...days, is J. The ratio of 3j hours to 7£ hours, is 31-i-7J=4f. When there are four quantities, of which the ratio of the first to the second is the same as that of the third to the fourth, these four quantities are said to be in proportion. Thus 4, 6, 8,...

...Proportion, then, is that relation in respect of magnitude, which subsists between four quantities, when the ratio of the first to the second is the same as the ratio ol the third to the fourth. Thus, the quantities 6, 3, 8, and 4, taken in that order, are proportionals;...

...to illustrate this defiuition, let us take the numbers 10, -I, 15, and 6, and it will be seen that the ratio of the first to the second is the same as the ratio of the third to the fourth. For, if the first and third be multiplied by 2, and the second and fourth by 5, the multiples of the...
