Qtypie's Scribe

Today we had a quiz.


Today Mr. Hanley was talking to us about ratios.


Difference between Fractions and Ratios


Fraction

4/13

4-Numerator->how many parts

13-Denominator->total number of parts


Ratio

4:9

4-part

9-part


Fractions and Ratios are 2 different things

A Fraction has a part and a whole

A Ratio has a part and a part


Ratio to Fraction

How to get a ratio from a fractions is you add the two parts together you get a whole. Thats the denominator. To get the numerator is you get the first number in front of the ratio


ex.4:9 denominator 4+9=13 numerator 4 =4/13


Fraction to Ratio

How to get a the ratio is you have to get the first number. you get it fromt he numerator. you subtract the denominator from the numerator which gives you second number


ex.4/13 first number- 4 second number- 4-13=9= 4:9


Here is and example that Mr. Hanley gave to us

What is the fraction the represents Apples.

What is the ratio of apples to bananas 5/12 5-number of apples 12-total numbers of fruit
