    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. Proportional reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_reasoning

    The abstract thought experiment is: "Suppose that one of the variables is doubled in value, how will the other variable change?" If the answer is "double", then this may be a constant ratio problem. But if the answer is not double, such as for the age problem with Mr. Tall and Mr. Short given above, then it is not a constant ratio problem.

  6. Unitary method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_method

    The same method can also be used as a step in more complicated problems, such as those involving the division of a good into different proportions. When used in this way, the value of a single unit, found in the unitary method, may depend on previously calculated values rather than being a simple ratio of givens. [2]

  7. 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).
