RATES • When the quantities being compared have different dimensions (units), then the ratio is called a rate. Ex 1: A phone company charges $0. 84 for 7 minutes of long distance. The rate is $ 0. 84/7 minutes, which is equal to $0. 12 per minute.

RATES • When the quantities being compared have different dimensions (units), then the ratio is called a rate. Ex 1: A phone company charges $0. 84 for 7 minutes of long distance. The rate is $ 0. 84/7 minutes, which is equal to $0. 12 per minute. Ex 2: A student reads 10 pages in 8 minutes. This rate is 10 pages/8 minutes, which is equal to 5 pages per 4 minutes.

Ex 3: If a 12 -ounce box of cereal sells for $2. 40, and a 16 ounce box sells for $2. 88, which is the better buy? The unit rate of the first box is $0. 20/ounce ($2. 40/12 ounces), and the unit rate of the second box is $0. 18/ounce ($ 2. 88/16 ounces). Therefore, the second box is a better buy.

In summary… • … rate and proportion, together with ratio, are used for solving

In summary… • … rate and proportion, together with ratio, are used for solving many real-world problems that involve comparing different quantities.

Let’s take a closer look at rates and ratios • Recall that rates are

Let’s take a closer look at rates and ratios • Recall that rates are ratios in which the quantities being compared have different units (and thus, different dimensions).

Let’s take a closer look at rates and ratios (cont’d) • Recall that rates

Let’s take a closer look at rates and ratios (cont’d) • Recall that rates are ratios in which the quantities being compared have different units (and thus, different dimensions). • It follows that ratios must compare quantities with the same units (and thus, same dimensions).

In Physics… … many physical quantities are RATIOS in Physics are so important, they have (as a class) a name: adimensional quantities. This name comes from “a-” + “dimensional” (without) + “dimensional”

Adimensional Quantities • The prefix “a-” means “without”, such as in “adiabatic” (without change

Adimensional Quantities • The prefix “a-” means “without”, such as in “adiabatic” (without change in pressure); “asymmetric” (without symmetry) and “asexual” (without gender).

Adimensional Quantities • The prefix “a-” means “without”, such as in “adiabatic” (without change in pressure); “asymmetric” (without symmetry) and “asexual” (without gender). • The suffix “-less” also means “without”, and can be used in the same way: “dimensionless”, “regardless” and “genderless”.
