EXPLORE
• Ratio is the comparison of two quantities.
If there 9 girls and 7 boys, we can say that

EXPLAIN
• We can write the ratio of a and b in three ways:
word form a is to b
colon form a:b
Fraction form
EXAMPLE 2
• Express the ratio of two 25 – centavo coins to P2.50 coins
in colon form.
P 2.50 coins 10 25 – centavo coins
25 – centavo 2
therefore. The ratio of two 25 – centavo coins to P 2.50
coins is 2:5
