1 A Introdution to ratios Ratios are used to ompare quantities of the same kind. Ratios do not have a name or unit of measurement. The order of the numbers in a ratio is important. If the ratio of flour to water is 1 :, the 1 orresponds to the quantity of flour and the orresponds to the quantity of water. Ratios an also be written in frational form: 1:. Ratios an also be written as perentages; for example if 0% of a lass of Year 8 students walked to shool then 80% did not walk to shool a ratio of 1 :. Before ratios are written, the numbers must be expressed in the same units of measurement. One the units are the same, they an be omitted. Ratios ontain only whole numbers. 1 WORKED EXAMPLE 1 Look at the ompleted game of noughts and rosses at right and write the ratios of: a rosses to noughts b noughts to unmarked spaes. a Count the number of rosses and the number of noughts. Write the numbers as a ratio (the number of rosses must be written first). b Count the number of noughts and the number of unmarked spaes. Write the numbers as a ratio, putting them in the order required (the number of noughts must be written first). a : b : WORKED EXAMPLE Rewrite the following statement as a ratio: 7 mm to 1 m. 1 Express both quantities in the same units. To obtain whole numbers, onvert 1 m to mm (rather than 7 mm to m). Omit the units and write the numbers as a ratio. 7 : 10 7 mm to 1 m 7 mm to 10 mm REMEMBER Weblink Introduing ratios 1. Ratios ompare quantities of the same kind.. The ratios themselves do not have a name or unit of measurement.. The order of the numbers in a ratio is important..

4 B Simplifying ratios When the numbers in a ratio are multiplied or divided by the same number to obtain another ratio, these two ratios are said to be equivalent. (This is a similar proess to obtaining equivalent frations). Like frations, ratios are usually written in simplest form; that is, redued to lowest terms. WORKED EXAMPLE Express the ratio 16 : in simplest form. 1 Write the ratio. 16 : Determine the largest number by whih both 16 and an be divided (that is, what is the highest ommon fator)? It is 8. Divide both 16 and by 8 to obtain an equivalent ratio in simplest form. ó 8 ó 8 : WORKED EXAMPLE Write the ratio of m to 1. m in simplest form. 1 Write the question. m to 1. m Express both quantities in the same units by hanging 1. m into m. (1 m = 100 m) m to 10 m Omit the units and write the numbers as a ratio. : 10 Simplify the ratio by dividing both and 10 by 1 the HCF. ó 1 ó 1 : 10 WORKED EXAMPLE Simplify the following ratios. a : 7 10 b 6 : 8 a 1 Write the frations in ratio form. a Write equivalent frations using the lowest ommon denominator (in this ase, 10). Multiply both frations by 10. Chek if the remaining whole numbers that form the ratio an be simplified. In this ase they annot. : 7 10 : ì 10 ì 10 : Maths Quest 8 for the Australian Curriulum

5 b 1 Write the frations in ratio form. b Write equivalent frations using the lowest ommon denominator (in this ase, ). Multiply both frations by. Chek if the remaining whole numbers that form the ratio an be simplified. In this ase divide eah by the HCF of. 6 : 8 0 : 1 ì ì 0 : 1 ó ó : If the ratio uses deimals, we multiply by the smallest power of 10 that will produe a whole number for both parts of the ratio. WORKED EXAMPLE 6 Write the following ratios in simplest form. a.1 to. b 1. : 0.7 a 1 Write the deimals in ratio form. a.1 :. Both deimals have one deimal plae, so multiplying eah by 10 will produe whole numbers. Simplify by dividing both numbers by the HCF of 7. ì 10 ì 10 1 : ó 7 ó 7 : b 1 Write the deimals in ratio form. b 1. : 0.7 Beause 0.7 has two deimal plaes, we multiply eah deimal by 100 to produe whole numbers. Simplify by dividing both numbers by the HCF of. ì 100 ì : 7 ó ó 8 : 1 If the ratio ontains algebrai terms, divide both parts of the ratio by the highest ommon fator (HCF) inluding ommon algebrai terms. WORKED EXAMPLE 7 Simplify the ratios: a 10a b : 1ab b mn : 6mn. a 1 Write the ratios. a 10a b : 1ab Simplify the ratio by dividing both sides by ab (the HCF). Canel ommon fators to obtain the ratio in simplest form. 10ab 1ab : ab ab a : b b 1 Write the ratios. b mn : 6mn Simplify the ratio by dividing both sides by mn (the HCF). Canel ommon fators to obtain the ratio in simplest form. mn 6mn : mn mn 1 : Chapter Ratios and rates 117

6 REMEMBER 1. If eah number in a ratio is multiplied or divided by the same number, the equivalent (or equal) ratio is formed.. It is ustomary to write ratios in the simplest form. This is ahieved by dividing eah number in the ratio by the highest ommon fator (HCF).. To form a ratio using frations, onvert the frations so that they have a ommon denominator and then write the ratio of the numerators.. Deimals an be easily hanged into whole numbers if they are multiplied by powers of 10 (that is, 10, 100, 1000 and so on).. If the ratio ontains algebrai terms, divide both parts of the ratio by the highest ommon fator (HCF) inluding ommon algebrai terms.

State your onlusion < 10 1 Therefore, : is the larger ratio. When measuring the steepness of various slopes or hills, we need to ompare the gradient. Gradient is alulated by finding the ratio vertial distane horizontal distane between any points on a hill. This is also known as alulating rise run. The larger the gradient, the steeper the hill. 1 Maths Quest 8 for the Australian Curriulum

21 Summary Introdution to ratios Ratios ompare quantities of the same kind. The ratios themselves do not have a name or unit of measurement. The order of the numbers in a ratio is important. Before ratios are written, the numbers must be expressed in the same units of measurement. Ratios ontain only whole numbers. Simplifying ratios If eah number in a ratio is multiplied or divided by the same number, the equivalent (or equal) ratio is formed. It is ustomary to write ratios in the simplest form. This is ahieved by dividing eah number in the ratio by the highest ommon fator (HCF). To form a ratio using frations, onvert the frations so that they have a ommon denominator and then write the ratio of the numerators. Deimals an be easily hanged into whole numbers if they are multiplied by powers of 10 (that is, 10, 100, 1000 and so on). If the ratio ontains algebrai terms, divide both parts of the ratio by the highest ommon fator (HCF) inluding ommon algebrai terms. Proportion Proportion is a statement of equality of two ratios. In any proportion, the produts of the numbers, diagonally aross from eah other, are equal. In general, if a =, then, using ross-multipliation, a ì d = ì b. b d Comparing ratios To ompare ratios, write them in fration form first and then ompare the frations by writing them with a ommon denominator. Gradient is a measure of the steepness of the slope and is alulated by finding the ratio vertial distane. (The distanes are measured between any points on the slope.) horizontal distane Dividing in a given ratio To share a ertain amount in a given ratio, find the total number of shares (parts) first. The size of eah share is given by the fration this share represents out of the total number of shares. Rates Rates are used to measure and ompare the hanges in different quantities. Rates are usually written using per or a slash (/ ). Rates are onsidered to be in simplest form if they are expressed per one unit (for example, per minute, per hour, per kg and so on).
