...the same or equal to the ratio of 9 to 12. Proportion consists of three terms at least. Three numbers are said to be proportional, when the ratio of the first to the second, is the same as- the ratio of the second to the fourth; as 2, 4,8, where -}=£=2, both the same ratio, for 4 is as much greater in... | |

Three magnitudes or quantities, A, 11, (.', are said to be proportional, when the ratio of the first to the second is the same as that of the second to the third. Thus, 2, 4, 8, are proportional, because 4 is contained in 8 as many... | |

...Thus, to illustrate this definition, let us take the numbers 10, 4, 15, and 6, and it will be seen that the ratio of the first to the second is the same as the ratio of the third to the fourth. For, if the first and third be multiplied by 2, and the second and fourth by 5, the multiples of the... | |
