What are a ratio and a proportion?

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

Pete, Lulu, and Liza are walking in the Boston downtown. Each time Pete takes 4 steps, Lulu takes 3 steps. Each time Lulu takes 5 steps, Liza takes 4 steps.

Then the relation between is given as

4 Pete → 4 Lulu

5 Lulu → 4 Liza

Then we have

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow \dfrac{5}{3} \ Lulu \rightarrow 4 \ Liza$

If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of the step taken by Pete will be

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow 4 \times 120 \\\\Pete \rightarrow 72$
