Do you know what the ratio of 4:1 part means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe so

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OK, then where are you haveing trouble?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that they r represented as fractions and as colons

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, this type of ratio is four to one. So four parts on one side, one part on the other. So you have \(\frac{4}{5}\) on one side and \(\frac{1}{5}\) on the other.
