KEY CONCEPT Ratio A ratio is a comparison of two quantities, a and b, by division where b is not equal to 0. These quantities are called terms of the ratio. A ratio can be written in three different forms. Problem of the Day The distance from one base to the next on a softball diamond is 55 feet. The distance from one base to the next on a baseball diamond is 90 ft. Write a ratio that compares base-to-base distances on a softball diamond with base-to-base distances on a baseball diamond.
Write a ratio for each situation. Compare 7 pairs of yellow sneakers to 12 pairs of green sneakers. Compare 11 striped shirts to 3 plaid shirts. 25 Calories burned in 3 minutes.
KEY CONCEPT Equivalent Ratios Equivalent Ratios have the same value. To find equivalent ratios, multiply or divideBOTH terms by the same nonzero number. Multiply to form equivalent ratios Divide to form equivalent ratios Think EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS!!!
Like a fraction, a ratio can be written in simplest form by dividing both terms by the GCF.
