No, unless the nomenclature is also switched around.

For example:

At a conference the ratio of tea to coffee drinkers is 4 to 7, ie for every 4 tea drinkers there are 7 coffee drinkers. 7 to 4 in this case would mean that for every 7 tea drinkers there are 4 coffee drinkers.

However, the ratio could be reversed by reversing the nomenclature; ie "the number of tea drinkers to coffee drinkers is 4 to 7" is the same as "the number of coffee drinkers to tea drinkers is 7 to 4" - in both cases the 4 is linked to the tea and the 7 is linked to the coffee.
