Ratios and Fractions

Welcome to our tutorial on Ratios and Fractions. This is where we delve into the close relationship between these two mathematical concepts. Understanding the connection between ratios and fractions not only simplifies the understanding of ratios but also extends their practical application.

Ratios are a way to compare quantities. A ratio tells us how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. Fractions, on the other hand, are a way to represent part of a whole. At a glance, they might seem like separate ideas, but ratios and fractions are deeply connected.

In fact, every ratio can be expressed as a fraction and vice versa. For example, if we have a ratio of 2:3, this can be written as the fraction 2/3. This means that for every 2 units of the first quantity, there are 3 units of the second quantity. In the context of a fraction, it means 2 parts out of a total of 5 parts (2+3).

Being able to convert between ratios and fractions is a fundamental skill in math. It allows us to simplify complex problems, make comparisons more easily, and understand proportional relationships in a more concrete way.
