In what form do you usually see ratios?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly. And which are most closely related to what a fraction is? addition subtraction division multiplication ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly. ^_^ Ratios are almost always division. Occasionally multiplication, but then again, division and multiplication are technically the same thing. But it's never addition or subtraction (there's no way to keep a ratio with adding or subtracting)
