Questions and Answers

How can you express a value as a fraction of another given their ratio?

  • By converting both values to percentages before comparison.
  • By dividing one value by the other based on their ratio. (correct)
  • By multiplying the values and then simplifying.
  • By adding the values together and then dividing.

    • Which of the following illustrates the concept of expressing one value as a fraction of another?

  • If A = 8 and B = 20, you can say A is $\frac{20}{8}$ of B.
  • If A is 12 and B is 16, then the fraction of A to B is $\frac{12}{16}$ which simplifies to $\frac{3}{4}$. (correct)
  • If the ratio between two values is 2:5, then you can express B as $\frac{2}{5}$ of A.
  • If the ratio of A to B is 3:4, then A is equal to $\frac{3}{4}$ of B.

    Study Notes

    Expressing Values as Fractions

    • To express a value as a fraction of another, use the ratio to create a fraction where the first value is the numerator and the second value is the denominator.
    • In a ratio of 5:3, the first value (5) represented as a fraction of the second value (3) is 5/3.
    • A ratio of C to D as 7:2 means C is 7 parts and D is 2 parts.
    • The fraction representing C in relation to D is 7/2.
    • A ratio expresses the relationship between two values by showing their relative sizes in terms of parts.

    Expressing Values as Fractions

    • A ratio of 5:3 means that for every 5 units of the first value, there are 3 units of the second value.
    • To express the first value as a fraction of the second value, you divide the first value by the second value: 5/3.
    • Therefore, in a ratio of 5:3, the first value is 5/3 of the second value.

    Ratio and Proportion

    • A ratio expresses the relationship between two quantities by dividing one by the other.

    • A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal.

    • This means that the values in the two ratios are proportionally related.

    • For example, the ratio of boys to girls in a classroom being 4:5 means for every 4 boys, there are 5 girls.

    Illustrating Ratio Concepts

    • A pictorial model could use circles to represent the ratio of boys to girls in a classroom, with 4 circles for boys and 5 circles for girls.
    • This visualization helps understand the proportional relationship between the two groups.

    Finding the Fraction in a Ratio

    • In a ratio of C to D as 7:2, the fraction representing C in relation to D is 7/2.
    • This means that C is 7/2 times larger than D.
