A ratio of the following in three ways is:
1) 7:2 , 7⁄2 , 7 is to 2
2) 10:1 , 10⁄1 , 10 is to 1
3) 8:3 , 8⁄3 , 8 is to 3
4) 2:1 , 2⁄1 , 2 is to 1
5) 1:12 , 1⁄12 , 1 is to 12
6) 3:2 , 3⁄2 , 3 is to 2
7) 1:3 , 1⁄3 , 1 is to 3
8) 2:3 , 2⁄3 , 2 is to 3
9) 5:1 , 5⁄1 , 5 is to 1
10) 52:1 , 52⁄1 , 52 is to 1
A ratio is used to compare quantities. It indicates how much of one quantity there is compared to another quantity. Ratio can be shown in three different ways. It can be shown in colon form, fraction form and word form.
1) 6 weeks to 12 days
1 week = 7 days
6 weeks = 6 × 7 = 42 days
42:12
42÷6:12÷6 = 7:2
7:2 , 7⁄2 , 7 is to 2
2) 10 decimeters to 10 centimeters
1 dm = 10 cm
10 dm = 10 × 10 = 100 cm
100:10
100÷10:10÷10 = 10:1
10:1 , 10⁄1 , 10 is to 1
3) 4 days to 36 hours
1 day = 24 hrs
4 days = 4 × 24 = 96 hrs
96:36
96÷6:36÷6 = 16:6 or 8:3
8:3 , 8⁄3 , 8 is to 3
4) 4 months to 8 weeks
1 month = 4 weeks
4 months = 4 × 4 = 16 weeks
16:8 or 2:1
2:1 , 2⁄1 , 2 is to 1
5) 30 seconds to 6 minutes
1 min = 60 secs
6 mins = 6 × 60 = 360 secs
30:360 or 1:12
1:12 , 1⁄12 , 1 is to 12
6) 24 girls to 16 boys
24:16 or 3:2
3:2 , 3⁄2 , 3 is to 2
7) 12 mangoes to 36 fruits
12:36 or 1:3
1:3 , 1⁄3 , 1 is to 3
8) 2 years to 36 months
1 year = 12 months
2 years = 2 × 12 = 24 months
24:36 or 2:3
2:3 , 2⁄3 , 2 is to 3
9) 45 points to 9 games
45:9 or 5:1
5:1 , 5⁄1 , 5 is to 1
10) 468 students to 9 classrooms
468:9 or 52:1
52:1 , 52⁄1 , 52 is to 1
