Learn to work with rates and ratios.

Vocabulary rate unit rate unit price

A rate is a comparison of two quantities that have different units. 90 3 Ratio: Read as “90 miles per 3 hours.” 90 miles 3 hours Rate:

Unit rates are rates in which the second quantity is 1. The ratio 90 3 can be simplified by dividing: 90 3 30 1 = 30 miles, 1 hour unit rate: or 30 mi/h

Additional Example 1: Finding Unit Rates Geoff can type 30 words in half a minute. How many words can he type in 1 minute? 30 words minute 1 2 Write a rate. 30 words • 2 minute • 2 1 2 60 words 1 minute Multiply to find words per minute. = Geoff can type 60 words in one minute.

Check It Out: Example 1 Penelope can type 90 words in 2 minutes. How many words can she type in 1 minute? 90 words 2 minutes Write a rate. 90 words ÷ 2 2 minutes ÷ 2 45 words 1 minute Divide to find words per minute. = Penelope can type 45 words in one minute.

Additional Example 2A: Chemistry Application Five cubic meters of copper has a mass of 44,800 kilograms. What is the density of copper? 44,800 kg 5 m3 Write a rate. 44,800 kg ÷ 5 5 m3 ÷ 5 Divide to find kilograms per 1 m3. 8,960 kg 1 m3 Copper has a density of 8,960 kg/m3.

Additional Example 2B: Chemistry Application A piece of gold with a volume of 0.5 cubic meters weighs 9650 kilograms. What is the density of gold? 9650 kg 0.5 m3 Write a rate. 9650 kg • 2 0.5 m3 • 2 Multiply to find kilograms per 1 m3. 19,300 kg 1 m3 Gold has a density of 19,300 kg/m3.

Precious metal has a density of 4,532 kg/m3. Check It Out: Example 2A Four cubic meters of precious metal has a mass of 18,128 kilograms. What is the density of the precious metal? 18,128 kg 4 m3 Write a rate. 18,128 kg ÷ 4 4 m3 ÷ 4 Divide to find kilograms per 1 m3. 4,532 kg 1 m3 Precious metal has a density of 4,532 kg/m3.

The gem stone has a density of 14,160 kg/m3. Check It Out: Example 2B A piece of gem stone with a volume of 0.25 cubic meters weighs 3540 kilograms. What is the density of the gem stone? 3540 kg 0.25 m3 Write a rate. 3540 kg • 4 0.25 m3 • 4 Multiply to find kilograms per 1 m3. 14,160 kg 1 m3 The gem stone has a density of 14,160 kg/m3.

Additional Example 3A: Application A driver is competing in a 500-mile auto race. In the first 2 hours of the race, the driver travels 356 miles. What is the driver's average speed? d t r = Find the ratio of distance to time. = 356 mi 2 h Substitute 356 for d and 2 hours for t. = 178 mi/h Divide to find the unit rate. The driver's average speed is 178 mi/h.

Additional Example 3B: Application A driver is competing in a 500-mile auto race. The driver estimates that he will finish the race in less than 3 hours. If the driver keeps traveling at the same average speed, is his estimate reasonable? Explain. Determine how long the trip will take. Use the formula d = rt. _ ___ 178 178 500 = 178t Substitute 500 for d and 178 for r. Divide both sides by 178. 2.8 ≈ t Simplify. Yes; at an average speed of 178 mi/h, the race will take about 2.8 hours.

Helpful Hint The formula r = is equivalent to d= rt, as shown below. r = r ▪ t = ▪ t rt = d d t

Check It Out: Example 3A A cyclist is competing in a 70-mile bike race. In the first 2 hours of the race, the cyclist travels 14 miles. What is the cyclist's average speed? d t r = Find the ratio of distance to time. = 14 mi 2 h Substitute 14 for d and 2 hours for t. = 7 mi/h Divide to find the unit rate. The cyclist's average speed is 7 mi/h.

Check It Out: Example 3B A cyclist is competing in a 70-mile bike race. The cyclist estimates that he will finish the race in less than 8 hours. If the cyclist keeps traveling at the same average speed, is the estimate reasonable? Explain. Determine how long the trip will take. Use the formula d = rt. _ ___ 7 7 70 = 7t Substitute 70 for d and 7 for r. Divide both sides by 7. 10 = t Simplify. No; at an average speed of 7 mi/h, the race will take about 10 hours.

Unit price is a unit rate used to compare price per item.

Additional Example 4: Finding Unit Prices to Compare Costs Jamie can buy a 15-oz jar of peanut butter for $2.19 or a 20-oz jar for $2.78. Which is the better buy? Divide the price by the number of ounces. price for jar number of ounces $2.19 15 =  $0.15 price for jar number of ounces $2.78 20 =  $0.14 The better buy is the 20-oz jar for $2.78.

Check It Out: Example 4 Golf balls can be purchased in a 3-pack for $4.95 or a 12-pack for $18.95. Which is the better buy? Divide the price by the number of balls. price for package number of balls $4.95 3 =  $1.65 price for package number of balls $18.95 12 =  $1.58 The better buy is the 12-pack for $18.95.
