What this Ratio Language and Equivalent Ratios quiz checks

• A ratio is written a : b, a to b, or a/b, and order matters.
• Part-to-part ratios compare two groups; part-to-whole ratios compare one group with the total.
• Equivalent ratios multiply or divide both terms by the same number.
• Never add the same number to both terms to keep a ratio.
• Ratio tables, tape diagrams and double number lines show equivalent ratios.
