Anupat (Ratio)
Ratio is the comparison of two quantities of the same kind by division, expressed without any units.
Samanupat (Proportion)
An equality of two ratios is called a proportion, where the product of extremes equals the product of means.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to use direct or inverse proportion in a word problem?
Check the relationship: if more men take fewer days, it is inverse proportion. If more items cost more money, it is direct proportion.
Can a ratio have different units for its two quantities?
No, both quantities in a ratio must be in the same unit of measurement before comparing them.
Why do we multiply men and days in inverse proportion problems?
Because the total amount of work (measured in man-days) remains constant, so the product of workers and time stays equal.
