1Understanding Ratios
2The Structural Procedure
- A ratio compares two quantities; order of quantities matters
- Part-to-Part compares two distinct subgroups (e.g. boys to girls)
- Part-to-Whole compares one subgroup to the total (e.g. boys to class)
3Mathematical Word Bank
- Understand Ratios (Comprender razones) — Use a ratio to compare two quantities by division.
- Ratio (Razón) — A way to compare two amounts, like 3 to 2.
- Comparison (Comparación) — Looking at two or more amounts to see how they are related.
- Part-to-part (Parte a parte) — A ratio comparing one part of a group to another part.
- Part-to-whole (Parte a todo) — A ratio comparing one part to the whole group.
- Colon notation (Notación con dos puntos) — Writing a ratio with two dots between the numbers, like 3:2.
4Watch out
- A common mistake in Understand Ratios is writing the ratio in the wrong order: when asked for the ratio of apple juice to sparkling water in a recipe that uses 3 cups of apple juice for every 2 cups of sparkling water, some students write 2:3 (sparkling water to apple juice) because they list the ingredients in whatever order comes to mind rather than the order the question asks for. The two ratios describe different drinks — 3:2 means 3 cups of juice for every 2 cups of water, while 2:3 would mean only 2 cups of juice for every 3 cups of water. Always match the order of your ratio to the order named in the question: "apple juice to sparkling water" means the apple juice number comes first, giving 3:2.
