Understanding Ratio to Fraction Conversion

A ratio compares two quantities, while a fraction represents a part of a whole. Converting a ratio to a fraction helps express the relationship as a part-to-whole comparison. For a ratio A:B, the corresponding fraction is A/(A+B) if we want to represent 'A' as a part of the total 'A+B'. However, in this tool, we directly represent the ratio A:B as a fraction A/B, simplifying it to its lowest terms.

For example, if the ratio is 3:6, it means for every 3 units of the first quantity, there are 6 units of the second. Converting 3:6 to a fraction, we get 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. This simplified fraction 1/2 represents the same proportional relationship in its simplest form.

This tool is useful in various scenarios, from cooking and mixing ingredients to understanding proportions in mathematics and real-life problems. By simplifying ratios to fractions, it becomes easier to grasp and compare proportions.
