Answer:

Explanation:

Ratios are no different from fractions. They are "comparisons" of 2 or more things. Instead of fraction bars, they use colons to separate 2 different things.

For example:


(1)/(2)
=1:2

Now, let's do an example problem.

Ex: find the ratio of 5 cats to every dog.

We are comparing 5 cats to every 1 dog, so the ratio is:


5:1

Don't make thing more complicated to yourself, and don't overthink it. They are exactly like fractions. So treat them as such!
