Chapter 6: Ratio, Proportion, and Probability

Tell whether the ratio is in simplest form. If not, write it in simplest form. Then write the ratio in two other ways.

$24:8$

Use equivalent ratios to solve the proportion.

$\frac{b}{15}=\frac{26}{30}$

Tell whether the ratio is in simplest form. If not, write it in simplest form. Then write the ratio in two other ways.

$64\text{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}to\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}3$

Use algebra to solve the proportion.

$\frac{x}{8}=\frac{35}{56}$

Tell whether the ratio is in simplest form. If not, write it in simplest form. Then write the ratio in two other ways.

28 to 10

Order the ratios from least to greatest.

$\frac{4}{2},11\text{to}2,22:3,\frac{30}{4},36:5$

Use algebra to solve the proportion.

$\frac{y}{4}=\frac{42}{28}$

1. Give an example of a proportion that uses the numbers 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Order the ratios from least to greatest.

$\frac{15}{4},19\text{to5},\frac{53}{15},4:1,18\text{to}6$

Use equivalent ratios to solve the proportion.

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{x}{32}$
