Ratios and fractions both represent relationships between numbers, but they do so in different ways. A ratio compares two quantities, indicating how many times one value contains or is contained by another (e.g., 3:2). In contrast, a fraction represents a part of a whole, expressed as a numerator over a denominator (e.g., 3/5). While fractions can be considered a specific type of ratio (where the denominator is the whole), ratios can encompass broader relationships beyond simple parts of a whole.
What else can I help you with?
How do you compare two ratios in two ways?
Treat the ratios as fractions. One way you can compare them is to convert them to decimal (divide the numerator by the denominator, or the first number of the ratio by the second number), then compare. Another way is to find a common denominator, then compare the numerators.
How are equivalent ratios are like equivalent fractions?
Yes. In fact, fractions can be thought of as vertical ratios.
How do you compare ratios-?
To compare ratios, compare the products of the outer terms by the inner terms.
How would you compare two ratios given in words?
To compare two ratios given in words, first, express each ratio in numerical form for clarity. Then, simplify both ratios if necessary, making it easier to see their relationship. Finally, analyze the simplified ratios to determine which one is larger, smaller, or if they are equal by cross-multiplying or comparing their fractions directly.
What fractions form a proportion?
Fractions are ratios. Equivalent fractions form a proportion.
How do you compare and contrast fractions?
(2/3)2

Are all ratios a fraction?
All ratios can be written as fractions.
What fractions form a proportion?
Fractions are ratios. Equivalent fractions form a proportion.
How do you turn decimals into ratios?
Convert them to fractions.
Is it true that Ratios can only be expressed as fractions?
NO
How are your stratagies for writing equivalent ratios the same as or different from writing equivalent fractions?
The strategies for writing equivalent ratios is the same as writing equivalent fractions.
Is 45 and 54 equivalent ratio?
No, 45 and 54 are not equivalent ratios. To determine if two ratios are equivalent, you can simplify them or compare their fractions. The ratio of 45 to 54 can be simplified to 5:6, while 54 does not simplify to 5, indicating they are not equivalent.
Can Some fractions and ratios can be written as mixed numbers?
fractions can't be written as a mixed number because it's already a fraction but im not sure about ratios.
