Neilson Middle School
150 Student Total
100 of the students like to watch TV in their free time
50 of the students like to listen to the radio in their free time

On L-17, write down as many comparative statements as you can about the data.

Two types of Ratios:
  • Part to Whole 
    • 50 : 150 
    • 50 students who prefer radio to 150 students total
    • Compares one part pf the whole to the total
  • Part to Part 
    • 50 : 100
    • 50 students who prefer radio to 100 students who prefer TV
    • Compares two of the parts of the whole to each other
A different message is conveyed depending on the type of ratio that is given.

No new homework
