What Are Ratios, Proportions, and Percents?
Ratios, proportions, and percents help us compare quantities in different ways!
A ratio shows the relationship between two numbers (like 3 apples to 2 oranges). A proportion shows that two ratios are equal (3:2 = 6:4). A percent is a special ratio that compares a number to 100 (like 75% means 75 out of 100).
How They Work Together
1️⃣ Ratios compare two quantities (3:4)
2️⃣ Proportions show equal ratios (3:4 = 6:8)
3️⃣ Percents compare to 100 (75% = 75/100 = 3:4)

Parent Tips 🌟
- Kitchen Math: Involve your child in cooking using recipes to practice ratios (e.g., "We need 2 cups of flour for every 1 cup of sugar").
- Store Scavenger Hunt: Look for percentages during shopping (discounts, sales) and have your child calculate the new prices.
- Sports Stats: Use sports statistics (like batting averages or free throw percentages) to make learning relevant and fun.
