<p>I have a question similar to the one above, almost. I really don't understand ratios. I was lost on it all the way through Bio. SO would 7:3 be 70 to 30. You know like the probability problemss. Are they the exact same as fractions saying 7/10 . Or 7 something and 10 something equal a probability. See, I'm confused I hope I am not confusing you. Basically, what does the (:) colon mean in the equation problem?</p>
<p>where did the smiley come from? I was trying to put the colon mark in parenthesis</p>
<p>Sorry but Xiggi is confusing..I don't really get it!</p>
<p>Sometimes all you need is a pencil and a sheet of paper. You have to work through a problem to "get" it. </p>
<p>There are about five different solutions to the original problem, so there should be one that works for you.</p>
