Dr. Oz’ Green Drink

Writing Ratios Example 1 The recipe calls for the juice of 1 lime and the juice of half a lemon. To double the recipe, it would be the 2 limes and 1 lemon. The ratio stays the same. Write each ratio in all three forms. 2:12 to 1

A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units. In 21 minutes I run 3 miles, my “rate of travel” is. Ratios and Rates: “What’s the difference?”

Rates and Unit Rates: If the measure of the second quantity is one unit, then the rate is a “unit rate.” To change a rate to a unit rate, divide both numerator and the denominator by the number in the denominator.

Writing Rates and Unit Rates Find the Unit Rates and write them in both fraction and word form. “Leonard hiked 36 miles in 9 hours.” Rate in fraction form. Unit rate in fraction form. Unit rate in word form. “4 miles per hour”

Writing Rates and Unit Rates A recipe for cookie icing says to mix 8 tablespoons of milk with 4 cups of sugar. Rate in fraction form. Unit rate in fraction form. Unit rate in word form. 4 tablespoons of milk per cup of sugar.

To compare the actual cost of two similar items we can use “Unit price.” To compare which case is a better value, divide the actual price by the number of bottles in the package.

A 24-pack costs $4.99 and a 30-pack costs $5.99. Which one is “cheaper”? By dividing, we find the 24-pack costs about $0.21 per bottle. The 30-pack costs around $0.20 per bottle. The difference is $0.02 per bottle.

Writing Equivalent Ratios Equivalent ratios are ratios that name the same comparison. You can find an equivalent ratio by multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same number. (The procedure is the same as finding equivalent fractions.)

Writing Equivalent Ratios The ratio of Adelie Penguins to Emperor Penguins is: To find an equivalent ratio:

Ratios and Percents A percent is a ratio of a number to 100. The symbol % is used to indicate that a number is a percent. For example, 40% is the ratio 40 to 100, or. Percents can be written as fractions or as decimals.

Write Percents as Fractions Write 35% as a fraction in simplest form. 35% = = Write the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Simplify.

Writing Percents as Decimals Write 43% as a decimal. 43% = = 0.43 Write the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Write the fraction as a decimal.

Writing Decimals as Percents Write each decimal as a percent = = 7% Write the decimal as a fraction. Write the fraction as a percent.

Writing Fractions as Percents Write each fraction as a percent. = Write an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. Write the fraction as a percent.

-Using Division = 3 ÷ 8 = =37.5% Use division to write the fraction as a decimal. Write the decimal as a percent.

Conclusion: A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division. It can be expressed three different ways. A rate is a type of ratio that compares quantities of different units. “miles per gallon,” “kilometers per hour” are examples of rates. Percent is a ratio which compares a number to 100.
