ratio means proportion, correlation, or relationship.

Eg. The ratio of brown dogs to white dogs is 6:2. This means there are 6 brown dogs and two white dogs in the group. You could also say that there are 3 times as many brown dogs as white dogs.

You can simplify a ratio. Take the example we looked at: 6:2. You could simplify that one by dividing each by the same number.

You would divide it by 2, and end up with 3:1. That still says that there are 3 times as many brown dogs as white dogs.

I hope this helps you.
