Task 1

• ratio:A ratio is a comparison of two numbers
• rate:A comparison of two quantities measured in different units
• proportion: A proportion is an equation which states that two ratios are equal

Task 2

5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph

2. As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at
the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange
juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50
ml to start with.

Task 3

What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are
true? 3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

The statement is ture because 3x16=48 and 4x12=48 but when you divide it doesnt match.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.
