Equivalent Ratios and Fractions

This section provides practice problems for converting between equivalent ratios and fractions. Students are asked to complete a series of exercises that reinforce the relationship between ratios and fractions.

Vocabulary: Equivalent ratios are ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, just expressed with different numbers.

The exercises include:

  1. Writing equivalent fractions for given ratios
  2. Writing equivalent ratios for given fractions
  3. Simplifying ratios and fractions to their lowest terms

Example: 4:6 = 10:15 can be written as equivalent fractions 4/6 = 10/15, which simplifies to 2/3.

Answers to Equivalent Ratios and Fractions Exercises

This page provides the solutions to the previous exercises, allowing students to check their work and understand the correct approach to solving these problems.

Highlight: All ratios and fractions are given in their simplest form, reinforcing the importance of simplification in ratio and fraction work.

The solutions demonstrate how to:

  • Convert ratios to fractions and vice versa
  • Simplify ratios and fractions to their lowest terms
  • Recognize patterns in equivalent ratios and fractions

Solving for Unknown Variables in Ratios

This section introduces the technique of using equivalent fractions to solve for unknown variables in ratios. Two worked examples are provided to illustrate the process.

Example: For the ratio 4:12 = 10:x, we can write it as equivalent fractions 4/12 = 10/x, then solve for x to get x = 30.

Example: For the ratio y:18 = 5:30, we can write it as equivalent fractions y/18 = 5/30, then solve for y to get y = 3.

These examples demonstrate how to:

  • Set up equivalent fractions from given ratios
  • Rearrange equations to isolate the unknown variable
  • Solve for the unknown using basic algebra

Solutions to Unknown Variable Problems

This page presents the solutions to the practice problems from the previous page. It allows students to check their work and understand the correct approach to solving these types of problems.

Highlight: Each solution is given as a single numerical value, emphasizing the importance of solving for the specific unknown variable.

The solutions demonstrate:

  • Consistent application of the equivalent fractions method
  • Correct algebraic manipulation to isolate and solve for the unknown
  • The variety of possible ratio structures and their solutions

Expressing Variables in Terms of Each Other

This section introduces a more advanced application of the equivalent fractions method, where students learn to express one variable in a ratio in terms of the other.

Example: For the ratio y:8 = 3:x, we can express y in terms of x as y = (3/8)x, and x in terms of y as x = (8/3)y.

Example: For the ratio 7:y = x:2, we can express y in terms of x as y = (14/x), and x in terms of y as x = (14/y).

These examples show how to:

  • Set up equivalent fractions for ratios with two variables
  • Rearrange equations to express one variable in terms of the other
  • Interpret the resulting expressions

Practice Problems: Expressing Variables in Terms of Each Other

This page provides a set of practice problems for students to apply the technique of expressing one variable in a ratio in terms of the other using the equivalent fractions method.

Highlight: These problems require students to produce two expressions for each ratio, one for each variable in terms of the other.

The problems include ratios with:

  • Different positions of variables
  • Fractions and whole numbers
  • Various levels of complexity in the resulting expressions

Solutions to Variable Expression Problems

This page presents the solutions to the practice problems from the previous page. It allows students to check their work and understand the correct approach to expressing variables in terms of each other in ratios.

Highlight: Each solution provides two expressions, one for x in terms of y and one for y in terms of x, emphasizing the reciprocal nature of these relationships.

The solutions demonstrate:

  • Correct application of the equivalent fractions method
  • Proper algebraic manipulation to isolate each variable
  • The variety of expressions that can result from different ratio structures

Simplifying Ratio Expressions

This section focuses on simplifying ratio expressions and writing them in standard forms. It introduces the concept of expressing ratios in the form x:y = a:b, where a and b are constants.

Example: For the ratio y:4 = x:5, we can express it as x:y = 5:4.

Highlight: This form of expression allows for easy comparison of ratios and identification of proportional relationships.

The example demonstrates how to:

  • Rearrange ratio equations to isolate variables on one side
  • Express the ratio in a standard form with constants
  • Interpret the resulting simplified ratio
