n. Relation in degree or number between two similar things.

n. Mathematics A relationship between two quantities, normally expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other: The ratio of 7 to 4 is written 7:4 or 7/4.

n. A number representing a comparison between two things.

n. The relative magnitudes of two quantities (usually expressed as a quotient).

n. Short for ratio decidendi.

adj.

n. The relation which one quantity or magnitude has to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus, the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by 3/6 or 1/2; of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second term is made the dividend; as, a:b = b/a.

n. Hence, fixed relation of number, quantity, or degree; rate; proportion.

n. The relation between two similar magnitudes in respect to quantity; the relation between two similar quantities in respect to how many times one makes so many times the other.

n. Proportion of relations or conditions; coincident agreement or variation; correspondence in rate; equivalence of relative movement or change.

n. Reason; cause: often used as a Latin word in current Latin phrases.
