Ratio: A comparison of two quantities expressed as a quotient, typically written as a : b or a/b. It indicates how many times one value contains or is contained within the other.
Ratio notation: The way ratios are written, often using a colon (a : b) or fraction (a/b), to compare quantities directly.
Proportion: An equation stating that two ratios are equivalent, written as a : b = c : d or a/b = c/d. It signifies that the relationship between the first pair is the same as the second pair.
Equivalent ratios: Ratios that express the same relationship, meaning a : b = c : d if and only if a × d = b × c (cross-multiplication).
Cross-multiplication method: A technique to solve proportions by multiplying across the equal sign, transforming the proportion a/b = c/d into a × d = b × c.
Unit rate: The ratio of two quantities where the second quantity is 1, often used to compare per-unit quantities, e.g., miles per hour or price per item.
