RATIO A ratio is a comparison of numbers by

division.

A ratio can be written with the word to, with a colon (:), or as a fraction.

Always reduce a ratio to lowest terms.

When a ratio is an improper fraction, DO NOT change it to a mixed number.

Setting Up Ratios: Steps

1. Read the problem carefully.

2. Pay attention to the order the question wants you to write the ratio.

3. Set up the ratio appropriately.
