Determine how many times larger one quantity is compared to the other. In this example, we are going to use a ratio to figure out how many times more there is of one thing than the other. We are given two tables and eight chairs. The first thing we want is the ratio of the number of chairs to the number of tables. So, let's start here. We have eight chairs and two tables, so our ratio is going to be eight to two. Now, let's move on to Part B. It says there are blank times as many chairs as tables. Well, if I know that I have eight chairs and two tables, I can also write this as a fraction: 8 over 2. This fraction is going to give me four times as many chairs as tables.
