what does this ratio (1:5) mean?

1:5 is "one to five" or "one in five"

If these are Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, you should know that the ratio is 1 super rare per 5 packs, not 1 super rare per 5 cards.

So, on average, for every 5 packs, you should get 1 super rare card.

For ultra rares, this becomes 1 ultra rare per 12 packs.

5 To 1 Ratio

A ratio 3:15 is the same as a ratio of 1:5 ( 3/3 :15 /3), That means for every 1 part of something there are 5 parts of another thing. For example, in a bag of M&M's for every blue M&M there are 5 yellow M&M's.

to put it simply, 1:5 MEANS for every 1 of something, anything, there IS 5 of something else, say you have 12 pieces of fruit, for ever 1 apple there are 5 bananas, so in 12 there would be 2:10 in 5 there would be 1;5 i think you're probably making it more complicated than it really is, i do that myself but ratios are very easy, just look at it for exactly what it says ok?? that 'll help. if it's 10:1 and it's about winning ballgames?? for every 10 games only 1 win. see what i mean? email me if u need more help ok?? duhjen@hotmail.com :) i in college algebra so i know just a little bit :)

Yes, that means out of every five cards that you own you will find on super rare card supposedly...

yes every 5 u get 1`

Let s use dollars. for every $1.00 you spend you get a chance to win $5.00. So if you spend $2.00 you get a chance to win 10.00.
