Ratio and Proportion G6

Let say, there are 15 boys and 10 girls in your class. If we divide the number of boys with girls, we get an expression which is 3/2. This is simple maths, but hold on.

When two quantities have an equal ratio, they are said to be in 'Proportion'. Different symbols are used to denote each one of them. Want to know how do the symbols look like?
