Ratio Notes Y8

This document defines key ratio and proportion concepts and provides examples: 1. A ratio compares parts and is written with a colon, while a proportion compares parts to a whole and is written as a fraction. 2. Simplifying ratios involves dividing all parts by a common factor. Ratios can also be written in the form of 1:n or n:1. 3. Sharing an amount in a ratio involves adding all ratio parts, dividing the total amount by the sum, and multiplying each part by the result. This allows calculating individual shares when the total is known.

Topic/Skill Definition/Tips Example


1. Ratio Ratio compares the size of one part to
another part.

Written using the ‘:’ symbol.


2. Proportion Proportion compares the size of one part to In a class with 13 boys and 9 girls, the
the size of the whole. 13
proportion of boys is 22 and the
9
Usually written as a fraction. proportion of girls is 22
3. Simplifying Divide all parts of the ratio by a common 5 : 10 = 1 : 2 (divide both by 5)
Ratios factor. 14 : 21 = 2 : 3 (divide both by 7)

4. Ratios in the Divide both parts of the ratio by one of the 7


5 : 7 = 1 : 5 in the form 1 : n
form 1 ∶ 𝑛 or numbers to make one part equal 1. 5
𝑛∶ 1 5 : 7 = 7 : 1 in the form n : 1

5. Sharing in a 1. Add the total parts of the ratio. Share £60 in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1.
Ratio 2. Divide the amount to be shared by this
value to find the value of one part. 3+2+1=6
3. Multiply this value by each part of the 60 ÷ 6 = 10
ratio. 3 x 10 = 30, 2 x 10 = 20, 1 x 10 = 10
£30 : £20 : £10
Use only if you know the total.
6. Proportional Comparing two things using multiplicative
Reasoning reasoning and applying this to a new
situation.

Identify one multiplicative link and use this


to find missing quantities.
7. Unitary Finding the value of a single unit and then 3 cakes require 450g of sugar to make.
Method finding the necessary value by multiplying Find how much sugar is needed to
the single unit value. make 5 cakes.

3 cakes = 450g
So 1 cake = 150g (÷ by 3)
So 5 cakes = 750 g (x by 5)
8. Ratio Find what one part of the ratio is worth Money was shared in the ratio 3:2:5
already shared using the unitary method. between Ann, Bob and Cat. Given that
Bob had £16, found out the total
amount of money shared.

£16 = 2 parts
So £8 = 1 part
3 + 2 + 5 = 10 parts, so 8 x 10 = £80
9. Best Buys Find the unit cost by dividing the price by 8 cakes for £1.28 16p each (÷by 8)
the quantity. 13 cakes for £2.05 15.8p each (÷by
The lowest number is the best value. 13)
Pack of 13 cakes is best value.
