  1. Rate Zigila 2005 – Comparing & Scaling

  2. Rate • Ratio that compares two different kinds of numbers • Unit rate = compares a quantity to its unit of measure • The word “per” is a clue that you are dealing with a rate. • The word “per” means to divide

  3. Rate • Important type of ratio used in many real-world scenarios • Grocery shopping, traveling, medicine, etc. • Rates of speed • Heartbeats per minute = heart rate

  4. Unit price is the price for one item Miles per hour Miles per gallon Calories per serving Dollars per hour People per square mile Land per person Cost/item Miles/hour Miles/gallon Calories/serving size Dollars/time (hours) Population/area Area/population Unit rate

  5. Unit Rate • To find the unit rate: simply divide the multiple-unit rate by the number of units • For example: When the 7th grade goes on their perk trip there are 165 students and 3 busses, how many students per bus? • Divide your multiple-unit rate (165 students) by the number of units (3 busses). • What is your answer?

  6. Unit Rate • Find the unit price • If potatoes cost $5.50 for 5 pounds, what does it cost for 1 pound? • Divide your multiple-unit rate ($5.50) by the number of units (5 lbs). • What is your answer?

  7. Rates • Rates can be seen in proportions to solve unknown quantities. • During spring break, the Harlands traveled 495 miles at 55 mph on their motorcycle. How long did the trip take? • Set up your proportion: 55 = 495 1 t • Cross multiply: 55t = 495 • Divide both sides by 55 to find t • t = ?

  8. Rates • Mike works 60 hours per 3 weeks. At that rate, how many hours will he work in 12 weeks? • Set up your proportion • Cross multiply • Divide both sides by 3 to find h. • h = ?

  9. Rates What does h =? a.) He will work .6 of an hour b.) He will work 240 hours c.) He will work 15 hours

  10. Rates Check the set up of your proportion. Remember it is 60 per 3 so it should look like: 60 = x 3 12

  11. Rates b.) He will work 240 hours. You are correct!

  12. Rate of speed • If you rode your bike for 2 hours and traveled 24 miles, what is your rate of speed? • You drove 135 miles for 3 hours, what was your rate of speed?

  13. Rate of speed • Divide your multiple-unit rate (24 miles) by the number of units (2 hours) and that will give you miles per hour. • What is your rate of speed?

  14. Rate of speed • Divide your multiple-unit rate by the number of units and that gives you miles per hour. • What is your rate of speed? a.) 405 mph b.) 54 mph c.) 45 mph

  15. Rate of speed a.) 405 mph Make sure that you are dividing and not multiplying.

  16. Rate of speed b.) 54 mph Look at your answer more carefully!

  17. Rate of speed c.) 45 mph You are correct!

  18. Rate practice • Write a ratio for each and find the unit rate. 1.) 142 heartbeats per 2 minutes 2.) $3.30 for 10 stamps 3.) 1.5 pound for $3.49 4.) One animal can run 60 feet in 4 seconds, while another animal can run 100 feet in 8 seconds. Which animal runs the fastest?

  19. Population density • A term that describes the number of people in an area in relation to the size of that area. • Divide the number of people by the area they occupy. • Population density = population/land area

  20. Population density • As of 2000, Michigan’s population was 9,295,297 and its area in square miles is 56,809.2 • What is Michigan’s population density (population per square mile)?

  21. Population density • As of 2000, Crawford County’s population was 12,260 and its area is 558.2 square miles. • What is the population density for Crawford County? (population per square mile)

  22. Rate of speed Notice that the 55 and 495 are on top. 55 = 495 1 t Also notice that the speed was 55 miles per hour – that is why in the proportion you see 55 over 1. Miles hours

  23. Rate practice • Go to the website below and do the practice problems. You need to get 10 correct – inform a teacher when you have done so! • Good luck! • http://www.math.com/school/subject1/practice/S1U2L3/S1U2L3Pract.html Where did I get my information?
