Manipulating Ratios
Simplifying Ratios
Simplifying Ratios
A ratio a : b means that for each 'a' of one thing there are 'b' of another. For example if the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3 : 4 that means that for every 3 boys there are 4 girls.
Reducing a ratio
Reducing a ratio
- To reduce a ratio to a simpler form divide all parts by the same number.
- It is in its simplest form if all parts are whole numbers and there are no more common factors left to divide by.
Fractions and decimals
Fractions and decimals
- If a ratio contains decimals or fractions, multiply to get rid of them before simplifying the ratio.
- If a ratio has mixed units convert both to the smaller unit and simplify.
- Then remove the units from the ratio.
