Draw a model to represent the ratio 1 to 3. Describe how to use the model to find an equivalent ratio.

Additionally, provide a simple explanation of ratios for someone who was absent:

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers showing how many times the first number contains the second. For example, in the ratio 1 to 3, for every 1 part of the first quantity, there are 3 parts of the second quantity. An equivalent ratio is one that expresses the same relationship, such as 2 to 6, which also represents a ratio of 1 to 3 when simplified.

Ratios are basically a number v a number. Like if your in a group of 30 people and 10 of them are boys, your ratio of girls to boys would be 20:10. That's like really really basic ratio and idk how advanced in rations you are but yeah.

Suppose you are in a cinema and there are 12 men and 36 women, then the ratio men to women is 12:36, dividing each term by 12 we get 1:3, which is an equivalent ratio. Other way to get an equivalent ratio is multiplying each term by some constant, for example if we multiply each term in the ratio 1:3 by 4 we get the equivalent ratio: 4:12.
Ratios are used to show the relative sizes of two values, in the example, the relative amount of men and women in some place. ;

To model the ratio 1 to 3, draw 1 small rectangle and 3 larger rectangles to represent the quantities. Equivalent ratios can be found by multiplying both numbers in the ratio by the same factor, like turning 1:3 into 2:6. Ratios compare two quantities, showing how much of one exists relative to the other.
