A. What are ratios?

A ratio compares values.

A ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing.

B. What are 3 ways you can write a ratio?​

Ratios can be shown in different ways:

1) Use the ":" to separate the values:3 : 1

2 ) We can use the word "to": 3 to 1

3 ) Write it like a fraction: 3 / 1
