Question

Paul has 16 baseballs and 12 golf balls what is the ratio of balls to golf balls

Answer 1

Ratio is just a fraction in other form. To create ratio we can just make fraction and transform it into ratio, so

`(baseballs)/(golf bals) = (16)/(12) =16:12`
Now we can simplify the ratio/fraction

`(16)/(12) = (4)/(3)` = 4:3 - its the result
