 A ratio is a comparison of two #'s by division. A common way of expressing a ratio is as a fraction in simplest form.  Fro ex.  6/20=3/10.  divide both the 6 and 3 and 20 and 10 by 2.

Lesson:  When it comes down to ratios you could be using fractions, or maybe even decimals.  You might even be writing it like this 4:5 or maybe even 4 out of 5.  It may be different everytime. A rate is a rario of wo measurements having different kids of units. When a rate is simplified so taht it has a denominator of 1, it is called a unit rate.  An example of a unit rate is $4 per pound, which means $4 per 1 pound.
