Ratios and Proportions
Ratios compare two or more quantities, while proportions show when two ratios are equal. đ
Introduction BrĂšve
Ratios and proportions are like recipes that show how different quantities relate to each other. Just like how a recipe might call for 2 cups of flour for every 1 cup of sugar, ratios help us compare things in our daily lives. They're essential tools for scaling recipes, understanding maps, mixing paint colors, and solving many real-world problems. đ§ź
Explication Principale
Understanding Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two or more numbers. It's like comparing the number of boys to girls in a classroom (15:10) or the mix of ingredients in a smoothie (2 parts juice : 1 part yogurt). We can write ratios using ':' or as fractions (15/10). đ„
Equal Ratios
Different ratios can be equivalent, just like 1:2 is the same as 2:4 or 3:6. It's like doubling a recipe - if you use twice as much of everything, the taste stays the same! âïž
Proportions
A proportion is an equation showing two equal ratios. If 2 cookies cost $1, then 6 cookies would cost $3 because 2:1 = 6:3. It's like a balance scale where both sides match. đȘ
Solving Proportions
To solve proportions, we find the missing value that makes the ratios equal. If 3:12 = x:20, we can find x by thinking 'if 3 goes to 12, what goes to 20?' The answer is 5. đŻ
Exemples
- Making lemonade: If you use 3 lemons for 6 cups of water, you'll need 5 lemons for 10 cups of water to maintain the same taste. đ
- Map scales: If 1 inch on a map represents 100 miles in real life, then 2 inches represents 200 miles - it's a proportion! đșïž
- Paint mixing: When mixing blue and yellow paint to make green, using a 2:1 ratio means 2 parts blue for every 1 part yellow, whether you're using spoons, cups, or buckets! đš
