Voltage Divider
Voltage Divider No Load
The voltages are proportional to the resistances.
Vout = Vin * (R2 / (R1 + R2)) Vin = Vout * ((R1+R2)/R2)

Picking a value for R1 and R2
Assume you have a restive sensor to test. Out of circuit you would test the sensor to determine its minimum resistance and maximum resistance. Then pick
R2 = sqrt (Rmin * Rmax)
