Overview
A ratio is a way to compare two or more quantities by showing how many times one value is contained within another. It tells us the relative size of two or more values. Ratios are often used in problems involving mixtures, rates, proportions, and real-world comparisons.
For example, if you have 2 apples and 3 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 2 : 3. It tells us that for every 2 apples, there are 3 oranges.
