Part-to-part ratios compare different parts of a whole to each other.

Description

Part-to-part ratios are used to compare different parts of a whole, providing a way to understand the relationship between different components. This type of ratio is essential in fields such as statistics, biology, and economics.

For example, if a class has 10 boys and 15 girls, the part-to-part ratio of boys to girls is 10:15, which simplifies to 2:3.
