What is Ratio Formula?
As we already know that ratios are used to define the relationship between two similar quantities and it explains the amount of the first quantity contained in another quantity. Ratios are represented as, a:b and are read as “a is to b” but solving the ratio uses the ratio formulas which convert the ratio into fractions and then it is easily solved. The ratio formula which converts the ratio into a fraction is,
a:b = a/b
The image added below shows the ratio formula,
It is clear from the above formula that if a and b are individual quantities then the total quantity is given using the formula (a+b).
Ratio Formula
Ratios are an important concept in mathematics that is used to solve various numerical problems. It is another way of representing fractions and we define ratio using the ‘:‘ symbol. It is defined as the amount of an object contained in another object. Suppose we have two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ then we define the ratio between a and b as,
a:b and is read as “a ratio b” and its value is given as, a:b = a/b
As in fractions, we say ‘a’ in a/b the numerator, and ‘b’ the denominator. Similarly, in a:b we say ‘a‘ the Antecedent and ‘b‘ the Consequent.
Now, let us learn about what is ratio, ratio formulas including examples, and others in detail in this article.
