...Art. 67. Def. 13. EUCLID'S TEST FOR EQUAL RATIOS. Euclid states this Test in the following manner: — The first of four magnitudes is said to have the same ratio to the second, as the third has to the fourth, when any equimultiples whatsoever of the first and third being taken,... | |

...is the equality of two ratios. Four quantities are therefore in true proportion when the first has the same ratio to the second which the third has to the fourth ; thus, since 3 : 6 and 1 : 2 are equal ratios, we have a true proportion in 3 : 6 : : 1 : 2 (read... | |
