You mean someone bets 20 so now the pot is 140 and it cost you 20 to call correct?

Lets say you see the flop and decide you have 6 outs. That means 6 cards help, and conversly 41 cards don't help. Your ratio is 6:41. Divide both sides by 6, the ratio is also 1:6.8, round to 1:7.

The other way people do it is say 6 out of 47 cards help, so you'll catch your card 13% of the time. So the ratio is 13%:87%. Divide both sides by 13% and we get 1:6.7 (note it's off by .1 because of rounding errors).
