How does it solve a proportion?
It cross-multiplies — for A : B = C : D, the missing value is found so that A × D equals B × C.
Can it simplify a ratio?
Yes — enter A and B and it reduces the ratio to its lowest whole-number terms using the greatest common divisor.
What can I use ratios for?
Scaling recipes, mixing solutions, map and model scales, aspect ratios, and converting quantities proportionally.
