A ratio is a comparison of two or more numbers.
Examples of ratio measurement are length, weight, age, salary, etc.
The exams are machine-graded. The data can be ordered from lowest to highest: 20, 68, 80, 92. The differences between the data values hold meaning. The score of 92 is greater than 68 by 24 points. Therefore, ratios can be calculated. For example, 80 is four times 20.
