Remember:
A ratio compares two quantities and can be written \(a\) to \(b\), \(a:b\), or \(\frac{a}{b}\).
Order matters: \(3:5\) and \(5:3\) are different ratios.
Part-to-part ratios compare groups; part-to-whole ratios compare a group to the total.
Equivalent ratios come from multiplying or dividing both terms by the same nonzero number.
Ratio tables, tape diagrams, and double number lines organize equivalent ratios.
