                Why study this chapter?
               Ratios, rates and
               proportions are involved
               in the fields that require
               the concept of comparisons.
               An astronomer measures the
               distance in the solar system by
               comparing each distance in the
               solar system with the distance from       The Hippocampus kuda is a type of seahorse
               the Earth to the Sun. A nurse uses        found in river estuaries. These seahorses are

               of comparisons.                           biologists will tag the first sample of the
                                                         seahorses and then release them back to the
                                                         original sites where they were collected from.
