COMPARING 3 QUANTITIES IN THE FORM a:b:c


The

ratio of three quantities is the comparison


between three quantities of the same unit
The ratio of three quantities can be written as
a:b:c and read as a is to b is to c
Example: The ratio of 4mm is to 17 mm is to
2cm
= 4 mm : 17 mm : 2cm
Change into the same unit
= 4 mm : 17 mm : 20 mm
= 4 : 17 : 20

the three quantities of the ratio are multiplied or
divided by the same number
