Solution

True. A ratio does indeed compare two quantities, often in the form of a fraction. For example, the ratio of apples to oranges in a fruit basket might be 3/2, meaning there are 3 apples for every 2 oranges.

A proportion, on the other hand, is a statement that two ratios or fractions are equal. For example, if we say that the ratio of apples to oranges in one basket is the same as the ratio of apples to oranges in another basket, we are stating a proportion. So, if the first basket has a ratio of 3/2, and the second basket also has a ratio of 3/2, we can say the two ratios are proportional.
