APPLICATION There are 20 chaperones for 325 stduents going on the 6 th grade field trip. Does this ratio of parents to students meet the 1: 15 requirement by the county?

APPLICATION There are 20 chaperones for 325 stduents going on the 6 th grade field trip. Does this ratio of parents to students meet the 1: 15 requirement by the county? Actual: 20 chaperones: 235 stdunets = 0. 085 Requirement: 1 chaperone: 15 stduents = 0. 066 0. 085 ≥ 0. 066, so the ratio meets the requirement!

APPLICATION Write a ratio to compare the number of consonants to vowels in the word MATHEMATICS. Express the ratio as a decimal.

THE GOLDEN RATIO The Golden Ratio is the comparison of two numbers in which the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The Golden Ratio is Φ or 1. 618.

MATH AND BEAUTY The Golden Ratio is a proportion that is seen all over the natural world. In humans the “perfect” proportion of the distance from foot to navel: navel to head is the Golden ratio. Try it! 1. With a partner, measure the distance from a) foot to navel __________ cm and b) navel to head __________cm 2. Find the ratio (in a decimal) of a: b
