Ratio and Proportions
Ratio-the quantitative relation between two amounts showing
the number of times one value contains or is contained within
the other.

Proportion- part, share, or number considered in comparative

relation to a whole.
Example of Ratios
• If a bowl of fruit contains eight oranges and six lemons, then the ratio
of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to
the ratio 4:3). Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6:8 (or 3:4)
and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 8:14 (or 4:7).

• There are 3 blue squares to 1 yellow square

• Use the ":" to separate the values: 3:1
• Or we can use the word "to": 3 to 1
• Or write it like a fraction: 3/1
Example of Proportions
A rope's length and weight are in proportion.
When 20m of rope weighs 1kg, then:
40m of that rope weighs 2kg
200m of that rope weighs 10kg
rope 20m / 1kg : 40m / 2kg

20/1 = 40/2
 You want to draw the dog's
head ... how long should it be?
Let us write the proportion with
the help of the 10/20 ratio from
above:
?/42 = 10/20
Now we solve it using a special
method:
?/42 : 10/20
Multiply across the known
corners,
then divide by the third number
And we get this:
? = (42 × 10) / 20
= 420 / 20
= 21
So you should draw the head 21
long.
Find the Ratio and Proportions

Count the number of boys and girls.

 Ronald bought 3 pencils for 10 at Elen’s School
Supply Store. Ruby bought 6 pencils for 20. Give
the ratio of pencils to the amount of money of each
child.
Give the ratio of each of the following orally
in two different ways.

a) 2 books to 3 crayons
b) 5 flowers to 10 leaves
c) 4 basketballs to 12 tennis balls
Find the ratio/proportion of the following.
Use 2 different ways in writing them.
1) There are 10 buses at a station. If each bus has 6 wheels, what is the
ratio of buses to wheels?
2) Every quarter each student submits 2 projects in EPP. Give the ratio
of projects to quarters.
3) There are 3 caimito trees and 4 mango trees in Mang Tino’s orchard.
While in Mr. Muñoz’orchard, there are 6 caimito trees and 8 mango
trees. Give the ratio of the mango to caimito trees in each orchard then
write a proportion.
• What is a ratio? proportion?
