Generically, a ratio is the comparison of two quantities that have the same unit and can be expressed with the help of $2 $ variables. Let us suppose that $x $ and $y $ are those two variables and they should be an integer then we can write them in fraction form as follows: \[ Ratio = \dfrac{x}{y} \] where $variable \space x\ =\ first \space quantity$ $variable \space y\ =\ second\space quantity$ By definition $1:1$ ratio is actually one of the portion or quantity of the whole substance. For more clear understanding let us take an example of $10$ liters of orange juice in two containers. Then we can write it as follows: \[Ratio \space of \space Orange \space juices = \dfrac{10}{10}\] \[Ratio \space of \space Orange \space juices= \dfrac { 1 } { 1 }\] which will be equal or can be written as: \[Ratio \space of \space Orange \space juice = 1:1\] Or let us suppose that we have spice jars in our kitchen and in the set we have $ 100$ grams of salt and $100 $ grams of pepper. Thus, we can write that the spices salt, and pepper are in a $ 1 :1 $. We can mathematically express these quantities as written below: \[Quantity \space of \space salt \space in \space jar=100\] \[Quantity \space of \space pepper \space in \space jar=100\] which will be equal or can be written as: \[Ratio \space of \space salt \space and \space pepper=\dfrac{100}{100}\] \[Ratio \space of \space salt \space and \space pepper=1:1\] Now for the same example let us suppose that we have different quantities of spices in jars and in the given set we have $ 30$ grams of salt and $300 $ grams of pepper. Thus, we can write that the spices salt and pepper are in a $ 1: 10 $. We can mathematically express these quantities as written below: \[Quantity \space of \space salt \space in \space jar=30\] \[Quantity \space of \space pepper \space in \space jar=300\] which will be equal or can be written as: \[Ratio \space of \space salt \space and \space pepper=\dfrac{30}{300}\] \[Ratio \space of \space salt \space and \space pepper=1:10\]Numerical Results
By definition, $1:1$ ratio is actually one of the portions or quantities of the whole substance when units are the same.Example
$1$ bottle has $6$ liters of pineapple juice while the other has $4$ liters of juice. Calculate the ratio of these bottles. Given in the question statement, we have: $1$ bottle has $6$ liters of pineapple juice. Another bottle has $4$ liters of pineapple juice. \[Ratio \space of \space pineapple \space juice=\dfrac{6}{4}\] \[Ratio \space of \space pineapple \space juice =\dfrac{3}{2}\] which will be equal or can be written as: \[Ratio \space of \space pineapple \space juice = 3: 2\]Previous Question < > Next Question
