Here are some tips for solving ratio and proportion problems: - Read the ratio correctly: For example, 2 pink to 6 red should be expressed as 2:6, not 6:2. - Note the units in your calculations - The ratio between two quantities should be of the same kind - When comparing two ratios, their units must be similar - If the ratios are equal like a fraction, then only comparison of 2 ratios can be performed - In ratio, if both the antecedent and the consequent are multiplied or divided by the same number (except 0) then the ratio will remain the same - Write the ratios in their three...
