Ratios are either a whole number to whole number or a part to a whole number e.g. 2:1, 0.72:4.
> 1 to 3> 2 to 6> 264 to 792
to , : You can use them like this......... 1 to 3, 1:3 1,3

TYPES OF RATIOS 1:2 1 out of 2 1/2
Ratios are either a whole number to whole number or a part to a whole number e.g. 2:1, 0.72:4.
Ratios can be in any number of parts. For example, a fruit salad with apple, banana, mango and orange could have a ratio of apple : banana : mango : orange = 2 : 2 : 3 : 1.
They are ratios like 2 over 1 that would represent 20 gallons to 1 gallon sugar

> 1 to 3> 2 to 6> 264 to 792
The three ways to right ratios are... 1:2 1/2 1 to 2
Sure, you can write something like 1:2:5. In reality this is a shortcut way of writing three different ratios, like 1:2 (from the first quantity to the second), 2:5 (from the second to the third), which implies 1:5 (from the first quantity to the third).
The ratio you're given is in it's simplest form, meaning it can't be reduced any farther. To get equivalent ratios, multiply the numerator and the denominator (top and bottom numbers respectively) by any number you want. Just make sure you multiply both the top AND the bottom by the SAME number. Just to make it easy, three equivalent fractions for 11/12 are 22/24 , 33/36 , and 44/48 .
