How do you write a ratio?

Back

A ratio can be written in three ways: using a colon (e.g., 3:2), as a fraction (e.g., 3/2), or in words (e.g., '3 to 2').

Front

What is an equivalent ratio?

Back

Equivalent ratios are ratios that express the same relationship between two quantities, even if the numbers are different (e.g., 2:3 is equivalent to 4:6).

Front

How do you simplify a ratio?

Back

To simplify a ratio, divide both terms by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, to simplify 8:12, divide both by 4 to get 2:3.
