Who first recognized that the ratio of the number of atoms is the same as the ratio of the masses that combine?
The first person to recognize the total ratio of the number atoms is the same as the total ratio of the ratio of the mass is JOHN DALTON.This is also called the "Law of Multiple Proportion"
How many blue counters must be added so that the ratio of yellow counters to total counters is 1 to 6?
Let the number of Yellow counters you already have is Y Let the number of non-yellow counters you already have is Z Then the current ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z Let the number of Blue counters you add be B After they have been added, the ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z + B This is 1 : 6 Thus Y = 1 and Y + Z + B = 6 → Z + B = 5 Which means that for the Yellow counters you have you will have five times as many counters made up of whatever non-Yellow counters you originally had plus the Blue counters you added. Thus to find out how many Blue counters to add, take the number of Yellow counters, multiply it by 5 and subtract the number of non yellow counters you originally had. examples: You had 6 Yellow counters Add 6 × 5 - 0 = 30 Blue counters Which gives you 6 Yellow and 30 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 6 : 30 + 6 = 6 : 36 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow counters and 6 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - 6 = 14 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 6 Red counters and 14 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 6 + 14 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow Counters, 2 Blue counters and 3 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - (2 + 3) = 15 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 3 Red counters and 2 + 15 = 17 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 3 + 17 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6

the ratio of the number favorable outcomes to the total number of trials.
What is the boy-girl ratio in the class was 5 to 4 If there were 27 students how many boys were there?
number of boys = ratio of boys x total strength / total ratio = 5 x 27/9 = 5 x 3 = 15 number of girls = ratio of girls x total strength / total ratio = 4 x 27/9 = 4 x 3 = 12 verification: 15 + 12 = 27
What is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the total number of possible outcomes?
If each of the ways is equally likely then it is the probability of the event but otherwise it is simply a ratio.
