What does ratio mean when comparing two things?

It means that your comparing two things by using the amount. For example there's 5 dogs and 3 cats. The ratio would be 5:3, meaning 5 dogs to cats. You have to watch out the order the question puts it, whatever the way shows you have to do the ratio that way. Hope this helped:D


How do you find a proportion?

Well, it really is quite simple. The definition of proportion is finding two ratios that are equal. So for example, if the ratio of dogs to cats was 4:5 and there were 20 animals in total, and you needed to figure out how many dogs there are, then you would first have to figure out if it was a part to part or a part to whole. This is a part to part. Then you would write out your proportion- which in this case would be 4 = x For every 5 cats, there are 4 dogs, so you would find your answer. --- --- 5 20

There are 8 girls in a bus Each girl has 8 backpacks In each backpack there are 8 big cats For every big cat there are 8 little cats how many legs are there?

I would start by taking 8 girls by 8 cats, which equals 64 big cats. 64 big cats times 8 little cats is 512 little cats. That means 64 big cats and 8 people and 512 little cats. That is 576 cats and 8 girls. The 8 girls have 16 legs and the 576 cats have 2304 legs. That means that there are 2320 legs in all. That is plenty of legs. I wonder how the bus held so many? Or the back-packs for that matter.

THE ratio of cats to dogs at the pet store is 4 to3The pet store has 33 dogs How many cats are there?

Alrighty, your question is if the ratio of cats to dogs is 4 to 3, and there are 33 dogs, cats would equal 'x".Let's take a look at the information we have, and write it down:Dogs ratio = 3 number = 33Cats ratio = 4 number = x (this is our unknown)The way I would answer this question is that with Dogs, 3 multiplied by a number equals 33 (this information is given). So then since you have a ratio, to figure out how many cats, you take the answer from part one (about the dogs) and multiply it against 4 and viola! you would have the correct number of cats.(n is the magic multiplier number)(x is the solution to our original problem)Therefore: 3n = 33oh, an equation--let's keep the equation equal. therefore, you would divide out the 3 on both sides...3n/3 = 33/3The 3's on the left side, cancel out, and then you have 33/3 which is equal to 11.Or n = 11Super duper! we now have that magic number we were looking for to make the ratio!Doing the second part of the problem.Writing out our information we have: 4(n) = xLookie! Lookie! we have already figured and solved for n! that value is 11!Okaaay, let's substitute 11 for nnow our equation reads:4(11) = xso,44 = x
