Ratio?
Ratio is a way of comparing two or more quantities
Examples:
◦Number of Red Smarties in a box compared to Blue
◦Number of girls in a class compared to boys
For example
RED & BLUE Smarties
6 BLUE 3 RED
“The Ratio of BLUE to RED Smarties is 6 to 3
Blue : Red
6 : 3
2 : 1
“The Ratio of BLUE to RED Smarties is 6
…. Or…
RED & BLUE Smarties
6 BLUE 3 RED
“The Ratio of RED to BLUE Smarties is 3 to 6”
Red : Blue
3 : 6
1 : 2
“The Ratio of RED to BLUE Smarties is 1:2”
“For every RED Smartie, there are 2 BLUES”
Simplifying Ratios
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
Try to simplify these

Sharing an amount in a given ratio
“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”

Express the ratio as a fraction:
A ratio is a comparison
of two quantities.
300 to 1200
Express the ratio with a colon: 300 : 1200
1200300
How many students are there for one computer?
Equivalent ratios make
the same comparison.
What is an Equivalent Ratio?
1.There are 300 computers for 1200 students
Express the ratio as a fraction:
1200300
2.There is 1 computer for every 4 students
OR
