Kilo of eggplants
3 units
Kilo of
pechay 5
units

Ratio - 3 is to 5

3. Process the answers

The kilo of eggplant is 3/5 of the kilo of pechay.

Another Example:
Mico Madyikero has two strings for his magic trick. The lengths of 2 strings, string A is 8 cm and
string B is 24 cm.
How many times is B as long as

A? String A 1 unit

String B 3 units

String B is times as long as A.

E. Application:
Divide the class into five groups. Let each group answer the following.
Activity 1:

The ratio of the number of Joan’s sticker to the number of Mary’s

stickers is 2:8. How many times as many stickers as Joan does Mary

The bag of flour is times as heavy as the bag of rice.

Guide and assist the pupils when doing the activity. Ask each group to show its work and to explain its
output.

F. Generalization:
Ask the following questions:
How can we find how many times one value is as large as another?
WE CAN FIND IT GIVEN THE RATIO OF TWO QUANTITIES.

IV. Evaluation
Find what is being asked in the problem.
1.The length of 2 ribbons, A and B is in the ratio of 10 cm and 60 cm. How many times longer is B to
A?
2.There are 4 times as many adults as children at a birthday. What is the ratio of the number of
