...,^=|. 77. Proportion is an equality of ratios. Thua, 78. Three quantities are said to be Proportional, when the ratio of the first to the second, is equal to the ratio of the second to the third. As of the three quantities A (2), B (4), c (8), where f =f =5, both the same ratio....

...f = 1 ; that is, the ratio of 2 to 6 is equal to one third. 77. When four magnitudes are such that the ratio of the first to the second, is equal to the ratio of the third to the fourth, these four magnitudes are said to be in proportion. Proportion is equality of ratios. " A PROPORTION,"...

...— -i ; that is, the ratio of 2 to 6 is equal to one third. 77. When four magnitudes are such that the ratio of the first to the second, is equal to the ratio of the third to the fourt.n, these four magnitudes arc said to be in proportion. Proportion is equality of ratios, " A...

...the ratio. Thus, 3 : 5, denotes the ratio of 3 to 5. Four quantities are said to be in geometrical proportion, when the ratio of the first to the second...is equal to the ratio of the third to the fourth. Thus, the four numbers 8, 4, 14, 7, are proportional, because the ratio 8 : 4 is equal to the ratio...
