The document discusses ratios, proportions, and scale drawings. It begins by defining a ratio as a comparison of two or more quantities without units. Ratios can be written in different forms such as a:b or a to b. A proportion is an equation stating that one ratio is equal to another. Direct proportion means that as one quantity increases, the other also increases by the same factor. Inverse proportion means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Scale drawings use a scale ratio to show the relationship between an object's depicted size and its actual size. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating ratios, proportions, direct and inverse proportions, and using scale ratios.
