Ratios and Rates more fractions
Where Have We Seen Ratios Before? 4 girls to every 3 boys = 4: 3 2 students to each book = 2: 1 7 miles/ 1 gallon = 7: 1 6 miles traveled each hour = 6: 1 17 liters of oil spill every 10 minutes = 17: 10
Ratios: relationship that compares quantities/amounts • Can be written three ways a to b a: b all ways are read as “a to b” • Are written in simplest form 5: 10 1: 2 • Two types of Ratios: Part to Part Ratios and Part to Whole Ratios
Part to Part Ratios What is the ratio of shaded parts to unshaded parts? 5 shaded to 3 unshaded 5 : 3 5 3
Part to Whole Ratios What is the ratio of shaded parts to the whole? 6 shaded to 8 parts total 6 : 8 6 8 3 to 4 3 : 4 3 4
Constant vs Random Ratio Relationships • Constant ratios: remain the same ex. For every year there will be 12 months 1 year 1: 12 2 years 2: 24 Simplified 3 Years 3: 36 1: 12 • Random ratios: can change independently ex. For every male teacher there are 4 female teachers 1 : 4 1 : 5 *new female teacher hired 1 : 2 *female teachers quit No Constant Relationship
Equivalent Ratios • Ratios that look different but have the same value (like equivalent fractions) Ex: 1: 4 = 2: 8 Ex: 5 35 = 7 49 When Fractions are equal the ratio relationships they represent are equivalent
To Determine if Ratios are Equivalent
To Determine if Ratios are Equivalent
Equivalent Ratio Practice Ex 1: 3 7 4 8 Ex 2: 10 2 50 10 Ex 3: Are these ratios equivalent? Ex 5: 2 9 4 18 Ex 4: 6 12 11 22 5 15 8 40 Ex 6: 20 2 10 1
Ratio Tables Use a Ratio Table to find equivalent ratios: ex: There are 4 dogs to 10 total pets at the pet shop dogs 4 8 12 20 40 pets 10 20 30 50 100 . Graph the relationship: . .
What is a Rate? • A rate is a ratio that compares two different units. rate ex: Dollars per Pound $5: 3 pounds apples ex: Miles per Gallon 30 miles : 2 gallons • A unit rate is a rate where one of the units is = 1. unit rate ex: What is the unit rate for 30 miles to 2 gallons? 30 miles = 15 miles *for every 1 gallon used, you travel 15 miles 2 gallons = 1 gallon
