1 If you know the ratio of students to teachers is 3 to 2 and you know there are 12 teachers, is there a way to figure out the number of students?

2 In this lesson you will learn to solve for missing values in a ratio problem by setting up a double number line.

3 Let’s Review A ratio can have equivalent ratios just like a fraction can have equivalent fractions. 2 : 1 x3 x3 6 : 3

4 A Common Mistake The ratio of students to teachers is 5 to 1. There are 15 teachers. 5 1 wrong line! students teachers 15 ?

9 Guided Practice Anita collects shells and stones in a ratio of 2 : 1. If she has a total of 8 shells, how many stones does she have?

10 Extension Activities 1 15 3 10 5 students teachers 1 3 5 8 12 16 Fill in the missing values of the double number line. Write a paragraph explaining what ratio properties were used to create and fill in the lines.

11 Extension Activities Annie bakes cookies and cupcakes in a ratio of 4 to 3 for her gift boxes. Her school needs 35 desserts to sell in a bake sale. How many cupcakes will she bake? How many cookies will she bake? Create an illustration and a table to support your work.
