Interpret a written ratio
Problem
Green beads to yellow beads are in the ratio \(3:5\). State what the first and second terms of the ratio represent.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The quantity names and ratio terms must be aligned in the same left-to-right order. We’ll pair the first number with green beads and the second with yellow beads, then read the relationship aloud as one group for every other group. This prevents reversing the colors or treating the second term as a total.
