Ratio, Rates, & Proportions

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***

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  

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

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. Roses to iris Daisies to roses Iris to daisies all flowers to roses 18 to 24 3 to 4 24 to 16 3 to 2 16 to 18 8 to 9 58 to 8 29 to 9

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 

Comparing Ratios Compare ratios by writing in simplest form Are these ratios equivalent? 250 Kit Kats to 4 M&M’s and 500 Kit Kats to 8 M&M’s  12 out of 20 doctors agree and 12 out of 30 doctors agree The ratio of students in Ms. B’s classes that had HW was 8 to 2 and 80% of Mrs. Long’s class had HW   = ≠ =

Rates 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  

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? 45 . 1 or words per minute 45 = rate unit rate word form

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  

Try the Following Film costs $7.50 for 3 rolls 90 students and 5 teachers **Snowfall of 12 ¾ inches in 4 ½ hours. Ian drove 30 miles in 0.5 hours Drive 288 miles on 16 gallons of gas. Earn $49 for 40 hours of work Use 5 ½ quarts of water for every 2 lbs of chicken Sarah drove 5 miles in 20 minutes $2.50 per roll 18 mpg 18 students per teacher $1.23 per hour 2 5/6 per hour 2 ¾ quarts per lb 60 mph 15 mph

Complex Unit Rates Suppose a boat travels 12 miles in 2/3 hours How do you write this rate? Suppose a boat travels 12 miles in 2/3 hours How do you write this as a rate? How do you write this as a division problem? Determine the unit rate: 18mph

Suppose a boat travels 8 ¾ miles in 5/8 hours. How do you write this as a rate? How do you write this as a division problem? Determine the unit rate: 14 mph

Complex fractions are fractions that have fractions within them Complex fractions are fractions that have fractions within them. They are either in the numerator, denominator, or both. Divide complex fractions by multiplying (keep, change, change)

At SuperFoodz he can buy six boxes of pasta for $5. He divided 7 by 6 and got 1.166666667 at CornerMarket. He then divided 6 by 7 and got 0.85714286. He was confused. What do these numbers tell him about the price of boxes of pasta at CornerMarket? Decide which makes more sense to you Compare the two stores’ prices. Which store offers the better deal? 1.166667 is the number of boxes you can get for $1 0.85714286 is the price per box Price per box CM - $0.86 per box SF - $0.83 per box

Proportions

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.

Cost ($) 10 17 24 31 Tickets Ordered 1 2 3 4 Uptown Tickets charges $7 per baseball game ticket plus $2 processing fee per order. Is the cost of an order proportional to the number of tickets ordered? Make a table to show these amounts For each number of tickets, write the relationship of the cost of the and the number of tickets ordered. Are all the rates equivalent? Cost ($) 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.

Use the recipe to make fruit punch Use the recipe to make fruit punch. Is the amount of sugar used proportional to the amount of mix used? Explain. Yes, they all reduce to ½ In July, a paleontologist found 368 fossils at a dig. In August, she found about 14 fossils per day. Is the number of fossils the paleontologist found in August proportional to the number of days she spent looking for fossils that month? No, July average 11.87 fossils per day Cups of Sugar ½ 1 1 ½ 2 Envelopes of Mix 3 4

Solving Proportions

Determine if the following ratios are proportional? A proportion is two equivalent ratios When solving proportions we must first ask ourselves – “What are we comparing A lemonade recipe calls for ½ cup of mix for every quart of water. If Jeff wanted to make a gallon of lemonade, is 2 cups of mix proportional for this recipe? YES Determine if the following ratios are proportional? No, 340 ≠ 270 Yes, 72 = 72

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. Example: Determine if the two ratios are proportional: c. Yes 72 = 72 No 32 = 30 No 30 = 70

Example: Determine the value of x: Example: A stack of 2,450 one-dollar bills weighs five pounds. How much do 1,470 one-dollar bills weigh? Set up a proportion – ask ourselves “what are we comparing?” Example: Whitney earns $206.25 for 25 hours of work. At this rate, how much will Whitney earn for 30 hours of work? How much does Whitney earn per hour? x = 60 3 pounds $247.50 $8.25 per hour

Steps for Graphing

Draw and label the x and y axis – don’t forget your arrows Make a table of values to represent the problem. Be sure to include the values: -1, 0, 1, and 2 Graph your order pairs- you need at least 3 points to make a line Draw a line through the points – don’t forget your arrows If the line is straight and goes through the origin, then the quantities are proportional

Yes – it is a straight line through the origin Example: The slowest mammal on Earth is the tree sloth. It moves at a speed of 6 feet per minute. Determine whether the number of feet the sloth moves is proportional to the number of minutes it moves by graphing. Explain your reasoning. Number of Minutes 1 2 3 Number of Feet 6 12 18 y Yes – it is a straight line through the origin x

No – it is not a straight line and it doesn’t go through the origin Example: The table below shows the number of calories an athlete burned per minute of exercise. Determine whether the number of calories burned is proportional to the number of minutes by graphing. Explain your reasoning. Number of Minutes 1 2 3 Number of Feet 4 8 13 y No – it is not a straight line and it doesn’t go through the origin x

Slope

.Slope is the rate of change between any two points on a line The sign of the slope tells you whether the line is positive or negative. You can find slope of a line by comparing any two points on that line Slope is the or  

Positive Slope Negative Slope The line goes up 3 (rise) and over 1 (run). Slope = 3 The line goes down 2 (rise) and over 1 (run). Slope = -2

Tell whether the slope is positive or negative . Then find the slope
