Ratios and Proportions CHAPTER 8

Ratios 8.1 Ratio- Uses division to compare two numbers. Equivalent ratios- Two ratios are equivalent ratios when they have the same value.

Writing a Ratio WORDS Wins to losses wins losses Wins:Losses ALGEBRA  A to B, where b is nonzero AA B, where B is nonzero  A:B where B is nonzero NUMBERS  18 to 13   18:13

Writing Ratios in Simplest Form A water ride lasts 2 min. Suppose you wait in line for 1 ½ hours to ride the water ride. Follow the steps below to find the ratio of time spent in line to time spent on the water ride. Write hours as minutes so that the units are the same. 1h+1/2h=60min+30min =90 min Write the ratio of time spent in line to time spent on the ride. Time in line= 90 Time on ride 2 = 45 1

Comparing Ratios Nicole and Taylor compared their CD collections. To determine who has a greater ratio of rock CDs to pop CDs, write the ratios. RockPopHip- Hop Nicole Taylor Taylor: Rock = 42 Pop 70 =0.6 Nicole: Rock =9 Pop 24 =0.375

Rates 8.2 Rate- is a ratio of two quantities measured in different units. Unit Rate- is a rate that has a denominator of 1 unit rates below are equivalent.

Finding a Unit Rate During Spring, a sunflower can grow 6 in. in 12 hrs. What is the growth rate of Sunflower in in. per hour? 6in.= 6in./12 12h 12h/12 Divide numerator and denominator by 12 = 0.5 in. simplify 1 h Answer: The growth rate of Sunflower is about 0.5 in. per hour.

Finding an average speed An ice skater took 2 min. 30 sec. to complete a 1500 meter race. What was the skater’s average speed? -Divide numerator and denominator by Simplify Rewrite the time so that the units are the same. 2min+30sec=120sec+ 30sec=150sec Find the average speed 1500m=1500m/ sec 150sec/150 =10m 1sec Answer: the ice skater’s average speed was 10m per sec.

Writing and solving proportions 8.4 Proportion- is an equation that states that two ratios are equivalent.

Proportions Numbers: 3 = 6 The Proportion is read 5 10 “3 is to 5 as 6 is to 10.” Algebra: a = c Where b and d are b d nonzero numbers.

Solving proportions Solve: 6 = x Write original proportion x 6 = 25x x Multiply each side by = X Simplify 10 15=x Simplify Fraction Answer: The solution is 15.

Solving proportions Using Cross Products 8.5 Cross Products- In a proportion a/b = c/d where b = 0, the cross products are ad and bc

Cross products property Words: The cross products of a proportion are equal Numbers: 3 = 15 4 x 15 = x 20 = 60 Algebra: If a/b = c/d where b and d are nonzero numbers, then ad = bc.

Solving a Proportion Using Cross Products Use the cross products property to solve: 4/8 = 5/d. 1.Write original proportion. 2/1 = 6/d 2.Cross products property. 2d = 1 x 6 3.Divide each side by 2. 2d/2 = 1 x 6/2 4.Simplify d = 3

Scale Drawings and Models 8.6 Scale drawing- a diagram of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object. Scale- On a scale drawing tells how the drawing’s are related. Scale model- a model of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.

Finding a Dimension on a Scale Model A scale model of the White House appears Japan. The scale used is 1:2. The height h of the main building of the White House is 76ft. Find the height on the Model. 1 = h scale model 2 76 building 1 x 76 = 2 x h Cross products property. 38 = h divide each side by 2.
