1. Talk about what is a ratio. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers that is separates the two numbers with a colon. Example: ratio of 7 and 22. We can write this as 7:22 or as a fraction 7/22, and we say the ratio is seven to twenty-two(7 to 22). 2. Separate the M&Ms by color. 3. What would the ratios be for each color. 3. Then choose a number(6) and each person can eat that many M&Ms 2. Now what would the new ratio be for each color.
