1. Ratios & Rates

2. Objective: 7.1.01 Develop and use ratios, proportions, and percents to solve problems. Essential Questions: What are the differences between ratios, rates, and unit rates? Ratios & Rates

3. Vocabulary: Ratio: a comparison of two numbers by division. Equivalent Ratios: two or more ratios that form equivalent fractions. (Example: 1/2 = 5/10) Rate: a ratio of two measurements having different kinds of units. (Example: buy 7 pencils for $2) Unit Rate: a rate that has been simplified so it has a denominator of 1. (Examples: $9 per pound; 6 ounces per serving) Ratios & Rates
