Rate, ratio, and proportion are used in many everyday situations, even if we don’t always notice them.
Rate is used when comparing two different quantities. For example, speed is a rate (kilometres per hour), salary per day, or the cost of fuel per litre.
Ratio compares two quantities of the same kind. Common examples include mixing juice in a ratio of 1:4 (juice to water), comparing boys to girls in a class, or ingredients used in cooking.
Proportion shows that two ratios are equal. For instance, if 2 notebooks cost the same as 4 pencils, or when a recipe is doubled and ingredients are increased in the same ratio.
These simple concepts become much easier to understand with clear explanations and practice, which is exactly how Sorry Teacher helps students learn maths step by step.
