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
6
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
9
So for every 1 teacher, there are 5 student.
Ratios act just like fractions.

Cookie Recipe
Just like with scales and fractions, when we affect one value, the other values are affected too.

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.
16
Let's do the math.

Let's make it complicated!
Our next field trip is to a grocery store.
