2. What is a Mathematical Ratio?

A ratio expresses the relative size of two or more values. For example, if a punch recipe calls for 2 cups of juice and 3 cups of soda, the ratio of juice to soda is 2:3.

3. Ratio Formulas & Scaling Methods

1. Simplified Ratio = (A / GCF) : (B / GCF)
2. Decimal Ratio = A / B
3. Scaled Value = A × Scale Factor
  

4. Step-by-Step Worked Example

Original Ratio	Greatest Common Factor	Simplified Output
12 : 18	GCF(12, 18) = 6	2 : 3

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do you scale a ratio for a larger recipe?

Answer: Multiply both numbers in the simplified ratio by your desired scaling factor (e.g. 2:3 scaled by 5 becomes 10:15).
