The ratio of width to height of typical computer displays

A ratio is a quantity that denotes the proportional amount or magnitude of one quantity relative to another. A visual display unit, often called simply a monitor or display, is a piece of Electrical equipment which displays images generated from the Video Quantity is a kind of property which exists as magnitude or multitude This article is about proportionality the mathematical relation

Ratios are unitless when they relate quantities of the same dimension. In Dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity (or more precisely a quantity with the dimensions of 1) is a Quantity without any Physical units In mathematics the dimension of a Space is roughly defined as the minimum number of Coordinates needed to specify every point within it When the two quantities being compared are of different types, the units are the first quantity "per" unit of the second — for example, a speed or velocity can be expressed in "miles per hour". In Physics, velocity is defined as the rate of change of Position. If the second unit is a measure of time, we call this type of ratio a rate.

Fractions and percentages are both specific applications of ratios. In Mathematics, a fraction (from the Latin fractus, broken is a concept of a proportional relation between an object part and the object In Mathematics, a percentage is a way of expressing a number as a Fraction of 100 ( per cent meaning "per hundred" Fractions relate the part (the numerator) to the whole (the denominator) while percentages indicate parts per 100.

A ratio of 2:3 ("two to three") means that the whole is made up of 2 parts of one thing and 3 parts of another — thus, the whole contains five parts in all. To be specific, if a basket contains 2 apples and 3 oranges, then the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. If another 2 apples and 3 oranges are added to the basket, then it will contain 4 apples and 6 oranges, resulting in a ratio of 4:6, which is equivalent to a ratio of 2:3 (thus ratios reduce like regular fractions). In Mathematics, reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form In this case, 2/5 or 40% of the fruit are apples and 3/5 or 60% are oranges in the basket.

Note that in the previous example the proportion of apples in the basket is 2/5 ("two of five" fruits, "two out of five" fruits, "two fifths" of the fruits, or 40% of the fruits). Thus a proportion compares part to whole instead of part to part.

Throughout the physical sciences, ratios of physical quantities are treated as real numbers. Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of Natural science and Science that study non-living systems in contrast to the biological sciences In Mathematics, the real numbers may be described informally in several different ways For example, the ratio of 2π metres to 1 metre (say, the ratio of the circumference of a certain circle to its radius) is the real number 2π. The metre or meter is a unit of Length. It is the basic unit of Length in the Metric system and in the International Circles are simple Shapes of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are at a constant Distance, called the That is, 2πm/1m = 2π. Accordingly, the classical definition of measurement is the estimation of a ratio between a quantity and a unit of the same kind of quantity. Measurement is the process of estimating the magnitude of some attribute of an object such as its length or weight relative to some standard ( unit of measurement) such as (See also the article on commensurability in mathematics. In Mathematics, two non- Zero Real numbers a and b are said to be commensurable Iff a / b )

In algebra, two quantities having a constant ratio are in a special kind of linear relationship called proportionality. Algebra is a branch of Mathematics concerning the study of structure, relation, and Quantity. The word linear comes from the Latin word linearis, which means created by lines.
