Any two ratios, provided the second is not 0, form a proportion.

What is the answer to a statement were 2 ratios are equal?
First: "were 2 ratios are equal" is a statement that does not make sense. Second: Even if it did, it is a statement, not a question. So there cannot be an answer.
Why do you take the reciprocal of the second fraction when dividing?
Because division by a number (the second fraction) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
What is the fraction for two ounces?
It is 2 ounces or, if you must, 2/1 ounces. If you want it as a fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity. It should be blindingly obvious to anybody that 2 ounces, as a fraction of 1 pound, will be quite different to 2 ounces as a fraction of a ton!
How do you tell if ratios are equivalent?
Ratios can be expressed as fractions. For example 1:7 can be written 1/7. Just as a fraction can be converted into an equivalent fraction by multiplying (or dividing) both the numerator and denominator by the same number then the same process can be applied to ratios. To compare two ratios then convert either the first or second number of the ratio so that both ratios have the same number. A direct comparison can then be made. EXAMPLE : 3:7 compared to 334 :777 If the figures in the first ratio are multiplied by 111 this makes the second number in both ratios the same. Then 3:7 is equivalent 333:777 which is not equal to 334:777 Equally, The second number in the second ratio could be divided by 111 in which case the comparison would then become 334:777 is equivalent to 3.009:7 which is not 3:7.
How are rates and ratios different?
Rates are applicable to two variables and the second one is usually rescaled to 1. Ratios may be for several variables simultaneously and all of the components may be greater than 1.
How can you check to see if two ratios form a proportion?
Any two ratios, provided the second is not 0, form a proportion.
How is a static discharge different from an electric current?

How do you divide fractions with un common denominators?
When dividing fractions, the denominators don't matter. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
Are 8 to 4 and 12 to 8 an equivalent ratios?
No, they are not equivalent ratios. To make them equivalent, The second one should be 16 to 8.
What fraction of a second is 1 picosecond?
What fraction of a second is 1 picosecond?
What is the algorithm for dividing a fraction by a fraction?
Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. That is, flip the second fraction over and then multiply the two.
How many hours is AM till PM?
It could be as little as just over zero (from a fraction of a second before noon to a fraction of a second after) to as much as 12 hours (from a fraction of a second after midnight to a fraction of a second after noon).
What is the answer to a statement were 2 ratios are equal?
First: "were 2 ratios are equal" is a statement that does not make sense. Second: Even if it did, it is a statement, not a question. So there cannot be an answer.
How do you divide a fraction into a fraction?
"Dividing Fractions is easy as pie, flip the second and multiply." Flip the second fraction, and multiply, and reduce.
