Ratio & Proportion Formulas
Ratios: A ratio is a comparison and a division all in one, and it can be regarded as such. The proportion B/G = 7/2 can be represented as “the ratio of boys to girls is seven to two.” Please do whatever you want with it: Whatever you choose to call it, 7G = 2B or B = 7G/2. When it comes to ratios, don’t use the “:” sign.
GMAT writers like to use ratios (multiplicative relationships) with a fundamental component (addition/subtraction).
A ratio is the comparison of two numbers. The a to b ratio can alternatively be written as a:b or a/b
Note: It’s worth noting that when we have a ratio like B/G = 7/2, we don’t truly know how many girls and boys there are. Fourteen boys and four girls, or 70 males and 20 girls, are possible combinations. Absolute-number questions should be approached with prudence.
Proportion: A percentage consists of two ratios that are set to be equal., like in the question above. In most cases, one of the four slots contains a variable, and we are taught to cross-multiply and solve for that variable. However, before cross multiplying, it’s a good idea to minimise top-bottom AND left-right. You’ll be able to work with the smallest (and easiest) (and quickest) numbers conceivable. A proportion is the product of two ratios that are equal. To assist us build equivalent ratios and solve for unknown numbers, we write proportions.
