Mixing two things with 1 part of one to 2 parts of another is setting a ratio. The ratio of 1 to 2, or 1:2 will insure "good results" in the activity. If 1 pound of sugar is mixed with 2 pounds of flour, you'll have a 1:2 ratio. If you mix 2 pounds of sugar with 4 pounds of flour, you'll have that same 1:2 ratio. Ratio, or proportion as some call it, insures that a cook, baker or another individual combining ingredients to make anything will end up with the desired results at the end of the mixing operation. The ingredients will be in the mixture in the correct ratio or proportion.
