Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Ratios and fractions are both ways of comparing quantities, with fractions representing a part of a whole.

Description

Understanding the connection between ratios and fractions is crucial for solving problems involving proportions and scaling. Ratios can be expressed as fractions, providing a way to understand the relationship between quantities. A fraction is a part-whole ratio.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Ratios with fractions compare two quantities where one or both of the quantities are fractions.

Description

Ratios with fractions are essential in various mathematical and real-world contexts, such as cooking, where ingredients are often measured in fractions. Understanding these ratios allows for accurate scaling of recipes or other measurements. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar to 1/4 cup of butter, the ratio is 1/2:1/4, which simplifies to 2:1 by multiplying both terms by 4.
