关于ratio: A ratio may be expressed in several ways. For example, the ratio of 2 to 3 can be written as 2 to 3, 2:3, or 2/3.
A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal; for example 2/3=8/12 is a proportion. One way to solve a proportion involving an unknown is to cross multiply, obtaining a new equality. For example,to solve for n in the proportion , 2/3=n/12 ,cross multiply, obtaining 24 = 3n ; then divide both sides by 3, to get n = 8.
202,查了一下wikipedia,里面有这么一句: The ratio could have been written as 25:45:20:10 but this can be cancelled to the simplest form given above. 所以ratio是可以不用化到最简的
