Can someone give me a example of a ratio?

Answer 1

Suppose there are 13 girls and 11 boys in your class. Then the ratio of girls to boys is 13 to 11 or 13:11 or 13/11

Answer 2

A ratio is a dimensionless, or unitless, quantity denoting an amount or magnitude of one quantity relative to another. Fractions and percentages are both specific applications of ratios. Fractions relate the part (the numerator) to the whole (the denominator) while percentages always indicate parts per hundred.

A ratio can be written as two numbers separated by a colon (:) which is read as the word "to". For example, a ratio of 2:3 ("two to three") means that the whole is made up of 2 parts of one thing and 3 parts of another — thus, the whole contains five parts in all. To be specific, if a basket contains 2 apples and 3 oranges, then the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. If another 2 apples and 3 oranges are added to the basket, then it will contain 4 apples and 6 oranges, resulting in a ratio of 4:6, which is equivalent to a ratio of 2:3 (thus ratios "reduce" like regular fractions). In both cases, there are 2/3 as many apples as oranges in the basket, or 3/2 as many oranges as apples

Answer 3

A ratio can be a comparison of two numbers === like if there 6 girls and 5 boys the ratio of boys to girls is 5:6 or 5/6

Answer 4

3\4 2\7 ect
