Name: ____________________

Teacher: _______________

Period: ________

-In this section, you will learn about ratios, unit costs, rates and proportions.

A ratio is a comparison of two numbers using division, such as the ratio of cups of concentrate to cups of water or the ratio of vowels to consonants in the word math.

The ratio of vowels to consonants in the word math can be written in three ways. This is a part-to-part ratio.

1 to 3 1 : 3 [pic]

EXAMPLE: Express each phrase as a ratio in simplified form:

a.) The ratio of 8 to 12. b.) The ratio of 32 to 16.

c.) The ratio of 8 ounces to 2 pounds. d.) The ratio of 2 feet to 2 yards

Your turn

Write three ratios for each of the following comparisons. Tell whether it is a part-to-part, a part-to-whole, or a whole-to-whole ratio. Use your class to make the comparisons.

1] ratio of boys to girls _____, _____, _____, _____

2] ratio of girls to boys _____, _____, _____, _____

3] ratio of boys to students _____, _____, _____, _____

4] ratio of students to girls _____, _____, _____, _____

RATES:

A rate is a special ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units, like miles and hours or cost

and copies.

The cost for 10 copies is $1.50.

The rate is $1.50/10 copies

EXAMPLE: An airplane travels from Chicago to San Francisco, a distance of 1,803 miles, in 3 hours. Find the rate of speed of the plane.

UNIT Rate:

The unit cost of an item is the ratio of its cost to its quantity.

12 lbs of rice costs $8.99 or 2 lbs of rice costs $2.50. Which is the better buy?

8.99 for 12 pounds or 2.50 for 2 lbs? We need their unit costs:

[pic] [pic]

75 cents per pound or $1.25 per pound.

The better buy would be 12 lbs of rice for $8.99.

EXAMPLE: A 30 pound bag of fertilizer costs $12.25, and an 80 pound bag costs $30.25. Which is the better buy?

Unit Rates and Equations

One of the most useful ways to compare the quantities is to look at the unit rate.

The following are examples of unit rates:

- 45 miles per hour

- 50 kilometers per gallon

- 2 slices per person

- $15 per CD

What does each rate have in common? One of the numbers being compared is 1 unit.

Definition: a unit rate is a rate in which one of the numbers being compared is 1 unit.

In this activity you will use unit rates to compare the ad prices and to find the costs of various numbers of CDs at each store. The following are 2 ads found in a local paper advertising a sale on CDs.

1. Complete the following equivalent fractions.

a. [pic] ? = b. [pic] ? =

2. What did the ? represent in question 1?

Which store (Sal’s Club or Hal-Mart) has the lower price per CD?

Write the unit rate for each given situation. You may draw a picture (bar), make a table, use division, or any method that makes sense to you.

Teaching Ideas for Unit Rate Cards

Scavenger Hunt ~

- This is a student favorite! I cut out the cards and randomly hang them on the lockers outside my classroom. I then assign each student a number (1 – 26) and that is the card that they start at. The students need to answer each question, making sure that they are going in order. The nice thing about this method is that the kids get to work at their own pace. If they need longer for a question, that this activity provides for that. It’s also a nice change from seat work!

Class Activities ~

- Hand out a few cards to each cooperative group. Have the students solve the cards together and pass to another group when done. The activity is over when all cards have been passed. Share answers when completed.

- Have the students sit in a circle and hand out one card to each student. Have the students answer the questions on their cards and pass to the person on their right after directed to do so. Review all answers when done.
