Visualizing the Ratio of 2 Given Numbers
(Note that we use the phrases "for every," "per," and "for each" to express
the relationship in
ratios.)
Comparing two quantities:
a) PART TO PART such as 13 girls in the class compared to 11 boys in the class
13
(13 to 11, 13:11, 11 , and we read: “For every 13 girls in the class, there are 11 boys.”)
b) PART TO WHOLE such as 8 red candies compared to the total number of candies in
8
he bag (8 to 23, 8:23, , and we read: “There are 8 red candies out of 23 total
23
candies.”) Mathematics 5
Example:
There are 3 girls and 5 boys playing soccer.
a) PART TO PART
(Remember: Girls are first mentioned in the question, therefore 3 comes before 5.)
(Remember: Boys are first mentioned in the question, therefore 5 comes before 3.)
b) PART TO WHOLE
(Remember: Girls are compared to the total number of players which is 8.)

Identifying and Writing Equivalent Ratios
What is Ratio?
Ratio compares quantities, numbers, or amounts of the same kind.

factor of 5. The ratio 8:11 is the same as the ratio
40:55.
We can make a strin nuing to scale up or to
scale down.

H - Ratio of 2:6 is equivalent to
. N - 10:20 equivalent to .
T - A ratio of 5:2 is equivalent to
A - 63:72 = :8
I - 8:16 is equivalent to 40:_ .
E - 32:14 is equivalent to .

To simplify ratios:
Use the same technique that is used to simplify fractions.
