a) Given:  Cost of one-ounce letter =46  Cost of two-ounce letter =66  Concept used:  Ratio is a quotient of two quantities. It  provides a way to compare the number and quantities.  Calculation:  Ratio=cost of one-ounce letter: cost of two-ounce letter  =46:66  =23:33  Conclusion:  Ratio =23:33  b) Given:  Cost of one-ounce letter =46  Cost of two-ounce letter =66  Concept used:  Ratio as some quantity to 1 are generally called as gear ratios. If we divide both term of the ratio by the second term, we will get the ratio of some number to 1.  Calculation:  Ratio=cost of one-ounce letter: cost of two-ounce letter  =46:66  =0.69  The gear ratio is 0.69:1. Gear ratios are generally given by some quantities to 1. If we divide both the terms of the ratio by then, we will obtain, a ratio of some number to 1. dividing both 46 and 66 gives the gear ratio of 0.69:1.  Conclusion:  The ratio as some quantity to 1 is 0.69:1.
