Writing and Interpreting Ratios: Sample FAST Questions

Given a real-world context, students write and interpret ratios that show the relative sizes of two quantities, using the notations a/b, a to b, and a:b (with b not zero). They distinguish part-to-part ratios from part-to-whole ratios, such as the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles versus red marbles to all marbles.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

FAST items are mainly multiple choice questions asking for the ratio that describes a situation or the correct interpretation of a given ratio, in any of the three notations.

Skills students need

  • Write ratios in a/b, a to b, and a:b notation
  • Interpret part-to-part and part-to-whole ratios in context
