6.RP.A.1

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. Make a distinction between ratios and fractions. For example, the ratio of wings to beaks in a bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak. Another example could be for every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.
