How to calculate the methanol to platinum ratio
Methanol to Platinum ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Platinum price per Troy Ounce
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Troy Ounces of platinum per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $1,887.05 = 1.516. The inverse is 0.6596.
