Formula and Explanation

Ratio = A : B; scaled part = total x part / (A + B)

This calculator applies the formula Ratio = A : B; scaled part = total x part / (A + B). Enter each value with the matching unit, and AZCalculate updates the result instantly.

Variable descriptions

partA(parts)
Air: Air measured in parts, entered as a known value.
partB(parts)
Fuel: Fuel measured in parts, entered as a known value.
total(parts)
Total to distribute or scale: Total to distribute or scale measured in parts, entered as a known value.

Formula Notes

  • Use consistent units for values that are multiplied, divided, or compared.
  • Results may be rounded for readability, while the calculator keeps greater precision internally.
  • Real-world measurements and assumptions can introduce small differences from the calculated estimate.

Common uses

  • Scale a proportion
  • Compare two values
  • Split a total by ratio
  • Document a ratio-based result

Assumptions

What this calculation assumes

  • Vehicle estimates depend on fuel type, driving conditions, maintenance, tire condition, and local prices.
  • Performance calculations assume the inputs describe the same vehicle setup.
  • Inputs are assumed to describe the same scenario and use compatible units.
  • Results may be rounded for readability.

Avoid mistakes

Quick checks before you rely on the result

  • Mixing MPG US, MPG UK, km/L, and L/100km.
  • Ignoring vehicle weight, drivetrain loss, or real driving conditions.
  • Mixing units, periods, currencies, or measurement systems without converting first.
  • Rounding intermediate values too early.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Follow the reasoning, not only the final number.

  1. 1

    Set up the calculation

    Enter the known values in the calculator fields.

    Starting with clearly defined values and units prevents the most common calculation errors.

  2. 2

    Work through step 2

    Keep the units consistent with the labels shown beside each input.

    This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.

  3. 3

    Work through step 3

    Apply the formula: Ratio = A : B; scaled part = total x part / (A + B).

    This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.

  4. 4

    Interpret the result

    Review the primary result and supporting values.

    Compare the result with your real-world goal, such as scale a proportion.

Worked example

Practical air-fuel ratio calculator example

Known values

  • Air: 2 parts
  • Fuel: 3 parts
  • Total to distribute or scale: 100 parts

Calculation

  1. 1. Start with the known values shown for this air-fuel ratio calculator scenario.
  2. 2. Substitute those values into Ratio = A : B; scaled part = total x part / (A + B).
  3. 3. Evaluate the expression and keep the requested unit and rounding.

Result and meaning

A to B decimal ratio: 0.67 :1; Air share: 40%; Fuel share: 60%
