Want this question answered?
A fraction is a ratio of a part to the whole. Ratios can represent this or a part to another part, as well.
The two types of ratios are part-to-part ratios and part-to-whole ratios. A part-to-part ratio is when you divide two groups from each other and count them as seperate. For example: 5 yellow cars to 3 orange cars. The ratio would be 5:3. A part-to whole ratio is when you take a group from the two groups, and then add the group up. Then you add the other group. For example: 7 grey ducks and 9 brown ducks, the ratio would be 7:16. So a part-to-whole ratio is like an over all answer, except for the first group.
fraction and decimals are both have similarities because they both express part of a whole.
They do combine in whole number ratios, but these ratios need not be simple - particularly in some organic compounds.
Partitive proportion is the identification of the parts of a whole based on given ratios. It is often accomplished by adding up the ratios and dividing the whole with the sum.
Ratios are either a whole number to whole number or a part to a whole number e.g. 2:1, 0.72:4.

There are a bunch of ways of writing ratios. If you compare them to a part out of a whole it could be part out of whole, part:whole, orpart/whole. But if you are just comparing part to part, it could be part to part, part:part, or part/part. If this confuses you, just substitute the words with numbers, like instead of part you could write 4 and instead of whole, you could write 16. You can also reduce ratios so instead of 4 to 16, you can write 1 to 4 since both 4 and 16 are divisible by 4. Hope that helps you. ^_^ :)Thanks, this is, like the only place on the internet I could find that had the answer I was looking for. Thanks, this really helped! :) -User:Samally78

A part to part ratio considers and compares the probabilities of two different outcomes happening. For example, a part to part ratio could be HEADS to TAILS on a fair coin. The ratio is 1/2 to 1/2. Simplified, this is 1 to 1. However, a part to whole ratio compares the probability of one outcome occurring to the total possibilities possible. Consider the example of a fair coin. A part to whole ratio would be HEADS to ALL EVENTS POSSIBLE or 1/2 to (1/2 + 1/2) or 1/2 to 1 or simplified, 1 to 2
yes
Yes, some can.
No! they are not the same. Ratios are things being compared (part to part) and rates are timing (25words/min). !HOPES THIS HELPS!
Ratios are very important part of mathematics. They teach us how to deal with proportions.
