Ratios and Proportions: Lesson 15

RATIOS:
●​ A ratio compares multiple numbers or quantities.
●​ It shows how much of one thing there is compared to another
●​ Can be written as:
○​ 3:2
○​ 3/2
○​ 3 to 2

PROPORTIONS:
●​ A proportion is an equation that shows two ratios are equal.
●​ When solving a question with proportions, we need to set it up in the
following format:
𝑎 𝑐
𝑏
= 𝑑
●​ Remember: The numerators and denominators must have the same unit
respectively (Can’t have apples in the numerator of one fraction and in
the denominator of another!)

UNIT RATES:
●​ A unit rate compares two quantities when one of the quantities is 1
●​ Always put the weight, price, distance, or time in the numerator.
●​ The bottom number is the quantity that you want to find the unit rate for.
