What to Focus On
- A ratio compares two quantities in order.
- Image A has width:height = 60:40.
- Image C has width:height = 30:20.
- In a:b, the first term corresponds to the first quantity and the second term to the second quantity.
- Ratios are reduced using HCF, not LCM.
- Two ratios are proportional when their simplest forms are equal.
- a:b::c:d means two ratios are proportional.
- If a:b::c:d, then ad = bc.
- The unknown fourth term can be found by d = bc/a.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Any two similar-looking ratios are proportional.
The order of a ratio does not matter.
A ratio is simplified by dividing by the LCM.
