Easy answer. It's ratio. Simple mathmatics. You take something that is 11 parts and squeeze it into 1 part. Then you yield an 11:1 ratio. Take from 12 parts compress to 1 and then you have 12:1. Thats just simple way of explaining it. I recommend taking an auto course. Or searching on the net. I can explain the exact working of compression ratio and how it affects the way your car runs but that would take all day. GOOD LUCK
