Ratios are similar to fractions in that assuming you increase the second number of the ratio (going from 10 to 14) it is like making the bottom number in the fraction larger, so the overall result will be smaller. (1/10 going to 1/14).
Say you were making a model of a real boat. If the real boat was 10 meters long, your model would be 1 meter long if the ratio of model:real boat was 1:10. The model would be 1/10th the size of the real boat.
If you wanted to change the scale of the model to 1:14, the model would be smaller. The real boat is still 10 meters long, but your model would be 1/14th the size of the boat, or about 0.7 meters (10 meters / 14).
In general you would want to take the first number of the ratio (in my example 1) and multiply by 10 and divide it by 14.
e.g.
If you wanted to change the scale 3:10 to 3:14
(3 * 10) / 14

How would you scale down 10 boys to 14 girls to find the equivilent ratios?
You have to divide 10 and 14 by the same number to get your ratio. Example: 10 divided by 2= 5 & 14 divided by 2=7 so your ratio would be 5/7 or 5 to 7
How would you scale up 10 boys to 14 girls to find equivilent ratios?
Multiplying both 10 and 14 by the same number will always mean that the result is the same ratio. 10 x 2 = 20 and 14 x 2 = 28 ...... 20:28 is the same ratio as 10:14 10 x 10 = 100 and 14 x 10 = 140 ...... 100:140 is the same ration as 10:14 This can be done with any number being the multiplier.
