Ratios
We're ending our scales unit by applying the concept to ratios.
Ratios is a type of scaling that compares two or more values by using a colon symbol.
3
Cookie Recipe
One batch (12 cookies) is made with 3 flour to 2 butter to 1 sugar. When we write ratios, they are written in the order that is given.
4
Multiple Choice
If one batch requires 3 cups flour, 2 cups butter, and 1 cup sugar, what would the ratio written out look like?
1 : 2 : 3
2 : 1 : 3
3 : 1 : 2
3 : 2 : 1
5
Multiple Choice
If one batch requires 2 cups butter, 1 cup sugar, and 3 cups flour, what would the ratio written out look like?
1 : 2 : 3
2 : 1 : 3
3 : 1 : 2
3 : 2 : 1

A non-food example: The ratio of teacher to student is about 3 to 15 or 3 : 15.
7
Multiple Choice
The ratio of teacher to student is about 3 to 15 or 3 : 15. The number 15 represents what?
The number of students
The number of teachers
8
Multiple Choice
Let' simplify (find the smallest equivalent ratio) for the number of teacher to student ratio. It is currently 3 : 15, but what can we simplify it to?
We can't. It's 3 : 15
1 : 5
2 : 20
3 : 25

So for every 1 teacher, there are 5 student.
Ratios act just like fractions.

Scaling Down Ratios
Just as easily as we can scale UP ratios by multiplication, we can scale DOWN ratios by dividing.
14
I don't want to eat 12 cookies. Those are too many cookies.
Since one batch is 12 cookies, I only want to make 6 cookies. How can I modify my recipe to only bake 6 cookies?
15
We are going to halve the recipe (cut the recipe in half).
The original recipe was 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of butter, and 1 cup of sugar.

Let's do the math.
