1. Ratio, Rates, & Proportions

2. Ratios A ratio is a comparison of two numbers.
Example: Tamara has 2 dogs and 8 fish. The ratio of dogs to fish can be written in three different ways.
*** Be careful with the fraction ratios – they don’t always have identical meanings to other fractions***

3. There are two different types of ratios
.Part-to-Part Ratios
Example: Tamara’s dogs to cats is 2 to 8 or 1 to 4
.Part –to-Whole Ratios
Example: Tamara’s dogs to total pets is 2 to 10 or 1 to 5

4. Try the following Oranges to apples Apples to bananas
There are 12 apples and 3 bananas
So the ratio of apples to bananas is
4:1, 4 to 1, OR
There are 15 oranges and 12 apples
So the ratio of oranges to apples is
5:4, 5 to 4, OR

5. A large bouquet of flowers is made up of 18 roses, 16 daisies, and 24 irises. Write each ratio in all three forms in simplest form. Identify which ratios are part-to-part and which ratios are part-to-whole.

6. is not written as a mixed number:9
Explain why the ratio
is not written as a mixed number:
The ratio is comparing two number. If you changed it to a mixed number it would no longer be a comparison. This is why fraction ratios are tricky 

7. Comparing Ratios Compare ratios by writing in simplest form
Are these ratios equivalent?

A rate is a ratio that compares two different quantities or measurements.
Rates can be simplified
Rates us the words per and for
Example: Driving 55 miles per hour
Example: 3 tickets for $1

9. Unit Rates
A unit rate is a rate per one unit. In unit rate the denominator is always one.
Example: Miguel types 180 words in 4 min. How many words can he type per minute?
or words per minute 45 =
rate unit rate word form

10. Unit rates make it easier to make comparisons.
Example: Taylor can type 215 words in 5 min
How many words can he type per minute?
Who is the faster typist? How much faster?
Taylor is 2wpm faster than Miguel

17. Proportions

18. You can determine proportionality by comparing ratios
Two quantities are proportional if they have a constant ratio or unit rate.
You can determine proportionality by comparing ratios
Andrew earns $18 per hour for mowing lawns. Is the amount he earns proportional to the number of hours he spends mowing?
Make a table to show these amounts
For each number of hours worked, write the relationship of the amount he earned and hour as a ratio in simplest form.
Are all the rates equivalent?
Earnings ($) 18
36 
 54
 72
Time (h) 1 2 3 4
Since each rate simplifies to 18, they are all equivalent. This means the amount of money Andrew earns is proportional to the number of hours he spends mowing.

19. Cost ($) 10 17 24 31 Tickets Ordered 1 2 3 4
Uptown Tickets charges $7 per baseball game ticket plus $2 processing fee per order. Is the cost of an order proportional to the number of tickets ordered?

For each number of tickets, write the relationship of the cost of the and the number of tickets ordered.
Are all the rates equivalent?
Cost ($) 10 17 24 31
Tickets Ordered 1 2 3 4
The rates are not equivalent. This means the total cost of the tickets is not proportional to the number of tickets sold.

No, 340 ≠ Yes, 72 = 72

23. b.
Proportionality can also be determined between two ratios by simplifying or comparing their cross products
If they reduce to the same ratio, or their cross products are the same, then they are proportional
You can also solve proportions for a missing variable by cross multiplying.

No 32 = 30
No 30 = 70

24. Example: Determine the value of x:
