...that the four numbers are in proportion, or that they form a proportion. We have already said that the ratio of two numbers is the quotient of the first divided by the second. Thus the ratio of two numbers, 56 and 7, being equal to the ratio of 48 and 6, since the quotient obtained by dividing... | |
