Ratio and Rates

Ratios compare quantities multiplicatively. Unit rates compare an amount to one unit.

Key ideas

  • simplify ratios
  • equivalent ratios
  • unit rates
  • scaling
  • proportion problems

Worked example: 6:9 simplifies to 2:3.

Common trap: Simplify both parts of a ratio by the same factor.

Key words

ratio — multiplicative comparison
rate — comparison using different units
unit rate — rate per 1 unit
proportion — equality of ratios
scale factor — multiplier relating sizes
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 30 attempts on the same browser.
