Ratios
What is a ratio?
A ratio shows the relative sizes of two or more values. Ratios can be shown in different ways:
- using the ":" to separate example values
- using the "/" to separate one value from the total
- as a decimal, after dividing one value by the total
- as a percentage, after dividing one value by the total
What is the Golden Ratio?
The number approximately equal to 1.618033989... The Golden Ratio is found when we divide a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part.
