oh ok thank you! :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the ratio of 3 to 4 can be expressed as the the fraction 3/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the ratio of 4 to 3 can be written as 4/3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so because 3/4 is not equal to 4/3, the two ratios aren't the same
