Speedometer ratio

[geezer#99]

I used a calculator.
Your speedo reads 36 mph high which means you need to slow it down 37.5%
37.5% of 96 is 36.
96-36 is 60.
What more do you need?

This is correct.

Big Dutch: It is a straight up ratio of one number related to another.

The fact that you are calculating vehicle speeds is immaterial. The math would be the same if it was a compression ratio, a cookie recipe or comparing your net earnings to your gross earnings.

The link geezer provided is the one I always use.
