Question

Can someone help me understand ratios​

Answer 1

ratios compare two quantities

basically ratios are usually in the form x : y (x to y), where the quantity of x is compared to the quantity of y. there can be different values for x and y in this case. they can either both be part of a whole, or one can be part of a whole while the other is the whole.

Answer 2

Explanation:

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

ratio 3:1

There are 3 blue squares to 1 yellow square

Ratios can be shown in different ways:

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

Or we can use the word "to": 3 to 1

Or write it like a fraction: 31

A ratio can be scaled up:

ratio 3:1 is also 6:2

Here the ratio is also 3 blue squares to 1 yellow square,

even though there are more squares.
