If the amounts are measured in different units you may wish to convert them to the same unit. This may not always be desirable or practical (see below). Then you just divide one of the amounts by the other. If the measurement units are the same then the ratio is a pure number. If not, it has a derived unit of measurement.
For example,
To work out a ratio of money, first identify the amounts you want to compare. For example, if you have $50 and $30, you would express this as a ratio of 50:30. Simplify the ratio by dividing both amounts by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 10, resulting in a simplified ratio of 5:3. This indicates that for every 5 parts of one amount, there are 3 parts of the other.

To split amounts into given ratios, first, determine the total number of parts in the ratio by adding the individual parts together. Then, divide the total amount by the total number of parts to find the value of one part. Finally, multiply the value of one part by each part of the ratio to distribute the amounts accordingly.
To divide the amount of 42 in the ratio 1:2:5, first, determine the total parts of the ratio by adding the numbers together: 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 parts. Next, divide the total amount (42) by the total parts (8), which gives 5.25. Finally, distribute the amounts according to the ratio: 1 part = 5.25, 2 parts = 10.50, and 5 parts = 26.25. Thus, the amounts are 5.25, 10.50, and 26.25.

The mole ratio is important in stoichiometry because it helps to determine the relationship between the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. By using the mole ratio from a balanced chemical equation, one can accurately calculate the amounts of reactants needed or products produced in a reaction based on the quantities of the other substances involved.
