Ratio
A comparison of two quantities by division, written 3:4, 3/4, or '3 to 4'; ratios can compare part to part or part to whole.
Ratios scale like fractions — multiply or divide both terms by the same number. To split a total in a given ratio, add the ratio parts to find the number of shares, divide the total by that sum, then multiply back out.
