The ratio 2 to 5 will be different from the ratio 5 to 2 if they both represent the ratio of cats to dogs.
In the ratio 2 to 5 it will simply mean that for every 2 cats there are 5 dogs. While the ratio 5 to 2 means that for every 5 cats there are 2 dogs.
Interchanging the values of ratio 2 and 5 will mean differently unless the value is 1.
