Lesson 3 Target I will develop an intuitive understanding of equivalent ratios by using tape diagrams to solve problems when the part-to-part ratio is given and the value of one of the quantities is given. I will formalize a definition of equivalent ratios.
Classwork Exercise 1: 5 minutes Lesson 3 Share your sentences with each other in pairs or trios. Then I will ask a few of you to share with the whole class.
Read the problem then describe in detail what the problem is about. Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Read the problem then describe in detail what the problem is about.
Let’s represent this ratio in a table! Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9 Let’s represent this ratio in a table!
Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 We can use a tape diagram to represent the ratio of the lengths of ribbon. Let’s create one together. Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
What does each unit on the tape diagram represent? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 We don’t know yet, but each unit represents some unit that is a length.
What if each unit on the tape diagrams represents 1 inch What if each unit on the tape diagrams represents 1 inch? What are the lengths of the ribbons? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
Shanni’s ribbon is 7 inches; Mel’s ribbon is 3 inches. Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni’s ribbon is 7 inches; Mel’s ribbon is 3 inches.
What is the ratio of the lengths of the ribbons? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
7:3 and I don’t need to add units! Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3
What if each unit on the tape diagrams represents 2 meters What if each unit on the tape diagrams represents 2 meters? What are the lengths of the ribbons? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
Shanni’s ribbon is 14 meters; Mel’s ribbon is 6 meters. Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni’s ribbon is 14 meters; Mel’s ribbon is 6 meters.
What is the ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon now if each unit represents 2 meters? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
You are so wrong! It is 7:3. It is 14:6. Classwork Lesson 3 Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 You are so wrong! It is 7:3. It is 14:6.
Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Who is right?
What if each unit represents 3 inches What if each unit represents 3 inches? What are the lengths of the ribbons? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Shanni’s is 21 inches. Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9 Mel’s is 9 inches.
7 times 3 equals 21; 3 times 3 equals 9. Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 7 times 3 equals 21; 3 times 3 equals 9. How do you know?
IF each of the units represents 3 inches, what is the ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel 21:9 Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
We just explored three different possibilities for the length of the ribbon; did the number of units in our tape diagrams ever change? Classwork Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni Mel Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9
Mathematicians call these ratios equivalent. Classwork Lesson 3 Exercise 2: 15 minutes Lesson 3 Shanni’s Ribbon Mel’s Ribbon 7 3 14 6 21 9

Jasmine drank 𝟒 cups of milk, and Brenda drank 𝟔 cups of milk Jasmine drank 𝟒 cups of milk, and Brenda drank 𝟔 cups of milk. Since each pint represents 𝟐 cups, I multiplied Jasmine’s 𝟐 pints by 𝟐 and multiplied Brenda’s 𝟑 pints by 𝟐.
4:6
𝟐: 𝟑 and 𝟒: 𝟔 are equivalent because they represent the same value 𝟐: 𝟑 and 𝟒: 𝟔 are equivalent because they represent the same value. The diagrams never changed, only the value of each unit in the diagram.
