Why Ratios Are Important

Ratios are used to compare quantities and understand their relative sizes. They are commonly used in mathematics, education, and everyday problem-solving to express how one value relates to another.

Understanding the Ratio Concept

A ratio compares two or more quantities of the same kind. It shows how many times one value contains another. Ratios are usually written in the form a : b.
