Ratio, ratio tables, & equivalent ratios practice

What is a ratio?

• A ratio is a comparison of two quantities, showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other.

• A ratio is a mathematical expression that represents the difference between two numbers.

• A ratio is a method of calculating the average of a set of numbers.

How do you simplify a ratio?

• To multiply both terms by their least common multiple (LCM).

• To add both terms together and divide by two.

• To simplify a ratio, divide both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

• To subtract the smaller term from the larger term.

• By ignoring the existing ratios and making assumptions.

How do you write a ratio as a fraction?

• Place the first quantity over the second quantity.

• Multiply the two quantities together.
