2. Ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

   The ratio of width to height of standard-definition television. In mathematics, a ratio (/ ˈ r eɪ ʃ (i) oʊ /) shows how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).

3. Silver ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_ratio

   In mathematics, the silver ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 70/29.Its exact value is 1 + √2, the positive solution of the equation x 2 = 2x + 1.. The name silver ratio results from analogy with the golden ratio, the positive solution of the equation x 2 = x + 1.

4. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, two sequences of numbers, often experimental data, are proportional or directly proportional if their corresponding elements have a constant ratio. The ratio is called coefficient of proportionality (or proportionality constant ) and its reciprocal is known as constant of normalization (or normalizing constant ).

5. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...

6. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

   In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities ⁠ a {\displaystyle a} ⁠ and ⁠ b {\displaystyle b} ⁠ with ⁠ a > b > 0 {\displaystyle a>b>0} ⁠ , ⁠ a {\displaystyle a} ⁠ is in a golden ratio to ...

7. Proportion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(mathematics)

   A proportion is a mathematical statement expressing equality of two ratios. [1] [2]: =: a and d are called extremes, b and c are called means. Proportion can be written as =, where ratios are expressed as fractions.

8. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

   For example, the constant π may be defined as the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The following list includes a decimal expansion and set containing each number, ordered by year of discovery. The column headings may be clicked to sort the table alphabetically, by decimal value, or by set.

9. Percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

   The percent value is computed by multiplying the numeric value of the ratio by 100. For example, to find 50 apples as a percentage of 1,250 apples, one first computes the ratio ⁠ 50 / 1250 ⁠ = 0.04, and then multiplies by 100 to obtain 4%. The percent value can also be found by multiplying first instead of later, so in this example, the 50 ...
