    Quick question on ratio?

    I am having a hard time figuring out the correct function for ratio for this problem. I need to find the "length to width" ratio for something, with length being in cell E9 and width being in cell F9. I have done research and all of the functions I have entered come out wrong in comparison to the image I have to mock. It comes out at a ratio, such as 1:1, where as the image shows the ratio of cell E9 to F9 to be 1.24. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks!

    If
    E9: 124
    F9: 100

    This formula returns 1.24
    G9: =E9/F9

    Unless, maybe you want to show that value as a ratio. In that case:
    • Select G9
    • CTRL+1...Number_Tab
    ...Category: Custom
    ...Type: #.#\:1
    ...Click: OK

    G9 will display as 1.24:1

    Does that help?
