First Thoughts …
There’s lots of differences between the
classes in our school –
… Some have more boys than girls
… Less Patriots fans than Giants fans
… More cat-lovers than dog-lovers
… Less pizza-munchers than chicken-dippers
Ratios
• Compare the number of boys to girls
in the class.
• The number of boys =
• The number of girls =
• If we compare boys to girls we get
___ boys to _____ girls.
What do we call a comparison
between two or more quantities?
RATIO
We just found the
RATIO of boys to
girls.
Is the ratio of
girls to boys the
same ?
No, when writing a ratio, ORDER matters.
Football Fans
Class A has 30 students:
Class B has 18 students:
10 Giants fans
20 Patriots fans

Jamie, a Giants fan, picked class A:
“10 is bigger than 9,
so there’s more Giants fans in
class A than class B.
Yey!”
Did You Pick class B?
A: 10
+ 20
= 30
B: 9

= 18

How many basketballs to footballs are there?
• For every 4 basketballs
there are 6 footballs.
• The ratio is 4basketballs to
6 footballs.
What are some other ways we
can write the ratio of basketball
to footballs?
Ratio can be written in 3 ways in number form:
4 to 6
First quantity to Second quantity
•
4:6
First quantity : Second quantity
•
4
6
•
First quantity divided by the second
quantity (as a fraction).
Careful!!
Order matters in a ratio.
4 to 6
Is NOT the same as
6 to 4
Write the ratio of sandwiches to coke bottles
3 different ways.
Since a fraction can be simplified, We can simplify the
ratio 6/8 to 3/4. The ratio of sandwiches to coke bottles
can also be expressed as 3 : 4 or 3 to 4.
In other words, ratios can be simplified to form
equivalent ratios.
Equivalent Ratios
• Simplify the following ratios:
– 4 to 8
– 10 to 8
– 8 to 10
4 = 4/4
8
8/4
=1
2
= 1 to 2
Equivalent Ratios can be formed by
multiplying the ratio by any number.
• For example, the ratio 2 : 3 can also be
written as
– 4 : 6 (multiply original ratio by by 2)
– 6 : 9 (multiply original ratio by by 3)
– 8 : 12 (multiply original ratio by by 4)
A bag contains 18 marbles. There are 8 yellow
marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 6 red marbles.
• Write the following ratios all three ways…
– Yellow to blue
– Red to total
– Total to blue
