Two cousins, Heena and Amir, are measuring their heights against a wall. Heena is two times taller than Amir, and Amir's height is half of Heena's height. This information can be expressed as a ratio comparing their heights, such as Heena's height to Amir's height being 2:1 or 150:75. The document then discusses what a ratio is and provides examples of how to write and calculate ratios in different contexts.
