Question

What is the ratio of fish to dinosaurs?

Answer 1

dinosaursThe ratio of two numbers is often separated with a colon. They can also be written as a fraction.

In this case, we have the ratio of a fish to a dinosaur.

This we can write as

`\text{fish : dinosaur}`

Therefore, if we write it out with the numbers of fish and dinosaur, we have

`10\colon3`

Since we cannot simplify that any further, the ratio of fish to dinosaur is 10 : 3.
