Ratios are really helpful for comparing travel times and distances. Here’s how they work in different situations:

1. Direct Comparison:

   • Imagine you have two routes. One is 120 km and takes 2 hours.
   • The other is 80 km and takes 1 hour.
   • If we look at the ratios, the first route goes at 60 km/h, while the second one is faster at 80 km/h.

2. Speed Analysis:

   • You can find the average speed by using the ratio of distance to time.
   • The formula is: Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

3. Route Efficiency:

   • You can also find out which route is better based on the distance and how much gas you use.
   • For example, if one route gives you 100 km for each liter of gas and another gives you only 50 km, it can really change your travel plans.

Using ratios can help you choose the best way to travel efficiently.
