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.
For instance, a ratio of 3:4 can be represented as the fraction 3/4, indicating that for every 3 parts of one quantity, there are 4 parts of another. This understanding helps students work with proportions and apply mathematical reasoning in various contexts.
Teacher's Script: "If you have a ratio of 2:5, you can think of it as the fraction 2/5, meaning 2 parts out of a total of 5 parts."
