What are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

What is a ratio?

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers that shows how many times one value is contained within another. For example, the ratio 3:1 means there are 3 parts of one quantity for every 1 part of another.
