  2. Ratio • A ___________ is a comparison of two numbers by division. • A ratio must be expressed in __________ . • Example #1: There are approximately 600 students at Lewisburg School. There are 30 teachers. What is the student to teacher ratio at Lewisburg School? Simplest Form 600/30 or 20/1

  3. 3 ways to write a ratio! • There were 6 chocolate donuts in the box of 12 donuts. • Part to Whole = = ** This can be expressed as: ** 1:2 1 to 2 ALL THREE OF THESE MEAN ~ 1 CHOCOLATE DONUT FOR EVERY 2 DONUTS.

  4. Equivalent Ratios • Two ratios are the same when put in simplest form. • Example – Are these two ratios equivalent?: • $4 for every 16 ounces $4/16 oz = • $10 for every 40 ounces $10/40 oz = • These two ratios are equivalent!! 1/4 1/4

  5. Choose a partner and take turns taking each others pulse for 2 minutes. • Count the number of beats for each of you. • Write the ratio beats to minutes as a fraction. 1st block

  6. A ___________ is a ratio that compares two different kinds of units. • Example: • Heartbeat example • Two Units = heartbeats and minutes Rate

  7. Unit Rate • A ____________ is a ratio that is simplified so that it has a denominator of ONE unit. • Examples: • I made $300 for 6 hours of work. Write the unit rate. • We drove 220 miles on 8 gallons of gas. Write the unit rate 300/6 = 50/1 220/8 = 27.5/1

  8. How to calculate unit rate? • Easiest way is to divide BOTH the numerator AND the denominator by the denominator. • Example #1:
