Best Answer

Divide the first ratio by the second.

If the answer is less than 1 then the first ratio is smaller.

If the answer is equal to 1 then the two ratios are equal.

If the answer is greater than 1 then the first ratio is larger.

A ratio that compares two quantities by division?

not exactly division. Say the ratio of male to female is 1.2 : 1 in China. I am not trying to divide the number of male by the number of female; I am using a colon (:), not a forward slash (/), to express a ratio. What I am trying is to compare the male population to the female. Compare is the key. The second number is, in majority of the cases, the number one, giving the illusion of a division. But 3 : 2 or 6:5 is a ratio too.

What does ratio mean in math?

Ratio refers to division, like difference refers to subtraction. So the ratio of 5 to 10 is 5/10 or "5 to 10" or "1 to 2", or sometimes "1 in 2". It means how much by multiplication or division some quantity relates to another.


Why is division used to compare two numbers in a ratio?

Division is used to simplify the ratio (reduce it, put it into simplest terms). This gives you a direct (and usually small) perspective of the ratio, so can visualize it easier and understand it better.
