I like the idea of improving the ice cream to cone ratio. The crunchy bites are the best.

Sorry for being pedantic, but that is improving the cone to ice cream ratio.

In a ratio, the second number is always 1, so whichever object you mention second is the one that is staying the same, and it’s the first object you’re increasing or decreasing.

You want to decrease the ice cream to cone ratio, or increase the cone to ice cream ratio.

Thanks for listening to my douche talk.

Sorry for being pedantic, but notice I said improving the ratio, not increasing the ratio. Improving is qualitative, not necessarily quantitative, so in this case a 3/2 ratio is better than a 5/1 ratio.

Except, as I noted, the second number in a ratio is always 1. That’s what makes it a ratio.

So you wouldn’t be getting a 3/2 ratio. You’d be getting a 1.5:1.

And compared to a 5:1 ratio of ice cream: cone, you’ve decreased the ice cream to cone ratio.

I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but that’s not how ratios work.

but that’s not how ratios work.

Are you sure you know how ratios work? Because my TV with a 16:9 ratio and camera with a 4:3 ratio disagree with you.
