Answer:
Add the ratio terms to get the whole. Use this as the denominator. 1 : 2 => 1 + 2 = 3.
Convert the ratio into fractions. Each ratio term becomes a numerator in a fraction. 1 : 2 => 1/3, 2/3.
Therefore, in the part-to-part ratio 1 : 2, 1 is 1/3 of the whole and 2 is 2/3 of the whole.

For example
24 and 56
24/56
24:56 = 24. 8×3. 3
---- = ------ = ---- = 3:7
56. 8×7. 7
always remember:
You can divide both numbers by the same number.
