Ratios
What is a ratio?A ratio is a comparison of one quantity to
another.
For example if I were baking a cake and needed to have one part sugar to four parts
flour the ratio would be 1:4 or ¼.DON’T CONFUSE FRACTIONS WITH RATIOS
6.RP Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.

The difference between fractions and ratios
• If we were mixing oil for a two cycle engine it might call for a 1:50 ratio. This means for every one part of oil it would be 50 parts gas.
• For the sake of simplicity we will begin with a 1:4 ratio and say that the first number is oil and the second number is gas.
• How is a 1:4 ratio or ¼ different than saying that ¼ (fraction) or 25% of the gas oil mixture is oil?

Difference between fractions and ratios continued
• A 1:4 ratio means that there are 5 parts all together and one part is oil. It can be represented by ¼. This is why the context of the problem is important.
¼ as a fraction means that there are 4 parts and 25% of them are oil. If you mixed gas using a fraction model instead of a ratio would you have to much or to little oil in your mixture?

Extension
Little Red Riding Hood has a basket that holds eight eggs. 5 of them are brown and 3 are white.
1. What are all the ratios of eggs? Hint: Think about comparing all sets, brown, white and totals.
2. Change all the ratios to fractions, decimals and percentages using a table.
3. What does each decimal or percentage mean in relation to the context?

Things to consider
• What mathematical model would help me represent this?
• An area model?• A ratio table?
What is the relationship between between decimals and percentages?
What is the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages?
Discuss in groups before answering the question. Start with ½. How would you express it as a decimal and fraction? How does this help you to solve the Little Red Riding Hood problem?
