    Ratio and Proportion

    Uploaded by

    Gregorio Agda IV
    A ratio compares two quantities and can be expressed in three ways: as a colon ratio like 4:3, as a word ratio like "4 is to 3", or as a fraction like 4/3. Ratios can be simplified by reducing them to their lowest terms in the same way as fractions. Proportions are statements that two ratios are equal, and the value of an unknown term in a proportion can be found by setting the ratios equal and solving.

    WHAT IS RATIO?

    What is the ratio of red apple


    to green apple?
    RATIOS IS A
    COMPARISON OF TWO
    QUANTITIES.
    RED
    4:3
    APPLES
    From
    GREEN
    APPLES
    RATIOS CAN
    BE WRITTEN
    AS FRACTION.
    We can write ratio in
    three ways:
    4:3 Colon
    4 is to 3 Word
    4/3 Fraction
    Laila’s planted 12 fruit trees in the
    orchard. Of these trees, 5 are
    mango trees and the rest are apple
    trees.
    Let us compare the number of Mango
    trees to the total fruit trees
    planted in orchard.
    The ratio is

    5:12 or 5/12
    ALDEN’S ORCHARD
    RATIOS, LIKE
    FRACTION CAN
    EXPRESS IN
    LOWEST
    TERMS.
    In a classroom, there are 4 boys
    and two girls.

    4:2 In lowest term


    2:1
    Simplifying Ratio
    Ratio can be simplified in the same way as
    fractions are reduced.
    Example in a faculty room, there are 15
    tables and 10 chairs. Find the ration of tables to
    chairs.
    There are 18 red marbles and
    36 blue marbles.
    a. what is the ratio of red
    marbles to blue marbles?
    b. What is the ration of the
    blue marble to red marbles?
    c. What is the ration of red
    marbles to Total marbles?
    d. What is the ratio of the blue marble to
    the total marbles?
    Example:3
    Use ratio to compare the records of each
    school’s basketball team.
    School Wins Losses
    URS 8 12
    Rizal 6 10
    SES 9 15
    REMEMBER, RATIOS MUST
    EXPRESSES FIRST IN BOTH
    MEASUREENT AND UNIT.

    THE STATEMENT
    THAT TWO
    RATIOS ARE
    EQUAL CALLED
    PROPORTION.
    3:10 = 15:50
    MEANS

    EXTREMES

    *To prove that they are equal, cross multiply.


    Each has an answer of 150.
    FINDING THE TERM
    IN PROPORTION
    n:3 = 10:15

    *n is the
    unknown
    variable.
    STEP 1.
    Write the proportion in
    fraction form.
    n = 10
    3 15
    STEP 2.
    Multiply the extremes and then the means.
    Note that, we use the raised dot (.) for
    multiplication instead of x symbol.

    n = 10 15 . n = 3 . 10
    3 15 15n = 30
    STEP 3.
    Divide the left and right
    sides
    15n = 30
    n=2
    15 15
    To check, replace “n” with
    2, and then cross multiply.
    2 = 10 2.15 = 30
    3 15 3.10 = 30
    W M D
    write multiply divide
    Exercise
    Express the following ratios in lowest term.

    1. 5:20
    2. 12:4
    3. 6:18
    4. 1 hour to 120 minutes
    5. 9 days to 3 weeks
    Find the value of “n” in each
    following proportions.

    1. n:4 = 3:6
    2. 8:12 = 10:n
    3. 5:n = 1:2
    4. 3:7 = 24:n
    5. n:10 = 18:5
    The division of
    quantity to whole
    into two or more
    equal or unequal pairs
    is caleed partitive.
