What to Focus On
- Ratio compares two quantities of the same kind and same unit.
- The symbol of ratio is :
- The first term is called antecedent and the second term is called consequent.
- Fractional ratios can be changed into whole number ratios.
- Multiply each term by the L.C.M. of the denominators.
- The ratio remains unchanged if both terms are multiplied by the same non-zero number.
- Add all terms of the ratio to get the total number of equal parts.
- Each share is found as its term divided by the sum of all terms.
- First convert fractional ratios into whole numbers if needed.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A ratio can be formed between any two numbers, even if the quantities are of different kinds or units.
A ratio always has a unit because the quantities being compared have units.
The order of terms in a ratio does not matter, so 3 : 4 and 4 : 3 mean the same thing.
