f you have a ratio  3:1   where there are 3 parts of one thing to 1 part of another, you can change it to 3:4  (meaning 3 parts out of a total of 4 parts)  for the beef
or   1:4  for the ratio of pork to the total

this means you can say
1:4  as    x:3
where x is the amount of pork to use in 3 pounds total
