Yes, the order of terms in a ratio matters because it indicates the relationship between the two quantities. Unlike a fraction, which represents division and can be reversed without changing the value (e.g., 1/2 is the same as 0.5), a ratio conveys a specific comparison. For example, a ratio of 2:3 implies a different relationship than 3:2, representing distinct proportions between the two quantities.
Any two ratios, provided the second is not 0, form a proportion.
No, they are not equivalent ratios. To make them equivalent, The second one should be 16 to 8.
First: "were 2 ratios are equal" is a statement that does not make sense. Second: Even if it did, it is a statement, not a question. So there cannot be an answer.
Because division by a number (the second fraction) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
It is 2 ounces or, if you must, 2/1 ounces. If you want it as a fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity. It should be blindingly obvious to anybody that 2 ounces, as a fraction of 1 pound, will be quite different to 2 ounces as a fraction of a ton!
Ratios can be expressed as fractions. For example 1:7 can be written 1/7. Just as a fraction can be converted into an equivalent fraction by multiplying (or dividing) both the numerator and denominator by the same number then the same process can be applied to ratios. To compare two ratios then convert either the first or second number of the ratio so that both ratios have the same number. A direct comparison can then be made. EXAMPLE : 3:7 compared to 334 :777 If the figures in the first ratio are multiplied by 111 this makes the second number in both ratios the same. Then 3:7 is equivalent 333:777 which is not equal to 334:777 Equally, The second number in the second ratio could be divided by 111 in which case the comparison would then become 334:777 is equivalent to 3.009:7 which is not 3:7.
When dividing fractions with different denominators, first, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. To do this, you switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. After that, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to simplify the result. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Rates are applicable to two variables and the second one is usually rescaled to 1. Ratios may be for several variables simultaneously and all of the components may be greater than 1.

When dividing fractions, the denominators don't matter. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. That is, flip the second fraction over and then multiply the two.
Any two ratios, provided the second is not 0, form a proportion.
It could be as little as just over zero (from a fraction of a second before noon to a fraction of a second after) to as much as 12 hours (from a fraction of a second after midnight to a fraction of a second after noon).
To write ratios of fractions as unit rates, first express the ratio as a single fraction by dividing the two fractions. This can be done by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Once converted into a single fraction, simplify it to find the unit rate, which shows how much of one quantity corresponds to one unit of another. This method helps to solve problems by providing a clear comparison between the two quantities involved.
No, they are not equivalent ratios. To make them equivalent, The second one should be 16 to 8.
"Dividing Fractions is easy as pie, flip the second and multiply." Flip the second fraction, and multiply, and reduce.
