Answer 3

in class today we are learning ratios, and i dont really get it, i dont know how to solve them

Answer 4

Okay, ratios are basically fractions. They represent a portion to a portion. For example, let's say I have some cleaning solution. It need to mix in 10 cups of water per 1 cup of solution. I could make this as 10:1, or 1:10. I could even do 100:10, or 1000:100. Do you understand this?

Answer 5

got any specifics for it?

Answer 6

Juny has 4 blue marbles, and 6 red marbles.

Answer 7

Answer 8

4:6.

Its like saying

blue number: red number

Answer 9

Answer 10

This may help

Answer 11

But if it says

total of marbles to red what do you do?

4 + 6 (red and blue) : (just red) 6

Answer 12

so if a ratio is put to an angle how would i solve it to find the degrees?

Answer 13

Do you have a specific example I could use?

Answer 14

@song_of_the_sole if I give you $2 and give your sister $6, then she has $6 and you $2 :)

now, if I give you another $4 and your sister $12
or if I give you $6 and give her $18

notice, your sister is getting three times as much as you
so, the RATIO or proportion from her to you 3 to 1, that is
she gets three times more than you do
or a ratio of 3:1 or 3/1
