• Words
Numbers
• Wins to losses
8 to 3
• Wins
8
• losses
3
• Wins:losses
8:3
All three ways are read “ the ratio of blank to blank. So 8:3 is read,
“the ratio of eight to three.

Ty’s Video Collection
Comedies=8, Dramas= 3 Cartoons= 2 Sci Fi=1
• Describe the relationship between the drama

• 3 to 1
• Analyze relationships:
• The ratio of floor seats to balcony seats in a
theater are 20:1. Does the theater have more
floor seats or more balcony seats. How do
you know?
Equivalent Ratios are?
• Equivalent Ratios: ratios that name the same
comparison or that have the same value.
Equivalent Ratios
• You can find equivalent ratios by using table or
multiplying or dividing both terms of the ratio
by the same number.
Multiply both terms by the same number.
• Ratio: 3 cats to 5 dogs
• You can write an equivalent ratio by
multiplying both terms by the same number.
• So multiply both terms by 2.
• An equivalent ratio would be
• 6 to 10
• 5
• 7
n
35
• N=
• What did you do to 7 to get to 35. You must
do the same to 5.
Some more equivalent Ratios
• Write me an equivalent ratio:
• 6:21
• 3

You try!
• Write a ratio to triangle
to rectangles in three
ways.
• Write me three
