6. GOAL 1: Computing Ratios If a and b are two quantities that are measured in the same units, then the ratio of a to b is a/b. The ratio of a to b can also be written as a:b. Because a ratio is a quotient, its denominator cannot be zero. Ratios are usually expressed in simplified form. For instance, the ratio of 6:8 is usually simplified as 3:4.

7. Example 1: Simplifying Ratios

8. Example 2: Using Ratios The perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 60 centimeters. The ratio of AB:BC is 3:2. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

9. Example 3: Using Extended Ratios The measure of the angles in ∆JKL are in the extended ratio of 1:2:3. Find the measures of the angles.

10. Example 4: Using Ratios The ratios of the side lengths of ∆DEF to the corresponding side lengths of ∆ABC are 2:1. Find the unknown lengths.

11. GOAL 2: Using Proportions

13. Example 5: Solving Proportions

15. Example 7: Solving a Proportion Estimate the length of the hidden flute in Bev Doolittle’s actual painting. (Note: in the photo, the flute is 1 7/8 inches long)

16. Feet to inches: 1 ft = ? in
Meters to centimeters m = ? Cm
Pounds to ounces: 1 lb = ? Oz
Feet per mile: 1 mi = 5280 ft
1mi = 5280 ft
