Ratio shows the quantity of the relative 2 or more values. No, it would not be the same. The following example will answer your doubt:
There are 500 students in a class. 400 of them are girls, and 100 of them are boys. What is the ratio of girls to boys?
The are asking the quantity of GIRLS to BOYS, means that you will be writing the ratio of girls, and then the boys. If you write the other way around, it would be incorrect because you are not writing the answer as the question says. The ratio of girls to boys is [tex]400:500[/tex] after simplified it is [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
Hope this helps you!
Have a great day!
