DEFINITION (Google): the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.
A ratio compares values.
A ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing.
There are 3 blue squares to 1 yellow square
Ratios can be shown in different ways:
Using the ":" to separate the values: 3 : 1
Instead of the ":" we can use the word "to": 3 to 1
Or write it like a fraction: 3/1
The trick with ratios is to always multiply or divide the numbers by the same value.
