It can be written two ways; for example, 1:10 or 1/10. Equivalent ratios (which are, in effect, equivalent fractions) are two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers.

This equation does not give us the value of the unknown factor but gives us a equivalent ratio between two unknowns.
