What does RATIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A relationship between two quantities showing how many times one contains the other, usually expressed as one number to another.
Ratio is a basic mathematical and everyday term used whenever two amounts need to be compared directly, such as the ratio of students to teachers in a classroom. It is normally written with a colon, as in three to one, and can apply to almost any pair of measurable quantities, from ingredients in a recipe to figures in a financial report. A ratio differs from a fraction in emphasis, since it compares two separate quantities rather than describing a part of a single whole.
How RATIO is used
Common in mathematics, science, finance and everyday speech wherever two quantities are compared.
- The recipe calls for a ratio of two parts flour to one part sugar.
- The class has a ratio of one teacher for every ten pupils.
- Investors watch the debt to income ratio closely.
- The ratio of wins to losses improved this season.
