2 Biyle ger rtios The iyle is renowned s the most energy-effi ient mens of humn trnsport. A iyle with rnge of gers is n extremely verstile nd enjoyle mhine. The ger rtio of iyle is the rtio of pedl rottions ompred to the rte t whih the wheels rotte. Mnufturers pply the mthemtis of ger rtios to provide ylists with the rnge of gers tht is most useful for the style of ike. Hve you ever tried to ride up steep hill in too high ger or rehed the ottom of hill while still in very low ger? A iyle rider hs omfortle rnge of pressures nd rottion rtes tht they n pply to the pedls. Gers mke it esier to sty in this omfortle rnge over wide rnge of riding onditions suh s BMX downhill ring, fst time tril for ring ikes on fl t ground or liming steep, rough trils on mountin ike. Uniyles hve only one wheel nd so hve rtio of 1:1 for pedl turns to wheel turns. Uniyles n t reh high speeds euse it is very diffi ult to rotte pedls more thn out 100 rpm; however, riding uniyle is fun nd it requires strength nd gility to remin stle, espeilly when plying uniyle hokey!

3 334 Chpter 6 Rtios nd rtes 6A Key ides Introduing rtios Rtios re regulrly used in everydy life. They re used to show the reltionship etween two (or more) relted quntities. Here re five ommon uses of rtios: Ingredients the rtio of different ingredients in reipe (ooking, industril) Mps most mps inlude sle whih is written s rtio Sporting suess showing tem s win to loss rtio or the rtio of kiking gols to The rtio of eggs to utter to sugr will ffet the flvour nd points texture of ke. Compring size the rtio of length, re or volume of different shpes Legl requirements minimum stndrds of supervision, stff to student rtios When deling with rtios, the order in whih the rtio is written is very importnt. For exmple, tem s win : loss rtio of 5 : 2 is very different to tem s win : loss rtio of 2 : 5. Rtios ompre quntities of the sme type nd given in the sme unit. Therefore rtio is not generlly written with unit of mesurement. Let s strt: Estimting rtios Estimte the following rtios. Rtio of oys to girls in your shool Rtio of Yer 8 students to Yer 7 students in your shool Rtio of your teher s ge to your ge!

Rtios show the reltionship etween two (or more) relted quntities. For exmple, drink ws mde with the rtio of ordil to wter of 1 : 3. The olon : is the mthemtil symol used to represent rtios. The written rtio of : is red s the rtio of to or is to.

If eh vlue in rtio is multiplied or divided y the sme numer n equivlent rtio is formed. For exmple, 1 : 3 nd 2 : 6 nd 10 : 30 re equivlent rtios.

For exmple, the rtio 15 : 25 n e simplified to 3 : : : 5 Simplest form It is onvention to express rtios in their simplest form. Rtios in simplest form use whole numers only. If rtio is expressed with frtions, it is simplified y onverting the quntities to whole numers. This is generlly done y multiplying y the lowest ommon denomintor (LCD). Before rtios re simplified the quntities must e expressed in the sme unit. Key ides

13 344 Chpter 6 Rtios nd rtes Key ides 6C Dividing quntity in given rtio EXTENDING Rtios re losely onneted to frtions. To help solve prolems involving rtios, we n think of eh quntity in terms of numer of prts. A drink mde in the rtio of ordil to wter of 1 : 4 mens tht there is 1 prt of ordil nd 4 prts of wter. There is totl of 5 prts in the drink. In terms of rtios, it does not mtter whether the drink is 250 ml glss, 2 L ottle or 50 L urn. Chnging the size of the drink will not hnge the rtio of prts ; it will simply hnge the size of eh prt. numer of ordil prts The frtion of ordil in the drink is totl numer of prts = 1 5. numer of wter prts The frtion of wter in the drink is totl numer of prts = 4 5. Thinking out rtios in terms of prts helps us to divide quntities into prtiulr rtios. Let s strt: Shring $120 For eh sitution elow you hve $120 to shre out in the given rtios. With prtner, work out how muh eh person reeives. Sitution 1: Two people, Jk nd Pipp, rtio of 1 : 1 Sitution 2: Two people, Andrew nd Alex, rtio of 2 : 2 Sitution 3: Two people, Jess nd Teres, rtio of 2 : 3 Sitution 4: Two people, Kyle nd Kr, rtio of 3 : 5 Sitution 5: Three people, Mtt, Leos nd Djrrin, rtio of 1 : 1 : 1 Sitution 6: Three people, Christine, Prue nd Crolyn, rtio of 3 : 5 : 7 Disuss the strtegy tht you used to shre the $120. Does your strtegy work for every sitution? Think of rtio in terms of prts. A rtio of 2 : 3 hs 2 prts of one quntity for every 3 prts of nother quntity nd totl of 5 prts. Using the unitry method to divide quntity in given rtio: Find the totl numer of prts in the rtio. Find the vlue of one prt. Find the vlue of the numer of prts required in the rtio. For exmple: Shre $20 in rtio of 2 : 3. Think of shring $20 into 2 prts nd 3 prts. $ 20 = 5 prts 5 5 Totl numer of prts = = 5. $4 = 1 prt 2 2 Vlue of one prt = $20 5 = $4. $8 = 2 prts Therefore 2 prts = $8, nd 3 prts = $12.

14 Numer nd Alger 345 Using frtions to divide quntity in given rtio: numer in rtio Frtion of the mount required = totl numer of prts Clulte the frtion of the mount for eh shre of the rtio. For exmple, shre $20 in rtio of 2 : 3. Frtions of the mount required re 2 5 nd 3 5. Therefore 2 5 of $20 = $8 nd 3 of $20 = $12. 5 To find totl quntity from given rtio: Use the onept of prts nd the unitry method to find the vlue of one prt nd therefore the vlue of the totl prts n e lulted. Or Use equivlent rtios to find the vlue of eh quntity in the rtio nd then dd the numers together to find the totl. Exmple 6 Dividing quntity in prtiulr rtio Divide 54 m in rtio of 4 : 5.

Frtions method 4 9 of 54 = = 24 Frtion = numer in rtio totl numer of prts 5 9 of 54 = = 30 Chek numers dd to totl: = m divided in rtio of 4 : 5 is 24 m nd 30 m. Key ides

Multiply oth quntities y 200. Convert nswer to hours nd minutes. Three wter hoses from three different tps re used to fill lrge swimming pool. The first hose lone tkes 200 hours to fill the pool. The seond hose lone tkes 120 hours to fill the pool nd the third hose lone tkes only 50 hours to fill the pool. How long would it tke to fill the pool if ll three hoses were used? SOLUTION In 600 hours: hose 1 would fill 3 pools hose 2 would fill 5 pools hose 3 would fill 12 pools Therefore in 600 hours the three hoses together would fill 20 pools. Filling rte = 600 h/20 pools h/pool It would tke 30 hours to fill the pool if ll three hoses were used. EXPLANATION LCM of 200, 120 nd 50 is 600, Hose 1 = 600 h 200 h/pool = 3 pools Hose 2 = 600 h 120 h/pool = 5 pools Hose 3 = 600 h 50 h/pool = 12 pools Together = = 20 pools filled.
