\textbf{Ratios} are used to show how much of one thing there is compared to
another thing.

Ratios will be written in two ways, either in words "2 to 1" or as "2:1". Both
are read the same way.

A question involving \textbf{ratios} will often ask you to find out how many of
one thing there is.

\subsection*{Worked Example}

\begin{questions}

\question

20 sweets are shared between James and Sasha in the ration 1:3, how many sweets
do James and Sasha each receive?

The first step is to look at what the ratio means for each sweet that James
gets, Sasha gets three so we can expect Sasha to have more sweets than James in
our answer.

The ratio 1:3 means that 4 parts are shared between the boys.

To find out how many sweets are in 1 part, we divide 20 by 4.  $20 \div 4 = 5$
sweets are in 1 part.

Since James gets one part, we now know that he receives 5 sweets.

Sasha gets 3 parts, so we times the number of sweets in 1 part by 3. $3 \times
5 = 15$ sweets in 3 parts.

Sasha gets 15 sweets.

\textbf{Check}

We can write this back in ration form as the number of sweets James has to
Sasha is. 5:15 We know there has to be 20 sweets in total so we can check that
we have shared all 20 sweets out by adding the numbers of sweets that James and
Sasha have. $5 + 15 = 20$, so this supports our answer.

\question

John and Sam stand on a pair of scales, together the weigh 200kg, if the ratio
of John and Sam's weights  is 2:3, how heavy is Sam?

\begin{solution}[2in]

Sum the sides of the ratio, to convert the ratio in to two fractions.

$2 + 3 = 5$

Therefore, Sam weighs $3 \div 5$'s of 200kg.

Sam weighs 120kg.

\end{solution}

\question

A recipe for a cake requires 200g of flour, 100g of butter, 50g of sugar and 2
eggs.  The cake recipe indicates that the cake will serve 4. How much of each
ingredient is necessary for the cake to serve 8?

\begin{boxedminipage}{\linewidth}
    Hint: What is the ratio of cake servings?
\end{boxedminipage}

\begin{solution}[2in]

    Create a ratio between the people that the recipe serves (4) and the people to
    serve (8).

    4:8

    Simplify the ratio.

    1:2

    So it takes 2 lots of each ingredient, for every 1 in the recipe.

    This means:
    \begin{itemize}
        \item 400g of flour
        \item 200g of butter
        \item 100g of sugar
        \item 4 eggs
    \end{itemize}

\end{solution}

\question

John and Sam run a race, in total the race takes them 1 hour, however John is
twice as fast as Sam. How long does Sam take to finish the race?

\begin{solution}[2in]

    Create a ratio between John's time, and Sam's.

    1:2

    Therefore, Sam took twice (2 times) as long as John.

    $2 \times 1hour = 2hours$

\end{solution}

\end{questions}
