Ratio is the comparison of two amounts. Ratio is always expressed as (Numeral):(When said in normal conversations,it is defined as "is to")(Numeral). An example of how ratio is used.
I have 10 apples. John has 50 apples. Express this statement as a ratio.
I : John=
10 : 50 which can be further simplified into
1 : 5(1 is to 5)
Remember, always leave your answer in the simplest form, just like fractions. Ratio,when used to do problem sums, is a very effective method as it can be manipulated to suit different questions. I will share with you more on these methods in later posts.
