Ratios:

A.  Number Sense uses ratios in a variety of ways.  With ratios you simply write an expression and solve for the missing variable.

Ex [1]  5 is to 8 as 3 is to ________.

a.  When working with ratios, it is easier to think in terms of fractions.

b. So 5/8 = 3/x.  Simplifying this equation we get 5x = 24.

c.  Solving for x we get 24/5.

d.  The answer is 24/5.

Ex [2]  25 is to 100 as what is to 16? _________.

a.  Think of this as 25/100 = x/16.

b.  Simplifying this expression we get (16)(25) = 100x.

c.  This equals 400 = 100x.  See Multiplying by 25.

d.  x = 4.

e.  The answer is 4.
