Equivalent ratios and simplification

A ratio compares quantities in a fixed order. To simplify 6:9, divide each term by three and write 2:3. Multiplying both terms by the same positive number produces an equivalent ratio; 2:5 and 6:15 have the same proportions. Ratios such as red:blue should not be confused with red:total.

Unit rates and real-world comparisons

A unit rate describes the amount per one unit. If three notebooks cost $12, one costs $4. A car travelling 150 km in three hours has an average speed of 50 km/h. When comparing two offers, calculate a price per item in the same units. The cheaper-looking package may not be the better unit value.

Sharing amounts and solving proportions

To share $60 in the ratio 2:3, there are five total parts, each worth $12, so the shares are $24 and $36. To solve 4/7 = x/21, multiply both numerator and denominator by three and get x = 12. Some problems use inverse proportions: if more workers perform the same work at the same rate, the required time decreases.
