ratio
How quantities relate
A ratio is a relationship between two quantities showing how many times one contains or is contained within the other, typically expressed with a colon or as a fraction: The ratio of teachers to students is 1:15.
Ratios are fundamental to mathematics, cooking, finance, and countless practical applications.
In internet slang, to ratio someone means to receive more engagement (likes, retweets) on a reply than the original post received, signaling widespread disagreement: That take got ratioed hard.
