Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ratio?

A ratio is a mathematical comparison of two numbers, showing how many times one value contains another (e.g. A:B).

How do you solve a proportion?

In a proportion A:B = C:D, the product of the extremes equals the product of the means: A * D = B * C. Therefore, if one value is missing, you can solve for it by multiplying the cross values and dividing by the remaining value.
