You can do - it depends on the question. If I divide something between two people in the ratio of 2 : 3 the first one will get 2/(2+3) of the total.

This challenged the periodicity of his table, which was based on the repeating patterns of chemical properties.

What are the types of ratios?

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.
