Can be written three ways.See below<br />Let’s compare the number of boys in the class to the number of girls in the class and write it as a ratio. First find each quantity.<br />Number of girls9Number of boys11<br />Then write the comparison as a ratio, using the quantities in the same order as they appear in the word expression. There are three ways to write a ratio.<br />Written as a fractionWritten with a colonWritten with words11911:911 to 9<br />Now you try:<br />RatioWritten as a fractionWritten with a colonWritten with words1. lions to elephants 9 3 12 49:123:49 to 123 to 42. giraffes to otters 8 1 16 28:161:28 to 161 to 23. lions to seals 9 109:109 to 104. seals to elephants 10 5 12 610:125:610 to 125 to 65. elephants to lions12 4 9 312:94:312 to 94 to 3<br />VOCABULARYDEFINITIONEXAMPLERATEA comparison of two quantities that have different unitsof measure.UNIT RATEWhen the comparison is to one unit.<br /> 5 dollars10 dollars20 ounces90 ounces .25 .11 20)5.0090)10.00.25 dollars0.11 dollars1 ounce 1 ounceIt is a better ‘deal’ to purchase the $10 bottle.Which bottle of detergent would be cheaper?
