A ratio is something we use to describe the proportion between a set of numbers.

Example Question:

What is the ratio between the numbers 2, 10 and 24


You would first write it down as...


2:10:24


You would then find the greatest common factor (in this case, it is 2) and divide all the numbers by that common factor to get the ratio to it's simplest form...


2 / 2 = 1


10 / 2 = 5


24 / 2 = 12


1:5:12
