Question

A ratio can be expressed as a _______________ description, with a _______________, or as a _______________. I need help filling in the blanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

A ratio can be expressed as a word description, with a colon or as a fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio can be expressed as a word description, with a colon or as a fraction.

Quantitatively, a ratio is a number representing a comparison between two named values. It is the relative magnitude of two quantities usually expressed as a quotient.

Thus, a ratio can be expressed as a word description between two quantities, for example:

four to five.

It can be represented with a colon. i.e  4:5

Or as a fraction i.e. $\dfrac{4}{5}$
