3:1 Ratio
A "3:1 ratio" is a way to compare two quantities, showing that for every three parts of one quantity, there is one part of another. This means if you have three apples, you would have one orange, illustrating the relationship between the two items. Ratios can be used in various contexts, such as cooking, finance, or even in sports statistics.
In practical terms, if you were mixing paint and wanted a color that is three times more blue than yellow, you would use three parts blue for every one part yellow. This helps achieve the desired shade while maintaining a clear understanding of the proportions involved.
