3. I N THE REAL WORLD Baseball How can you compare a baseball team’s wins to its losses during spring training? A ratio uses division to compare two numbers. There are three ways to write a ratio of two numbers.

4. W RITING A RATIO All three ways of writing the ratio of two numbers are read “the ratio of a to b,” so 18 : 13 is read “the ratio of eighteen to thirteen.” Two ratios are equivalent ratios when they have the same value.

5. E XAMPLE 1 W RITING A RATIO 1. You can make comparisons about games played by the Cubs. a. Wins to losses wins = 17, losses = 14 Answer: _______ b. Wins to games played wins = 17, games = 17 + 14 = 31 Answer: _________

6. Y OUR T URN Use the table above to write the ratio for the Padres. 1. Wins to losses 2. Wins to games played 3. Losses to wins

10. L ESSON 2: R ATES A rate is a ratio of two quantities measured in different units. A unit rate is a rate that has a denominator of 1 unit. The three unit rates below are equivalent. In the third rate, “per” means “for every.”

11. E XAMPLE 1 F INDING A U NIT R ATE Kudzu During peak growing season, the kudzu vine can grow 6 inches in 12 hours. What is the growth rate of kudzu in inches per hour? Solution First, write a rate comparing the inches grown to the hours it took to grow. Then rewrite the fraction so that the denominator is 1. ANSWER The growth rate of kudzu is about 0.5 inch per hour.

12. Y OUR TURN : F IND THE UNIT RATE 1. $54 in 6 hours 2. 68 miles in 4 days 3. 2 cups in 8 servings 1. Average Speed If you know the distance traveled and the travel time for a moving object, you can find the average rate, or average speed, by dividing the distance by the time.

13. E XAMPLE 2 F INDING AN A VERAGE S PEED Speed Skating A skater took 2 minutes 30 seconds to complete a 1500 meter race. What was the skater’s average speed? Rewrite the time so that the units are the same. 2 min + 30 sec = 120 sec + 30 sec = 150 sec Find the average speed.

16. L ESSON 3: S LOPE & U NIT R ATES The slope of a nonvertical line is the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between any two points on the line, as shown below. A line has a constant slope.

17. E XAMPLES OF LINES WITH POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, AND ZERO SLOPES ARE SHOWN The slope of a vertical line is undefined

18. E XAMPLE 1 F INDING THE S LOPE OF A L INE To find the slope of a line, find the ratio of the rise to the run between two points on the line a. b.

19. E XAMPLE 2 I NTERPRETING S LOPE AS A U NIT R ATE Slope as a rate – When the graph of a line represents a real-world situation, the slope of the line can often be interpreted as a rate. Volcanoes The graph represents the distance traveled by a lava flow over time. To find the speed of the lava flow, find the slope of the line.

20. Y OUR T URN 1. Plot the points (3, 4) and (6, 3). Then find the slope of the line that passes through the points. 2. In Example 2, suppose the line starts at the origin and passes through the point (3, 6). Find the speed of the lava flow.

23. L ESSON 4: W RITING AND S OLVING P ROPORTIONS Sports A person burned about 150 calories while skateboarding for 30 minutes. About how many calories would the person burn while skateboarding for 60 minutes? In Example 1, you will use a proportion to answer this question. A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equivalent. Algebra =, where b and d are nonzero numbers.

24. E XAMPLE 1 U SING E QUIVALENT R ATIOS Sports A person burned about 150 calories while skateboarding for 30 minutes. About how many calories would the person burn while skateboarding for 60 minutes? In Example 1, you will use a proportion to answer this question. To find the number C of calories the person would burn while skateboarding for 60 minutes, solve the proportion =. Answer: Ask yourself, what number can you multiply by 30 to get 60? The answer is 2. So, multiply 150 x 2 to get 300. So the person would burn about 300 calories while skateboarding for 60 minutes.
