Chapter 4: Ratio, Rates and Proportion
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about ratios, rates, and proportions.
Ratios represent the relation between three quantities in the form of a : b : c. We will learn how to identify and determine equivalent ratios in different contexts. Rates are the relationship between ratios and we will learn how to determine this relationship. Proportions are also related to ratios and we will learn how to determine an unknown value in a proportion.
Lastly, we will learn how to determine the ratio of three quantities given two or more ratios, as well as how to find the ratio or related value given certain information.
