3:7 The first number is the number you''re comparing the other number to. The first number is the beginning of the ratio. The ratio is always the two numbers BUT it must always be reduced to the lowest numbers possible. This is done by finding the biggest number that will, evenly, go into both numbers. ex: 4:12 = 1:3//5:12 has no numbers that will evenly divide into both so the ratio remains 5:12
