Notes: Ratios are written as 3:2, 3 to 2, 3/2. A ratio is an ordered pair of non-negative numbers, which are not both zero. Ratios are written as 3:2, 3 to 2, 3/2. The order of the pair of numbers matters. The description of the ratio relationship determines the correct order of the numbers.

Discuss in your groups some possibilities. Check It Out! Example 1 The Knox soccer team has four times as many boys on it as it has girls. We say the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls on the team is 4:1. We read this as “four to one.” Let’s make a table to show the possibilities of the number of boys and girls on the soccer team. Discuss in your groups some possibilities.

Check It Out! Example 1: Table # of boys # of girls Total # of players 4 1 5 What are some other options that show four times as many boys as girls or a ratio of boys to girls of 4 to 1? Add your options to your table. Suppose the ratio of number of boys to girls on the team is 3 to 2. Create a new table to show these ratio options.

Notes: Another Way to Show Ratios: Tape Diagram or Bar Model: One bar for each number. There are 4 boys to every 2 girls: Boys Girls

Class Ratios Find the ratio of boys to girls in our class. Write your ratios in 3 ways: Is the ratio of the number of girls to boys the same as the ratio of boys to girls? When writing Ratios: ORDER MATTERS!!

Class Ratios: Group Practice Record a ratio for each of the examples Mrs. Tanaka provides. Find the ratio of boys to girls in our class. You traveled out of state this summer. You are an only child. Your favorite class is math. You have at least one sibling. Your favorite food is spaghetti.

Group Work: Using words, describe a ratio that represents each ratio below. Example:1 to 12: for every one year, there are twelve months 12 to 1 2 to 5 5 to 2 10 to 2 2 to 10

New Learning: Equivalent Ratios Notes Ratios that make the same comparison are equivalent ratios. Equivalent ratios represent the same point on the number line. To check whether two ratios are equivalent, you can write both in simplest form.

Example : Determining Whether Two Ratios Are Equivalent Simplify to tell whether the ratios are equivalent. Since , the ratios are equivalent. 1 9 = 3 27 A. and 2 18 3 27 = = 3 ÷ 3 27 ÷ 3 1 9 2 18 = = 2 ÷ 2 18 ÷ 2 1 9 12 15 B. and 27 36 12 15 = = 12 ÷ 3 15 ÷ 3 4 5 Since , the ratios are not equivalent. 4 5  3 27 36 = = 27 ÷ 9 36 ÷ 9 3 4

Practice: Are they Equivalent?

Draw a tape diagram to represent this ratio. Shanni and Mel are using ribbon to decorate a project in their art class. The ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon is 7:3. Draw a tape diagram to represent this ratio. Shanni Mel What does each unit on the tape diagram represent? What if each unit on the tape represents 1 inch? What are the lengths of the ribbons now? Write the ratio 3 ways. What if each unit represents 3 inches? Write the ratio 3 ways. 7:3, 7 to 3, 7/3 21:6, 21 to 6, 21/6

Are these ratios equivalent? Discuss in your group. Group Practice: Mason and Laney ran laps for the long-distance running team. The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3. Draw a tape diagram. If Mason ran 4 miles, how far did Laney run? Draw a tape diagram to demonstrate how you found your answer. If Laney ran 930 meters, how far did Mason run? Draw a tape diagram to determine how you found your answer. Are these ratios equivalent? Discuss in your group. 6 miles 620 m

Notes: Ratio Relationships Part to Part, Part to Whole, Whole to Part Part to Part: Comparing two parts Part to Whole: Comparing one part to the total amount Whole to Part: Comparing the whole amount to one part

Example: Ratio Relationships Part to Part, Part to Whole, Whole to Part Gretchen checked out 3 mystery novels and 2 adventure novels from the library. Part to Part: 3:2 and 2:3 Part to Whole: 3 to 5 and 2 to 5 Whole to Part: 5/3 and 5/2

Group Practice Mrs. Tanaka has 25 students in her math class. 16 of those students are boys and 9 students are girls. Write ratios for the following: Part to Part: Part to Whole: Whole to Part: 16 to 9, 9 to 16 16 to 25, 9 to 25 25: 16, 25:9

RP.02: I can use a ratio relationship to understand unit rate. Today’s Objective: RP.02: I can use a ratio relationship to understand unit rate.

A rate is a comparison of two quantities that have different units that do not cancel out. A unit rate is one in which the denominator is 1. Rates are often written using a slash (/) which is read “per”. Examples: 50 miles per hour = 50mi/h(mph) 32 miles per gallon = 32mi/gal(mpg) 20 dollars per hour = $20/h

Notes: Unit Rates A unit price is the ratio of price to the number of units. Example: John went to McDonald’s and paid $40 for 5 hamburgers. What was the cost of each hamburger? What do we know? $40 = ????? 5 hamburgers 1 hamburger $40 ÷ 5 = $8 Each hamburger cost $8.00.

Another Example Unit Rate: 2.99 dollars per pound or $2.99/lb A baker buys 25 lb of flour for $74.75. What is the rate or unit price in dollars per pound? Since we are asked for the rate in dollars per pound, the monetary amount must be in the numerator. Unit Rate: 2.99 dollars per pound or $2.99/lb One pound of flour will cost $2.99 per pound.

Notes: Unit Rates Finding unit rates does not always involve money. Example: It took a pet store 10 weeks to sell 80 cats. What is the rate sold per week? 80 cats = ???cats 10 weeks 1 week

Group Work: Find the unit rate of each problem. (Use your whiteboards) A jogger travelled 50 kilometers in 5 days. What is the rate he travelled per day? For every _______ kilometers travelled, it took ____ day/s. A fair owner made 18 dollars when a group of 3 people entered, which is a rate of _______ per person. A candy company used 8 gallons of syrup to make 4 batches of candy. What is the rate of syrup per batch? 10 1 6 2

Unit prices often vary with the size of the item being sold. Many factors can contribute to determining unit pricing in food, such as variations in store pricing and special discounts. Compare unit prices to determine the best buy for a certain item that is sold in various size containers.

Example Size Price Unit Price 8 oz $1.99 24.875 ¢/oz 12 oz $2.99 Find the unit price of a 32 oz bottle of household cleaner and then decide which is the best purchase based on the unit price per ounce. How much will one ounce cost? Size Price Unit Price 8 oz $1.99 24.875 ¢/oz 12 oz $2.99 24.917 ¢/oz 16 oz $3.49 21.813 ¢/oz 32 oz $6.29 Based on unit price alone the 32-oz size is the best buy. 19.656 ¢/oz The unit price for the 32-oz size is given by

Laundry Detergent Comparison A box of Brand A laundry detergent washes 20 loads of laundry and costs $6. A box of Brand B laundry detergent washes 15 loads of laundry and costs $5. What are some equivalent loads? Brand A Loads washed 20 Cost $6 In the ratio tables that follow, fill in equivalent rates of loads washed per dollar. Include some examples where the number of loads washed is less than 15 and the cost is less than $5. Explain your reasoning. Brand B Loads washed 15 Cost $5

Study sheet for Unit Rates Test: Wednesday A unit price is the ratio of price to the number of units. Practice: If a baker makes 2 dozen donuts in half an hour, how many dozens of donuts can he make in three hours? Make a tape diagram to solve. Wal-Mart sells a 14 ounce of Cheerios for $3.98. What would be the unit price of each ounce. Round if needed.

More Practice: Kneaders sells cinnamon muffins for $0.75 each. Mostly Muffins sells a dozen muffins for $7.20. Compare the unit prices and determine the difference in cost. Which place offers the better buy? Daja’s hamster gained 5 ounces in 4 weeks. If the hamster gained the same amount of weight each week, write a ratio to calculate how many ounces the hamster would have gained in 7 weeks. Explain your reasoning in a complete sentence. Draw a bar diagram to solve.

More Practice Saul went shopping for marbles. He finds a container of 3 bags for $3.45 and a container of 7 bags for $9.73. Find the unit rate of each container and then state which container is the better buy. Explain your reasoning in complete sentences.
