Th first number should be the amount of something and the second number should be the total number of that thing OR the other thing your comparing it to.

ex.

345647517643717343- this is my number line.

I want to know: a)how many 7's there are compared to the total

b)how many 7's there are compared to 3's

a) the ratio would be 4:18 or simplified 2:9, 4 bing the amount of 7's and 18 being the total number of numbers

b)the ratio would be 4:4 or simplified 1:1, 4 being the amount of 7's and he second 4 being the amount of 3's
