It means a comparison of two numbers, having the same units,
where one of them is 5 times the size of the other one.
A ratio of 5:5 is equivalent to 1:1.
60:12 is the same ratio as 5:1
I am not certain what you mean by "type." The golden ratio is the number (1+Sqrt(5))/2, and is thus a real, irrational number.
1:5 or 1/5
It is 5:1.
A ratio of 5:5 is equivalent to 1:1.
60:12 is the same ratio as 5:1
5/25 = 1/5 so it's a 1 to 5 ratio
It is [1 + sqrt(5)]/2 It is the solution to the equation 1/x = x/(1+x)
It is simply 5.
I am not certain what you mean by "type." The golden ratio is the number (1+Sqrt(5))/2, and is thus a real, irrational number.
it is the same as 1 to 5
1:5 or 1/5
1 is to 5
It is 5:1.
The ratio is 5 to 1 in its simplest form
Ratio refers to division, like difference refers to subtraction. So the ratio of 5 to 10 is 5/10 or "5 to 10" or "1 to 2", or sometimes "1 in 2". It means how much by multiplication or division some quantity relates to another.
