    Ratio and Proportion

    Uploaded by

    Ratio compares the relative sizes of parts or quantities to each other. A ratio expresses the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other. Ratios can be simplified by dividing each part by the highest common factor. Proportion compares the size of a part to the size of a whole and can be expressed in multiple ways such as a fraction, decimal, or percentage that represents the quantity of a part compared to the total. Direct proportion problems involve quantities that change at the same rate, so doubling one value will result in doubling the other.

    Ratio

    and
    Proportion
    Ratio

    A ratio compares the sizes of parts or quantities to each other.

    What is the ratio of red counters to


    blue counters?

    red : blue

    =9:3

    =3:1
    For every three red counters there is one blue counter.
    Ratio

    Ratio is the spoken language of arithmetic. It is a


    way of comparing two or more quantities having
    the same units – the quantities may be separate
    entities, or they may be different parts of a
    whole.

    What is the ratio of red counters


    to yellow counters to blue
    counters?

    red : yellow : blue

    = 12 : 4 : 8

    = 3 : 1 : 2

    For every three red counters there is one yellow counter and two blue counters.
    Simplifying ratios

    Ratios can be simplified like fractions by dividing each part by the highest common
    factor.

    21 : 35
    ÷7 ÷7
    =3:5

    For a three-part ratio all three parts must be divided by the same number.

    6 : 12 : 9
    ÷3 ÷3
    =2:4:3
    Dividing in a given ratio

    Divide Php40 in the ratio 2 : 3.

    A ratio is made up of parts.

    We can write the ratio 2 : 3 as:

    2 parts : 3 parts

    The total number of parts is:

    2 parts + 3 parts = 5 parts

    We need to divide Php40 by the total number of parts.

    Php40 ÷ 5 = Php8
    Proportion

    Proportion compares the size of a part to the size of a whole.

    There are many ways to express a proportion.

    What proportion of these counters


    are red?

    We can express this proportion as:

    3
    12 out of 16 3 in every 4 0.75 or 75%
    4
    Direct proportion problems

    3 packets of crisps weigh 90 g.


    How much do 6 packets weigh?

    3 packets weigh 90 g.

    ×2 ×2
    6 packets weigh 180 g.

    If we double the number of packets then we double the weight.

    The number of packets and the weights are in direct proportion.
