Hello, jaeminkim41
It's the relation (quantity relation) between two amounts, it shows "how many times"
the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one quantity contains the other.
For example, if you have 10 apples and 2 lemons, then the ratio of apples to lemons is 10 to 2 (10∶2, which is equivalent to the ratio 5∶1), so there is 5 apples for each 1 lemon.
