What a ratio tells you

A ratio compares quantities in parts. In 3:2 there are five parts in total, so the first quantity is three-fifths of the whole and the second is two-fifths. Every answer on SnapRatios comes from the same calculation engine, so the simplified form, the percentages and the split of a total always agree.
