(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In algebra, a ratio is the relationship between two quantities. It is expressed as the quotient of one magnitude divided by another, or as a relation between several variables.
Examples:
Note the use of words such as "times", "parts", "number", etc. This occurs because ratios are unitless; the units cancel out of the ratio. e.g. 3kg/5kg = 3000g/5000g = 3/5.
- If a school has a twenty-to-one student-teacher ratio, that means that there are twenty times as many students as teachers.
- In a benzene ring, atoms of carbon and hydrogen exist in a one-to-one ratio with each other; there are the same number of each. The carbon:hydrogen ratio in naphthalene is 5:4. The ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in water is 1:2.
- Jupiter is 318 times the size of Earth.
- To mix a Bloody Mary, combine 2 parts vodka, 1/2 part lemon juice, and 3 parts tomato juice.
Ratios are not exactly the same thing as fractions. For example, if I have three pennies and five nickels, then the ratio of pennies to nickels is 3:5 or 3/5 (this indicates that there are three fifths as many pennies as nickels, but the fraction of coins which are pennies is 3/(3+5) = 3/8 (this indicates that the chances of a randomly selected coin being a penny are three in eight).
The most common thing to do with ratios is multiply them. For example, if there are two snorts for every giggle, and three giggles for every guffaw, then (since 2sn/1gig × 3gig/guf = 6sn/guf) there are six snorts for every guffaw. Note that the intermediate unit "giggle" canceled out of the expression. Note also that each fraction in the expression was equal to one, which is how we know that their product (6sn/guf) is also equal to one. Similarly, if I know there are two guffaws, then I can multiply by 6 snorts per guffaw (6sn/guf = one, the multiplicative identity) to learn that there are 12 snorts.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | FLY-:SPECK:, n. The prototype of punctuation. It is observed by Garvinus that the systems of punctuation in use by the various literary nations depended originally upon the social habits and general diet of the flies infesting the several countries. These creatures, which have always been distinguished for a neighborly and companionable familiarity with authors, liberally or niggardly embellish the manuscripts in process of growth under the pen, according to their bodily habit, bringing out the sense of the work by a species of interpretation superior to, and independent of, the writer's powers. The "old masters" of literature -- that is to say, the early writers whose work is so esteemed by later scribes and critics in the same language -- never punctuated at all, but worked right along free-handed, without that abruption of the thought which comes from the use of points. (We observe the same thing in children to-day, whose usage in this particular is a striking and beautiful instance of the law that the infancy of individuals reproduces the methods and stages of development characterizing the infancy of races.) In the work of these primitive scribes all the punctuation is found, by the modern investigator with his optical instruments and chemical tests, to have been inserted by the writers' ingenious and serviceable collaborator, the common house-fly -- Musca maledicta. In transcribing these ancient MSS, for the purpose of either making the work their own or preserving what they naturally regard as divine revelations, later writers reverently and accurately copy whatever marks they find upon the papyrus or parchment, to the unspeakable enhancement of the lucidity of the thought and value of the work. Writers contemporary with the copyists naturally avail themselves of the obvious advantages of these marks in their own work, and with such assistance as the flies of their own household may be willing to grant, frequently rival and sometimes surpass the older compositions, in respect at least of punctuation, which is no small glory. Fully to understand the important services that flies perform to literature it is only necessary to lay a page of some popular novelist alongside a saucer of cream-and-molasses in a sunny room and observe "how the wit brightens and the style refines" in accurate proportion to the duration of exposure. |

| Croatian | Dare pak imamo razlièite po milosti koja nam je dana: je li to prorokovanje - neka je primjereno vjeri; |
| Danish | Men efterdi vi have forskellige Nådegaver efter den Nåde, som er given os, det være sig Profeti, da lader os bruge den i Forhold til vor Tro; |
| Dutch | Hebbende nu verscheidene gaven, naar de genade, die ons gegeven is, |
| Finnish | ja meillä on erilaisia armolahjoja sen armon mukaan, mikä meille on annettu; jos jollakin on profetoimisen lahja, käyttäköön sitä sen mukaan, kuin hänellä uskoa on; |
| French | Puisque nous avons des dons différents, selon la grâce qui nous a été accordée, que celui qui a le don de prophétie l`exerce selon l`analogie de la foi; |

| Maori | Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono; |
| Norwegian | Og da vi har ulike nådegaver, alt efter den nåde som er oss gitt, så la oss, om vi har profetisk gave, bruke den efter som vi har tro til, |
| Portuguese | De modo que, tendo diferentes dons segundo a graça que nos foi dada, se é profecia, seja ela segundo a medida da fé; |

| Swedish | Och vi hava olika gåvor, alltefter den nåd som har blivit oss given. Har någon profetians gåva, så bruke han den efter måttet av sin tro; |
