A ratio compares how much there is of one thing in relation to another. If 3 people are left handed and 7 people are right handed then the ratio of left to right handed people is 3:7.
We can convert ratios to fractions. The total number of people in the ratio above is 3+7=10. The denominator of the fraction is the total of the parts in the ratio, the numerator is one part of the ratio. This means that 3 out of the 10 people are left handed, and 7 out of the 10 people are right handed.
Any fraction or ratio should contain integers (whole numbers) when written in its simplest form.
Looking forward, students can then progress to additional ratio and proportion worksheets, for example a speed distance time worksheet or aΒ direct proportion worksheet.
For more teaching and learning support on Ratio and Proportion our GCSE maths lessons provide step by step support for all GCSE maths concepts.
