Learning Objective:'We'will'compute'unit'rates'associated'with'ratios'of'
quantities'measured'in'different'units.'(G7M1L1)'
'

Concept Development:

Ratio:'A'ratio'is'a'pair'of'nonFnegative'numbers,'both'of'which'are'not'zero.''The'
ratio'is'denoted'A:B'to'indicate'the'order'of'the'numbers:'the'number'A'is'the'first'
number'and'the'number'B'is'the'second.'
Examples:''
There'are'22'girls'and'11'boys'in'this'class.''The'ratio'of'girls'to'boys'is'22:11.''
Ian'drinks'24'cans'of'diet'soda'in'8'days.'The'ratio'of'cans'to'days'is'24:8.''
'
'
'
Equivalent-Ratio:'Two'ratios'!: !!and!!: !'are'equivalent'if'there'is'a'positive'
number'c,'such'that'! = !"!and!! = !".'
Example:'In'their'last'basketball'game,'Lauren'took'8'shots'and'made'5.'Jami'took'16'
shots'and'made'10.'8:5'and'16:10'are'equivalent'ratios.'
'
'
'
'
Rate:'A'ratio'of'two'quantities.'''
Examples:''
!!
22'girls'per'11'boys'in'1st'period.'Written'as'a'fraction:'!!.'

!"

Madison'can'do'45'pushups'in'60'seconds.'Written'as'a'fraction:'!"!'
!

Christian'can'run'9'miles'in'2'hours.'Written'as'a'fraction:'!'
'
'
'
Unit-Rate:'the'value'of'the'ratethat'is'the'value'of'the'fraction'above'where'the'
denominator'is'1.''
Examples:''
!!
The'unit'rate'of'!!'is'2.'This'means'there'are'2'girls'per'boy'in'this'class.''
'
!"
The'unit'rate'of'!"'is'0.75.'This'means'Madison'can'do'0.75'pushups'per'second.'
'
!
The'unit'rate'of'!'is'4.5.'This'means'that'Christian'can'run'4.5'miles'per'hour.'

Guided Practice:
Steps-to-Calculating-Unit-Rates1.'Read'the'question'carefully'and'create'your'ratio'and'rate.'
**Hint-#1:-If/time/is/one/of/your/variables,/it/usually/goes/in/the/denominator.**Hint-#2:-If/price/is/one/of/your/variables,/it/usually/goes/in/the/numerator.-

2.'Calculate'the'unit'rate'by'dividing'the'numerator'and'denominator'of'your'rate'by'
the'denominator'(to'create'a'rate'where'the'denominator'is'1).'
3.'Interpret'your'answer'in'the'context'of'the'question.''
