  1. Ratio Leslie Paytes 2009

  2. Ratio*- a comparison of two 
quantities using division # of pennies = # of nickles = Count the coins to compare the number of 
pennies to the number of nickles. *(The word ratio comes from the Latin word ratus which means 
"calculation." In the middle ages the word ratio was used to mean 
"computation.")

  3. Compare the number of pennies to nickles There are three different ways to write a ratio when 
comparing a part to a part... Pull Pull Use a colon between the two 
numbers 5:3 using the word "to" between the two numbers 5 to 3 Pull Pull All three are read 5 to 3 Pull Pull as a fraction 5/3 Move coins for more info!

  4. Suppose you wanted to compare 
the number of boys to girls in a 
class that had 15 boys and 13 
girls. The first quantity in this case 
the boys is always written first Move the 
Mathman to reveal 
the answer 15/13 15 to 13 15:13

  5. Notice with the same numbers 15 
boys and 13 girls, a comparision of 
girls to boys would yield an entirely 
different answer Move the 
Mathman to reveal 
the answer 13/15 13 to 15 13:15

  6. Suppose you wanted to compare 
the number of boys to the total number of students in a class that 
had 15 boys and 13 girls. The first 
quantity in this case the boys is 
always written first. add numbers to find total Hint! Move Mathman to 
reveal an 
additional way to 
write ratios 15/28 15 to 28 15:28 15 out of 28
