Unit Conversions Using Equivalent Ratios

3.5 12.5 9 Warm Up 1.) 2.) 3.) Directions: Make equivalent ratios. OBJECTIVE SWBAT convert a measurement from one unit to another using equivalent ratios. LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE: SWBAT learn & use unit conversion vocabulary. Directions: Make equivalent ratios. x 3.5 x 2¼ x 2.5 1.) 2.) 3.) 3.5 12.5 9 x 3.5 x 2¼ x 2.5 Agenda

Launch - Vocabulary How many inches is 2 feet? 2 feet is 24 inches. Hint: There are 12 inches in 1 foot. 1 foot = 12 inches 2 feet = 24 inches Agenda

Launch - Vocabulary How many inches is 2 feet? 2 feet is 24 inches. You have just made a unit conversion. Feet and inches are the units of measure. 1 foot = 12 inches this is your conversion factor Today we will learn how to convert units with ratios. Agenda

Launch - Vocabulary One minute: Write the definitions of these terms on your worksheet. Conversion Units (of measure) Conversion Factor The act of changing from one thing to another A standard quantity used to measure. Example: inches, cm The ratio of a measurement in one unit to the equivalent numerical value in another unit. (ex. 12 inches/1 foot = 12/1 or 12) Agenda

Launch – Think, Write, Pair, Share Write: Write at least two different units for measuring in each category on your worksheet. 1 min Think: What are some units for measuring in each category below? 1 min Share: Students will be selected at random to share 3 units from each category. 1 min Pair: Talk to your elbow partner. Share units. Write Write down any units that you didn’t have before. 1 min Length Volume Weight Agenda

Explore Emily, Lilo, and Henry are going to go to Six Flags on a field trip. They all want to go on the Batman roller coaster ride, but they have to make sure they are each tall enough to go on the ride. Agenda

Explore Their teacher looks up the height requirement and it is 54 inches. The students know their heights in feet but not in inches. Help them to figure out if they are each tall enough to ride the Batman roller coaster. Agenda

Explore Emily Lilo Henry 4 feet, 4 inches 4 ½ feet 4 ¾ feet You must be 54 inches tall to ride the Batman roller coaster. Who can and who cannot go on this ride? Take 5 minutes to work on this problem on your own. Agenda

Explore Emily Lilo Henry 4 feet, 4 inches 4 ½ feet 4 ¾ feet You must be 54 inches tall to ride the Batman roller coaster. Who can and who cannot go on this ride? Share: How could we make this problem easier to do? Think, Write, Pair, Share: What makes this problem difficult? Write your thoughts on your worksheet. Then share with your partner. Agenda

New Skill – Unit Conversion Using Ratios We need to convert units! Vocabulary Let’s change the 54 inches to feet. First we need the unit conversion rate. Let’s look on a unit conversion table to find the information. 1 Agenda

Mini-Lesson: Unit Conversion Using Ratios A rate is a ratio showing the relationship of 2 different measurement units. Vocabulary Let’s change the 54 inches to feet. 1 First we need the unit conversion rate. Put your finger on the unit conversion rate. Agenda

Mini-Lesson: Unit Conversion Using Ratios Next we will write the conversion rate as a ratio in fraction form: 2 Does it matter if I write the ratio with 1 foot on the top or the bottom? or What do you think? This is a unit rate because it is 12 inches per 1 foot. A unit rate is a rate where one measurement has a value of 1. Vocabulary Agenda

3 Vocabulary Vocabulary Launch To convert 54 inches into feet means change Vocabulary To convert 54 inches into feet 3 we will make an equivalent ratio. We write the unit = conversion ratio as a rate in fraction form and set it equal to another ratio. Vocabulary Agenda

Launch We write the unit conversion ratio as a rate in fraction form and set it equal to another ratio. 3 = You could also write: = The important thing to remember is that the units on top must match. And the units on the bottom must match. Agenda

Launch Next we put in the number we are converting into the second ratio. We are 4 converting 54 inches into feet. Should we put 54 on the top or the bottom of the ratio? = Agenda

Launch Now, to find the feet, we need to find the factor we multiply by to make these two 5 ratios equivalent. That is, What do I multiply 12 by to get 54? Put your hand up when you think you know. = Where have we done this before in this lesson? x ? Equivalent means equal value. Vocabulary Agenda

Launch Next, to find the feet, we need to find the factor we multiply by to make these 2 ratios equivalent. 5 12 x ___ = 54 so… 54 ÷ 12 = ___ 4.5 = x ? Agenda

Launch I use the same factor top and bottom to make an equivalent ratio. 6 x 4.5 So, 54 inches = 4.5 feet 4.5 = Now we can solve the problem! x 4.5 4.5 is your conversion factor. Vocabulary Agenda

Launch Emily is 4 feet 4 inches Lilo is 4½ feet tall Henry is 4¾ feet tall You must be 54 inches or 4.5 feet to ride the coaster. Remember that 1 foot is 12 inches so 0.5 feet is 6 inches. So who can and who cannot ride Batman? Take a few minutes to find the answer to this question. Write it on your worksheet. Agenda

Launch Emily is 4 feet 4 inches Lilo is 4½ feet tall Time to Discuss It! Emily is 4 feet 4 inches Lilo is 4½ feet tall Henry is 4¾ feet tall You must be 54 inches or 4.5 feet to ride the coaster. Cannot go Can go Can go Lefty tell Righty: Explain how to use equivalent ratios to convert 54 inches to 4.5 feet. So who can and who cannot ride Batman? Righty tell Lefty: Explain how to use the 4.5 feet to solve the problem. Agenda

Practice Let’s practice setting up equivalent ratios to solve unit conversion problems. Practice Problem #1 2.5 yards = ____ feet First, find the conversion rate. Check your worksheet if you forget your vocabulary. Vocabulary Then, set up the conversion rate as a ratio in fraction form. Agenda

Practice Let’s practice setting up equivalent ratios to solve unit conversion problems. Practice Problem #1 2.5 yards = ____ feet First, find the conversion factor. Then, set up the conversion factor as a rate in fraction form. Agenda

Practice Let’s practice setting up equivalent ratios to solve unit conversion problems. Practice Problem #1 2.5 yards = ____ feet Now make another equivalent ratio. Units must be the same across the top and the bottom. = Agenda

Practice Let’s practice setting up equivalent ratios to solve unit conversion problems. Practice Problem #1 2.5 yards = ____ feet Find the conversion factor that we multiply or divide by to move from left to right. = 2.5 1 x ___ = 2.5 x 2.5 x ? Agenda

Practice Let’s practice setting up equivalent ratios to solve unit conversion problems. Practice Problem #1 2.5 yards = ____ feet 7.5 x 2.5 Multiply by the same factor top and bottom to make an equivalent ratio. 7.5 = 2.5 x 2.5 Agenda

Practice Practice Problem #2 28 fluid ounces = ____ cups Practice Problem #3 2¼ pounds = ____ ounces 3.5 36 x 2¼ x 3.5 x ? 3.5 2¼ = = 28 36 x 3.5 x ? x 2¼ Agenda
