How This Tool Works

This ratio calculator helps you solve for a missing value in a ratio (A:B = C:D) and provides a visual representation of the ratio A:B. This is useful for scaling designs, recipes, or any other proportional relationships.

Ratio Calculation

The core formula used is `D = (B * C) / A`. The tool takes the three known values and automatically solves for the fourth, displaying the result in the disabled input field. All calculations are performed instantly in your browser.

Visual Representations

  • Pie Chart: The pie chart visually divides a whole into the two parts of the ratio (A and B).
  • Parts Bar: This bar shows the proportional relationship between A and B in a linear format.
  • Ratio Rectangle: A rectangle is drawn with its width and height proportional to the ratio A:B, helping you visualize aspect ratios.

Privacy Notice

This tool runs entirely in your web browser. No data is sent to a server, ensuring your calculations remain completely private.

Ratio Calculator: FAQs

How do I solve for the missing term in A:B = C:D?

If A, B, and C are known and A ≠ 0, then D = (B × C) / A. The calculator does this automatically.

What can I use ratio visuals for?

Scaling recipes or designs, understanding aspect ratios, comparing parts, and planning responsive layouts or print sizes.
