Ratios are a way to compare two numbers in terms of their relationship or proportion. The first number in a ratio reflects the amount that shows up for every second number. For example, in a ratio of 20:1, it means that for every 20 students in a school, there is 1 teacher. This ratio explains the rate of students to teachers. Another example could be if you bought 2 apples and 3 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges would be 2:3, indicating that for every 2 apples, you bought 3 oranges. Ratios help us understand and compare quantities in relation to one another.
