Best Answer

Th first number should be the amount of something and the second number should be the total number of that thing OR the other thing your comparing it to.

ex.

345647517643717343- this is my number line.

I want to know: a)how many 7's there are compared to the total

b)how many 7's there are compared to 3's

a) the ratio would be 4:18 or simplified 2:9, 4 bing the amount of 7's and 18 being the total number of numbers

b)the ratio would be 4:4 or simplified 1:1, 4 being the amount of 7's and he second 4 being the amount of 3's
