A ratio is solved by comparing the two quantities mentioned in the ratio. To solve a ratio, you need to find the equivalent ratio where the two quantities are in the same units. This can involve simplifying or scaling up the ratio to make the comparison easier.

How if the magnesuim is not polished would the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium be too high too lowor unaffected?

If the magnesium is not polished, there may be impurities or oxides on the surface that could affect the reported mole ratio of oxygen to magnesium. This could result in a higher reported mole ratio due to the presence of excess oxygen-containing compounds on the surface, leading to an inaccurate measurement of the actual ratio of oxygen to magnesium.


Is the ratio of two natural numbers always positive?

No, the ratio of two natural numbers can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the numbers being divided.


Is the ratio of two natural numbers always a positive?

No.Natural numbers by definition are whole: integers. However, if the numerator cannot be divided evenly by the denominator, or even if the numerator is less than the denominator, then it is impossible for such a ratio to result in an integer. Such ratios cannot simplify into natural numbers. (Note: This assumes that 0 is not a natural number--there is a disagreement over its membership. If 0 is considered a natural number, than any ratio with a 0 in the numerator but anything else in the denominator results in 0. A ratio with a nonzero numerator and a zero denominator is undefined. A 0/0 ratio is considered an indeterminate form and goes into calculus).
