Ratio to Fraction Calculator

In Maths, ratio to fraction is nothing but converting ratio into the simplified fraction form. There is a close link to the fraction and ratio. We can convey ratio to a fraction in 2 different ways. One is part-to-part ratio and another one is part-to-whole ratio. We will see one by one.

Part-to-Whole Ratio

Part-to-whole ratio is the relationship between the subset and the entire set. To convert ratio to fraction in the part-to-whole ratio, simply need to rewrite the ratio to fraction. For example ratio is a:b, and it is converted to a/b directly.

Part-to-Part Ratio

Part-to-part ratio is a subset of a set. If you want to convert ratio to fraction in part-to-part ratio, as the name itself says part-to-part, it will be converted to 2 different fractions. First, we will add both the numbers in the ratio, and then we will take that value as a denominator and then, each part of the ratio will become a fraction.

For example, if we take ratio as a:b then a+b = denominator(d), then we write as a/d and b/d and we will simplify them.

As we have seen the above definition, here we will discuss the step by step process to convert ratio to fraction. As we can convert ratio to fraction in 2 methods we will see both of them.

Method1: Steps for Part-to-whole ratio to fraction

• First, you need to see the ratio that has given in the problem.
• Next, change the same given ratio into the fraction.
• Then the fraction will be changed to its simplest form. Like wise part-to-whole ratio will convert to simplified fraction.

Method2: Steps for Part-to-part ratio to fraction

• First, you need to see the ratio that has given in the problem.
• Next, add the two parts of the ratio, we will consider that answer as denominator.
• Then, we will place that denominator below both the parts of the ratio to get fractions.
• So, in this part-to-part ratio we will get two fractions.
• At last, those two fractions will be simplified and it will be changed to simple fraction.

As we have 2 methods to convert Ratio to Fraction, Here we are going to show you examples for both the methods to understand easily.

Example for Part-to-Whole Ratio to Fraction

Question: Convert ratio 5:4 to fraction form?

Solution:

Ratio 5:4 can be converted in the fraction form as 5/4.

Example for Part-to-Part Ratio to Fraction

Question: Convert the ratio of 5 mangoes to 8 custurd apples in a fruit basket?

Solution:

Firstly, find the denominator by adding the parts i.e. 5+8 = 13

Now, put each part of the ratio above the denominator to get fractions.

Mangoes = 5/13

Custurd Apples = 8/13

Thus, in that fruit basket we have 5/13 of Mangoes and 8/13 of custurd apples.
