What is a ratio and how does it relate to a fraction?
A fraction is a ratio of a part to the whole. Ratios can represent this or a part to another part, as well.
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.
How are ratios and fractions related?
fraction and decimals are both have similarities because they both express part of a whole.
Do atoms combine to form molecules in simple whole number ratios?
They do combine in whole number ratios, but these ratios need not be simple - particularly in some organic compounds.
What is a partitive proportion?
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.
Do all ratios compare a part to a whole number?
Ratios are either a whole number to whole number or a part to a whole number e.g. 2:1, 0.72:4.

What is the formula to proportions?
The formula to calculate proportions is: (part/whole) = (part/whole). This formula compares a part to the whole by setting up two ratios equal to each other.

How do you write ratios?
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

What is the difference between part to part and part to whole in math terms ratios?
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
What is a partitive proportion?
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.
Can ratios be simplified into whole numbers?
Yes, some can.
Do all ratios compare a parts of a whole?
yes
What is the same between rates and ratios?
No! they are not the same. Ratios are things being compared (part to part) and rates are timing (25words/min). !HOPES THIS HELPS!
