Explanation:

Step1: Determine the length of \(JK\) and \(JM\)

Assume each grid unit is \(1\). \(JK = 2\) units (vertical length from \(J\) to \(K\)), \(JM=4\) units (vertical length from \(J\) to \(M\)).

Step2: Calculate the ratio

The ratio of \(JK\) to its corresponding side \(JM\) in \(\triangle JMN\) is \(\frac{JK}{JM}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) (i.e., \(1\) to \(2\)).

Step3: Check similarity

Triangles are similar if the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal. Let's assume another pair of sides. For example, if \(KL\) and \(MN\) are considered. If \(KL = 1\) (horizontal - like movement from \(K\) to \(L\)) and \(MN = 2\) (horizontal - like movement from \(M\) to \(N\)), the ratio \(\frac{KL}{MN}=\frac{1}{2}\). Also, \(\angle J\) is common to both \(\triangle JKL\) and \(\triangle JMN\). By the Side - Angle - Side (SAS) similarity criterion (if the ratio of two pairs of corresponding sides is equal and the included angles are equal), \(\triangle JKL\sim\triangle JMN\).

Answer:

The ratio of \(\overline{JK}\) to its corresponding side in \(\triangle JMN\) is \(1\) to \(2\). Since the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal (and the included angle \(\angle J\) is common), \(\triangle JKL\) is similar to \(\triangle JMN\). So, the answers are: Ratio: \(1\) to \(2\); Similarity: Yes.
