2 6.1 Ratios 1. Write ratio as fractions 2. Simplify ratios involving decimals and mixed numbers 3. Convert units to write ratios 4. Write rates as fractions 5. Find unit rates 6. Find the best buy based on unit price 2

3 6.1 Ratios 1. Write ratio as fractions (partly review) Ratio A ratio is the quotient of two numbers or the quotient of two quantities that have the same units. Three ways to write a ratio, for example 50 1, 14 to 10, 2:3 3

4 6.1 Ratios 1. Write ratio as fractions (review) Be careful: 1 st number as numerator, 2 nd number e.g.1 Write each ratio as a fraction: 4 a. 4 to 9 Ans. b. 8:15 9 Ans. e.g.3 BASKETBALL NBA basketball counts are 50 wide and 94 feet long. Write the ratio of the width to the length as fraction in simplest form Ans Write the ratio of the length to the width as fraction in simplest form 47 Ans
