In certain situations comparison  by division makes better sense than comparison by finding out the difference. Thus,       “ A ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the  same kind by division” Let us understand with an example. Example :1 Here are 5 kites and 7 balloons Figure.1 Solution :  The ratio of kites to balloons is 5 is to 7 or 5/7 or 5:7 Here 5 is the first term and 7 is the second term. The ratio of balloons to kites is 7 is to 5 or 7/5 or 7:5 EXAMPLE:2 Write the ratio of 13 puppies to 4 dogs in three ways Figure.2 Solution:      The ratio of 13 puppies to 4 dogs can be written as 13 is to 4 13:4 13/4 EXAMPLE : 3 There are 10 cows for every 18 hens in the farm.
