ratio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'proportion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inspiration and perspiration? it's roughly 45% and 42%' is the wordplay.
'RATIO' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ratio that I've seen before include "eg 1:3" , "Correlation" , "five to four, perhaps" , "One to one - maybe" , "Relation between two things, numbers say" .)
