You entered 576 :700. This is a ratio that is read "576 to 700."
Here 576 is called the antecedent, and 700 is called the consequent. The first term is always called the antecedent and the second term is always called the consequent.
Your ratio can be reduced, just like a fraction. Here, 576 and 700 share the common factor of 4. So we can divide both numbers by 4 to get a ratio that means exactly the same thing as 576 :700. This ratio will be 144:175.
In other words, 144:175 is the same as your ratio 576 :700.
Ratios sometimes mean how each number relates to some whole amount. For example, your ratio is 576 :700. Since, 576 + 700 = 1276, 1276 is your whole amount. So, 576 is one part of 1276, and 700 is the other part of 1276.
So your ratio means 576 /1276 forms one part, and 700/1276 forms the other part. This is what is meant by "ratios compare the size of one number to another number." The size of these two parts is what a ratio compares.
Notice that 576 /1276 = 0.451411 (45.1411%), and 700/1276 = 0.548589 (54.8589%) (these are the two parts), and 0.451411 + 0.548589 = 1 (they add to be 1 whole).
This can also be stated in terms of percentages, like 45.1411% + 54.8589% = 100%.

A ratio is really nothing more than a fraction. Your denominator would be the total (whole pie), and your numerator would be the piece or portion.
So if I want to compare 10 reds to a bag of 300 total (multiple colors), I would write the ratio as 10 / 300, 10 to 300, or 10:300.

Just make a fraction out of it.
576/700 = 57.6/70
then reduce it down to 5.76/7
then change the slash / to a colon :
Then re-write it to 5.76:7 so the ratio would be 5.76 to 7

You divide the tile number and carpet number by the total
The ratio here is 45.14% to 54.86%
