Given X:Y, where X and Y are the integers of your ratio, divide both sides by Y. Then you'll have:

(X / Y) : (Y / Y)

Recognizing that an integer divided by itself is equal to one,

(Y / Y) = 1

Finally, you are left with your solution of

(X / Y) : 1 Given X:Y, where X and Y are the integers of your ratio, divide both sides by Y. Then you'll have:

(X / Y) : (Y / Y)

Recognizing that an integer divided by itself is equal to one,

(Y / Y) = 1

Finally, you are left with your solution of

(X / Y) : 1

What comes first alphabetically everyone or every one?

'Every one' is two words.'Everyone' is one word.And, therefore, alphabetically, 'every' comes before 'everyone', just as key comes before keyhole. Consequently, in some dictionaries, the phrase 'every one' is sometimes included within the range of definitions for 'every' because it is an idiom that uses the word 'every'.In this case, 'every one' appears before 'everyone'.However, some dictionaries do not include 'every one' as a sub-aspect of the word 'every', but show it as a unique entry in its own right, immediately after the entry for the word 'everyone'.A number of English words were formerly two separate words, e.g. forever (for + ever) and the new composite word has the same meaning as the two words written separately. However, with everyone, and every one, the meanings and usage may differ slightly.

Most fractions are not rational numbers is that true?

Rational number means that can be written as a quotient (from ratio, latin meaning division). E.g .5 is a rational that can be written 1/2. Can't think of the fraction result that is not a rational. However some rational numbers are not real number, they are irrational (i.e. can't be written as a quotient). Think of pi or square root of 2.
