Enter the value of the first unit and the value of the second unit into the Simple Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Simple Ratio. 

Simple Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Simple Ratio. 

SR = V1 / V2

  • Where SR is the Simple Ratio (V1:1)
  • V1 is the value of the first unit 
  • V2 is the value of the second unit 

How to Calculate Simple Ratio?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Simple Ratio.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the value of the first unit. 
    • The value of the first unit is given as: 4.
  2. Next, determine the value of the second unit. 
    • The value of the second unit is provided as: 5.
  3. Finally, calculate the Simple Ratio using the equation above: 

SR = V1 / V2

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

SR = 4 / 5 = .8 : 1

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

value of the first unit = 8

value of the second unit = 9

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

SR = V1 / V2 = ?
