This document contains a series of ratio questions and answers. Richard Bull created a set of ratio problems asking to write the ratio between different groups such as cogs to plants, big stars to small stars, and beans to mud. The ratios given include answers like 3:5, 2:1, 1:2, and 4:8 that are then sometimes simplified further. It provides an example of simplifying a ratio of left handed to right handed people from 2:8 to 1:4.
