KEY
LESSON 3: WHAT ARE EQUIVALENT RATIOS?
Exercise 1:
Write a one-sentence story problem about a ratio.
Sample Answer: The ratio of the number of sunny days to the number of cloudy days in this town is 3:1.
Write the ratio in three different forms:
3:1 or 3 to 1 or 3
1
Exercise 2:
Shanni and Mel are using ribbon to decorate a project in their air class. The ratio of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon is 7:3.
Draw a tape diagram to represent this ratio:
7 inches
Shanni 3 inches
7:3
Mel
14 meters
Shanni 6 meters
14:6
Mel
21 inches
Shanni 9 inches
21:9
Mel
Exercise 3:
Mason and Laney ran laps to train for the long-distance running team. The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3.
a. If Mason ran 4 miles, how far did Laney run? Draw a tape diagram to demonstrate how you found the answer.
4 miles
Mason
Laney 6 miles
b. If Laney ran 930 meters, how far did Mason run? Draw a tape diagram to determine how you found the answer.
620 meters
Mason
Laney
930 meters
c. What ratios can we say are equivalent to 2:3? 4:6 and 620:930
Exercise 4:
Jose took a long multiple-choice, end-of-year vocabulary test. The ratio of the number of problems Josie got incorrect t o the number of problems she got correct is 2:9.
If Josie missed 8 questions, how many did she get right? Draw a tape diagram to demonstrates how you found the answer.
8
Wrong
Right 36 right
4 x 9
If Josie missed 20 questions, how many did she get right? Draw a tape diagram to demonstrate how you found the answer.
20
Wrong
Right 90 right
10 x 9
c. What ratios can we say are equivalent to 2:9? 8:36 and 20:90
d. Come up with another possible ratio of the number Josie got wrong to the number she got right:
10:45
5 x 9 = 45
e. How did you find the numbers? Multiplied 5 x 2 and 5 x 9
f. Describe how to create equivalent ratios: Multiply both numbers of the ratio by the
same number (any number you choose).
LESSON SUMMARY
Two ratios A:B and C:D are equivalent ratios if there is a positive number, c, such that C – cA and D = cB.
Ratios are equivalent if there is a positive number that can be multiplied by both quantities in one ratio to equal the corresponding quantities in the second ratio.
Problem Set
1. Write two ratios that are equivalent to 1:1. 2:2 3:3
2. Write two ratios that are equivalent to 3:11. 6:22 9:33
3. a. The ratio of the width of the rectangle to the height of the rectangle is __9_ to
__4_.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
b. If each square in the grid has a side length of 8mm, what is the length and width
of the rectangle? Length = 8mm x 9 = 72mm Width = 8mm x 4 = 32mm
4. For a project in their health class, Jasmine and Brenda recorded the amount of milk they drank every day. Jasmine drank 2 pints of milk each day, and Brenda drank 3 pints of milk each day.
a. Write a ratio of number of pints of milk Jasmine drank to number of pints of milk
Brenda drank each day. 2:3
b. Represent this scenario with tape diagrams.
Jasmine 2 pints
Brenda 3 pints
a. If one pint of milk is equivalent to 2 cups of milk, how many cups of milk did Jasmine and Brenda each drink? How do you know?
Jasmine 2 cups for every pint = 2 x 2 = 4 cups
Brenda 2 cups for every pint = 3 x 2 = 6 cups
a. Write a ratio of number of cups of milk Jasmine drank to number of cups of milk Brenda drank. 4:6
b. Are the two ratios you determined equivalent? Explain why or why not. Yes, because both 4 and 6 can be divided by 2 to reduce 4:6 to 2:3.
