Ratios
Ratios are the relation between numbers, amounts, or degrees. Ratios compare two numbers. One could also use a ratio to compare one part to another part. Ratios can be seen by using fraction form, placing a colon between two numbers, placing the word “to” between two numbers, or by using a decimal.

Example: 3/2 = 3:2 = 3 to 2 = 1.5

To solve a ratio you need to find term 1 and term 2. The first number that comes in the sentence is term 1 and the second number is term 2.
