Ratio
Objectives
• Understand how to use ratios to find specific quantities
• Simplify ratios by identifying common factors
• Demonstrate a medium level of
understanding of multiplication and division
• A ratio is a comparison between two numbers or two quantities of different items.
• A ratio can be written as 3:2 and is said to be 3 to 2.
• If you have 2 biscuits and 1 cups of tea, the ratio of biscuits to cups of tea would be 2:1.
• Ratio is also a way in which quantities can be divided or shared.
Simplifying Ratios
• Like fractions, ratios can be simplified by finding common factors.
• The factors of a number are those numbers that divide into it exactly.
• E.g 1 × 12 = 12 2 × 6 = 12 3 × 4 = 12
• So the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
Example
• There are 15 males and 12 females in a group.
What is the ratio of males to females? Give your
example in its simplest form.
• So the ratio of males to females is 15:12. However,
both sides of the ratio can be divided by 3. Dividing
15 and 12 by 3 gives 5:4.
5:4 is the ratio in its simplest form.

Adrian is building a barbecue and needs 300g of mortar. He needs to mix cement and sand in a ratio of 2:1.
How much of each does he need?
Ratios and finding quantities
Ask yourself 3 questions:a) How many parts are there?
a) 3 (2 of cement, 1 of sand)
b) How much is 1 share worth?a) 300g ÷ 3 = 100g
c) How much of each is needed?a) 2 parts cement = 2 x 100g = 200gb) 1 part sand = 1 x 100g = 100g
How do you split 300g in the ratio 2:1?
The next job
• Adrian runs a job renovating a house. He employs painters, carpenters and brickies.
• They earn £600 for the day. Adrian decides to pay out his painters, carpenters and brickies in the ratio 1:2:3 (painters get 1, carpenters 2 and brickies 3)
• How do they split it?
Ask yourself 3 questions:a) How many shares are there?
a) 6 (3 for Brickies, 2 for Carpenters and 1 for Painters)
b) How much is 1 share worth?a) 600 ÷ 6 = £100
c) How much do they get?a) Brickies get 3 x 100 = £300b) Carpenters get 2 x 100 = £200c) Painters get 1 x 100 = £100
How do you split £600 in the ratio 1:2:3?
