Ratio to Fraction Calculator

In Maths, Ratio to a fraction is the conversion of ratio to the simplified fraction form. Usually, the ratio is a relationship between two quantities and more often represented as fractions. The ratio has two parts same as fraction numerator and denominator. Similarly, fraction defines the part of a whole.

For example, you are having a pie and it is cut into 8 slices of which 3 are eaten. If we want to know the ratio of slices eaten compared to the pie then it is quite simple to find the ratio, place the slices that are eaten as the numerator and the total number of parts as denominator i.e. 3/8. This is the simplest form of explaining the concept of Ratios.

If you are struggling with how to convert Ratio to Fraction you can check the below procedure. You can change the ratio to Fraction using two different methods and they are listed below. We will show you the methods on how to change ration to the fraction by taking examples and illustrating the work involved.

Part- to-whole ratio to Fraction

A part to the whole ratio is an expression of the relationship between the subset and an entire set. To convert part to the whole ratio you can simply rewrite the ratio as a fraction. Part A of the ratio is the numerator and Part B is the denominator. You can reduce the fraction after converting it if needed.

Example

Convert ratio 3:2 to fraction form?

Solution

Ratio 3:2 can be expressed in the fraction form as 3/2

Part-to-Part Ratio to Fraction

A Part-to-Part ratio is an expression of the relationship between two subsets of a set. A Part-to-Part ratio is converted to two fractions, each equivalent to the part-to-whole ratio for each of the subsets. To convert, you need to add both the ratios together and this remains the denominator for each of the fractions and represents the whole set. For each part of the ratio, create a fraction with the numerator being the first part of the ratio and the denominator is the sum you just found. The result is fractions that represent the proportion of the subset to the whole set.

Example

Convert the ratio of 1 orange to 3 Peaches in a fruit basket?

Solution:

Firstly, find the denominator by summing up the parts i.e. 1+3 = 4

Place each part of the ratio over the denominator to find the fractions

Oranges = 1/4

Peaches = 3/4

Thus, 1/4 in the basket are Oranges and 3/4 of the fruits in the basket are peaches.
