ratio of two quantities indicates how many times the first quantity is contained in the second and may be expressed algebraically as their quotient. Mathematically, a proportion is defined as the equality of two ratios. However in common usage the word proportion is used to indicate a ratio, especially the ratio of a part to a whole.

Notation and terminology

The ratio of quantities A and B can be expressed as:

  • the ratio of A to B
  • as B is to A
  • A:B.

The quantities A and B are sometimes called terms with A being the antecedent and B being the consequent.

The proportion expressing the equality of the ratios A:B and C:D is written A:B=C:D or A:B::C:D. Again, A, B, C, D are called the terms of the proportion. A and D are called the extremes, and B and C are called the means. The equality of three or more proportions is called a continued proportion.

A. I use transfer paper bought from Walmart. It's ironed on. It does fade fairly fast. You might want to put it on pillows, or cloth bags (to hold grocery items) as the design will last longer. 8 X 10 is good for adults. 1/2 that size for small children.
