Ratio
A ratio compares the sizes of parts or quantities to each other.
For example,
What is the ratio of red counters to blue counters?
red : blue
= 9 : 3
= 3 : 1
For every three red counters there is one blue counter.

Ratio
A ratio compares the sizes of parts or quantities to each other.
The ratio of blue counters to red counters is not the same as the ratio of red counters to blue counters.
blue : red
= 3 : 9
= 1 : 3
For every blue counter there are three red counters.
For example,
What is the ratio of blue counters to red counters?

What is the ratio of red counters to yellow counters to blue counters?
Ratio
red : yellow : blue
= 12 : 4 : 8
= 3 : 1 : 2
For every three red counters there is one yellow counter and two blue counters.

Simplifying ratios
Ratios can be simplified like fractions by dividing each part by the highest common factor.
For example,21 : 35
= 3 : 5÷ 7 ÷ 7
For a three-part ratio all three parts must be divided by the same number.
For example,6 : 12 : 9
= 2 : 4 : 3÷ 3 ÷ 3

When a ratio is expressed in different units, we must write the ratio in the same units before simplifying.
Simplify the ratio 90p : £3
First, write the ratio using the same units.
90p : 300p
When the units are the same we don’t need to write them in the ratio.
90 : 300÷ 30 ÷ 30
= 3 : 10

Simplify the ratio 0.6 m : 30 cm : 450 mm
First, write the ratio using the same units.
60 cm : 30 cm : 45 cm
60 : 30 : 45
÷ 15 ÷ 15
= 4 : 2 : 3

When a ratio is expressed using fractions or decimals we can simplify it by writing it in whole-number form.
Simplify the ratio 0.8 : 2
We can write this ratio in whole-number form by multiplying both parts by 10.
0.8 : 2
= 8 : 20
× 10 × 10
÷ 4 ÷ 4
= 2 : 5

Simplifying ratios containing fractions
Simplify the ratio : 4 23
We can write this ratio in whole-number form by multiplying both parts by 3.
23 : 4
× 3 × 3
= 2 : 12
÷ 2 ÷ 2
= 1 : 6

Comparing ratios
We can compare ratios by writing them in the form 1 : m or m : 1, where m is any number.
For example, the ratio 5 : 8 can be written in the form 1 : m by dividing both parts of the ratio by 5.
5 : 8÷ 5 ÷ 5
= 1 : 1.6
The ratio 5 : 8 can be written in the form m : 1 by dividing both parts of the ratio by 8.
5 : 8÷ 8 ÷ 8
= 0.625 : 1

Comparing ratios
The ratio of boys to girls in class 9P is 4:5.The ratio of boys to girls in class 9G is 5:7.Which class has the higher proportion of girls?
The ratio of boys to girls in 9P is 4 : 5÷ 4 ÷ 4
= 1 : 1.25
The ratio of boys to girls in 9G is 5 : 7÷ 5 ÷ 5
= 1 : 1.4
9G has a higher proportion of girls.

Dividing in a given ratio
A ratio is made up of parts.
We can write the ratio 2 : 3 as
2 parts : 3 parts
The total number of parts is
2 parts + 3 parts = 5 parts
Divide £40 in the ratio 2 : 3.
£40 ÷ 5 = £8
We need to divide £40 by the total number of parts.
© Boardworks Ltd 200420 of 47
Dividing in a given ratio
Divide £40 in the ratio 2 : 3.
Each part is worth £8 so
2 parts = 2 × £8 = £16
and 3 parts = 3 × £8 = £24
£40 divided in the ratio 2 : 3 is
£16 : £24
Always check that the parts add up to the original amount.
£16 + £24 = £40

Dividing in a given ratio
A citrus twist cocktail contains orange juice, lemon juice and lime juice in the ratio 6 : 3 : 1.How much of each type of juice is contained in 750 ml of the cocktail?
First, find the total number of parts in the ratio.
6 parts + 3 parts + 1 part = 10 parts
Next, divide 750 ml by the total number of parts.
750 ml ÷ 10 = 75 ml

Dividing in a given ratio
A citrus twist cocktail contains orange juice, lemon juice and lime juice in the ratio 6 : 3 : 1.How much of each type of juice is contained in 750 ml of the cocktail?
Each part is worth 75 ml so,
6 parts of orange juice = 6 × 75 ml = 450 ml
3 parts of lemon juice = 3 × 75 ml = 225 ml
1 part of lime juice = 75 ml
Check that the parts add up to 750 ml.
450 ml + 225 ml + 75 ml = 750 ml

Proportion
There are many ways to express a proportion. For example,
We can express this proportion as:
12 out of 16 3 in every 434
0.75 or 75%
Proportion compares the size of a part to the size of a whole.
What proportion of these counters are red?

Direct proportion problems
3 packets of crisps weigh 90 g.How much do 6 packets weigh?
3 packets weigh 90 g.× 2
6 packets weigh× 2
120 g.
If we double the number of packets then we double the weight.
The number of packets and the weights are in direct proportion.

Direct proportion problems
3 packets of crisps weigh 90 g.How much do 6 packets weigh?
3 packets weigh 90 g.÷ 3
1 packet weighs÷ 3
30 g.
If we divide the number of packets by three then divide the weight by three.
Once we know the weight of one packet we can work out the weight of any number of packets.
© Boardworks Ltd 200429 of 47
3 packets of crisps weigh 90 g.How much do 7 packets weigh?
3 packets weigh 90 g.÷ 3 ÷ 3
1 packet weighs 30 g.× 7 × 7
7 packets weigh 210 g.
This is called using a unitary method.

Using scale factors
How can we get from 4 to 5 using only multiplication and division?
We could divide 4 by 4 to get 1 and then multiply by 5.
(4 ÷ 4) × 5 = 5
We could also multiply 4 by 5 to get 20 and then divide by 4.
(4 × 5) ÷ 4 = 5
