In this lesson, you will learn what a ratio is and why we use ratios in math. You will also learn how to represent a ratio as a fraction and also how to write a ratio in colon notation. A ratio is a comparison between two numbers. A proportion is when two ratios are equal to one another. For example, if we have a room with 10 boys and 5 girls, we might write the ratio of boys to girls as 10:5, or as a fraction, 10/5. We can then simplify this ratio just like we simplify any fraction down to the simplest ratio, 2/1 in this case. This ratio indicates that in this room there are 2 boys for every 1 girl. We use ratios in all math subject areas to solve a wide variety of problems.

    I just got your app because I’m trying to study astrophysics and there’s so much math involved. I’m literally starting from 8th grade math to remember and LEARN things my middle and high school teachers failed to. Thank you so much for being great at teaching!
