ratios

Ratios compare two quantities to show their relationship, often expressed using a colon (e.g., 3:1) or as a fraction. They help us understand how much of one thing there is relative to another, such as ingredients in a recipe or the speed of a vehicle compared to fuel consumed. Ratios are useful for analyzing proportions, making comparisons, and solving problems by showing the relative sizes or amounts of different components. They provide a clear way to see how parts relate to the whole in various contexts.
