RATIOS
Writing, simplifying, and equivalent

2. Ratios Is a comparison of two quantities
There are three ways to write a ratio:
Example Statement- 6 cups party mix to 2 cups pretzels.
6 to 2
6 : 2 6 2

3. Equivalent Ratios Two ratios that name the same number
Find equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing each term by the same nonzero number.
Example-
4:6= 4 ÷ 2 and 6 ÷ 2 = 2:3
4:6= 4 x 2 and 6 x 2 = 8:12

4. Simplifying Ratios Divide the terms of the ratio by their GCF
Example- 8:12
GCF = 4
8 ÷ 4 and 12 ÷ 4 = 2:3
