Question

What are some good things to remember when you draw a diagram of a ratio?

Answer 1

Answer:

the order in which the ratio is drawn should be the same as listed.

Explanation:

What this means is that since a ratio compares the sizes of two numbers (eg 4:2 or 4 ratios 2 or $\frac{4}{2}$), it would be wrong to change the order of a ratio when drawn in a diagram.

For example,  changing the order to (2:4 or 2 ratios 4), which then  because $\frac{2}{4}$ not $\frac{4}{2}$. Hence, it is important to remember that diagram of the ratio of two or more quantities should be the same as listed.
