Answer 11

I agree

Ratios are easy though you just need to be explained to

If I have 2 apples and 3 oranges the ratio of apples to oranges would be 2 to 3. There are different ways to write a ratio 2:3, 2 to 3, and one other I forgot O.o

All a ratio is, is a number compared to another if I would say whats the ratio of apples to the total number of fruit, you would add up all the fruit and apply it to the number of apples so 2:5
