Ratio
A ratio is the comparison of
two whole numbers.
Ratio
Example:
Your school’s basketball team has won 7 games and
lost 3 games. What is the ratio of wins to losses?
Because we are comparing wins to losses the first
number in our ratio should be the number of wins
and the second number is the number of losses.

Write the ratio 3 yards to 12 feet in simplest form.
First convert yards to feet.
3 yards = 3 ● 3 feet
= 9 feet
There are 3 feet in a yard.
Multiply.
Now write the ratio.
3 yards = 9 feet
12 feet
12 feet
=

Example #2: finding COMMON DENOMINATOR
before comparing
Are the ratios equivalent?
?
Since 7 is a factor of
14 it is easy to find a
common denominator
and then compare
the numerators.
?
So,
are equivalent.

Equivalent ratios = equal ratios
Example #3: finding COMMON DENOMINATOR

Are the ratios equivalent?
?
?
Since 6 is a factor of
48 it is easy to find a
common denominator
and then compare
the numerators.
So,
are NOT
equivalent.
