RATIO

A ratio shoes relationship between


quantities or terms. It is a mathematical
method of making comparison. A ratio tells
us how much greater or lesser one term is
in comparison with other term. In ration
calculations, the term are separated by
colon (: ) or a bar (___)
Here are the ratio comparing the number of marbles in the
left pocket to the number of the marbles in the right pocket:

Duard’s marbles 5:15


Erick’s marbles 20: 10
Josh’s marbles 20: 30
The ratio 8 to 12 is written as 8:12 or
8/12, both read as “8 is to 12”
A ratio is in its simplest form if the terms are whole numbers that
are relatively prime with each others.

Example: simplify the ratio 8:12.


The number 8 and 12 have a GCF of 4. Thus, divide each term
by 4.

8:12 = ÷ = 2:3
Difference of ratio and fraction. A
ratio represents two quantities, 1
against 2. It is written in a fraction
form by should still be read as “1 is
to 2”. A fraction represents a single
quantity.
The following expression denote rates.
Write them as ratios, then simplify them.

1. 190 km for 4 h
2. 81 km for 9 L
Write each expression using the same unit,
and then, write it as a ratio. Express the
answer in simplest form.
Example:

1 year to 4 months 1.15 minutes to 1 hour


12 months : 4 months 2. 6 hours to 1 day
3:1 3. 5 days to 1 week
4. 3 weeks to 30 days
5. 20 centavos to 1 peso
Write each quantity as rate and express it in simplest
form.

Fraction form Colon form


1. 25 boys to 30 girls ______________ _____________
2. 32 stars to 8 planets ______________ _____________
3. 24 pencils to 4 pencil case ______________ _____________
