Ratio is a way of comparing two or more quantities • Examples: • Number of RedSmarties in a box compared to Blue • Number of girls in a class compared to boys Ratio?
RED & BLUESmarties Blue : Red 6 : 3 2 : 1 6 BLUE 3 RED For example “The Ratio of BLUE to RED Smarties is 6 to 3 “The Ratio of BLUE to RED Smarties is 6
RED & BLUESmarties Red : Blue 3 : 6 “For every RED Smartie, there are 2 BLUES” 1 : 2 6 BLUE 3 RED …. Or… “The Ratio of RED to BLUE Smarties is 1:2” “The Ratio of RED to BLUE Smarties is 3 to 6”
In the Smarties example, we changed 6:3 to 2:1 • This is called Simplifying a ratio • We did it by dividing each number by 3 • 3 was the largest common factor Simplifying Ratios
8:2 18:3 4:8 5:25 5:2 4:1 6:1 1:2 1:5 5:2 !! Try to simplify these
“Bart and Maggie share a bag of 16 life savers in the ratio 3:1” This means “for every 3 life savers Bart gets, Maggie gets 1” 4 12 Sharing an amount in a given ratio
What is a ratio? Example: There are 300 computers and 1200 students in our school. What is the ratio of computers to students? A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. Express the ratio in words: 300 to 1200 Express the ratio with a colon: 300 : 1200 Express the ratio as a fraction: How many students are there for one computer?
What is an Equivalent Ratio? 1.There are 300 computers for 1200 students OR 2.There is 1 computer for every 4 students Express the ratio as a fraction: Equivalent ratiosmake the same comparison. Bring the fraction to lowest terms:
Practice With Equivalent Ratios Find an equivalent ratio by dividing: # 1 Divide by 30 # 2 Divide by 3 # 3 Divide by 25
Practice With Equivalent Ratios Find an equivalent ratio by multiplying: # 4 Multiply by 5 # 5 Multiply by 12 # 6 Multiply by 6
