RATIOS

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division.

Ratios may be written either with a fraction bar or with a colon (x:y) or with English terms (ratio of x to y). We
recommend the first way, since ratios can be treated as fractions for the purposes of computation.

Ratios can (and in most cases, should) be reduced to lowest terms just as fractions are reduced.
