Ratio

-Ratio-
Ratio is a method used to compare things one to another.
Mostly,when ratio is used,the number of items are converted into simplest form.
For example,the ratio of Ken's money to John's money is 1:3.
This tells you,that John has 3 times more money than Ken.That means that if Ken has $5,John will have $5X3 which is $15.
To convert a ratio into a fraction,simply place the first number of a ratio as the numerator and the second,the denominator.For example,3:4 is 3/4(3 over 4).
Ratio is used for many things in life.
