Ratios are the relations between two amounts which say how much of one thing there is to a another.
For example if i went a high street store and brought three dresses and then brought a pair of heels and wanted to know the ratio , what would i do?
The question would be presented like this:
what is the ratio between dresses and heels?
the ratio would be scaled as 3:2
3=the amount of dresses and 2=the pair of heels (because there are 2 heels in a pair)
A ratio can also be written in different ways:
such as using ':' to seperate the two values 3:2
OR instead of using ':' you can use the word 'to'
