Example:

a) 4:3
b) 3:2
Ratios example:
Ratios need to be written in the same unit first, and then
simplified if possible.

Example:
Compare the ratio of the frames length to its width.

length to width ratio

1m to 60 cm
60cm
100 cm to 60 cm
100 : 60 (divide by HCF: 20)
5:3
1m

Multiplying by a fraction

means youre finding a

fraction OF a fraction.

 Recap:Cancelling
Before being multiplied, fractions can be simplified ( numerator and denominator) by the
HCF (highest common factor).

Examples:

 Adding and Subtracting Fractions
Could you explain how to add or subtract fractions?

If the size of the pieces is the same, we

can just add the number of pieces
together.

OR

If the denominators are the same, we can

just add the numerators together.
