GOAL 1: Computing Ratios
If a and b are two quantities that are measured in the same units, then the ratio of a to b is a/b. The ratio of a to b can also be written as a:b. Because a ratio is a quotient, its denominator cannot be zero.
Ratios are usually expressed in simplified form. For instance, the ratio of 6:8 is usually simplified as 3:4.
