With your elbow partner: • What do you know about ratios? • When have you seen or used ratios?
With your elbow partner: • What is a ratio? • How many different ways can you write a ratio?
Definition: A ratio COMPARES two quantities (numbers). A ratio shows how much of one thing you have compared to something else.
Ratios can be written 3 different ways: a to b a:b a b All three are read as “the ratio of a to be”
For each of the statements your teacher reads out loud, write two ratios on your whiteboard.
For each of the ratios your teacher reads out loud, create an example on your whiteboard.

With your elbow partner: • What is an equivalent ratio? Create an example.
With your elbow partner: • How many different ways can you find equivalent ratios for: 2 boys to 3 girls
Class Discussion: • How many different strategies can we share?
Finding Equivalent Ratios: • equivalent fractions • multiplication • tables • tape diagram
Example #1 - Using Fractions The ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon is 5 : 3 . How much ribbon does Mel use if Shanni uses 45m?
Example #2 - Using Multiplication The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3. If Mason ran 8 laps, how many did Laney run?
Example #3 - Using Tables The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3. Use a table to list 4 more equivalent ratios.
Example #4 - Tape Diagram The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3. Use a tape diagram to find how far Mason ran if Laney ran 930m.
Example #5 - Tape Diagram In a bag of mixed nuts, the ratio of walnuts to cashews is 5 : 6. Use a tape diagram to determine how many walnuts are in the bag if there are 54 cashews.
Example #6 - All strategies On a test, the ratio of the number of problems Josie got incorrect to the number of problems she got correct is 2:9. If Josie missed 8 problems, how many did she get right?
