Essential Question: How can I write ratios & unit rates to
compare quantities?

A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction.
For example: Your school’s basketball team has won 7 games
and lost 3 games. What is the ratio of wins to
losses?
Because we are comparing wins to losses the first
number in our ratio should be the number of wins and
the second number is the number of losses.
The ratio is
games
won
_________
=
games lost
7_______

Could we apply this concept?
1) You are shopping for T-shirts. Which store
offers the best deals?
Store A: $25 for 2 shirts
Store B: $45 for 4 shirts
Store C: $30 for 3 shirts
2) Which is the better buy?

Deal #2: $4.15 for 8 Bagels
In a ratio, if the numerator and denominator are measured in
different units then the ratio is called a rate.
A unit rate is a rate per one given unit, like 60 miles per 1 hour.
Example: You can travel 120 miles on 60 gallons of gas.
What is your fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?
________
miles = ________
2 miles
Rate = 120
60 gallons 1 gallon
Your fuel efficiency is 2 miles per gallon.
RATES
A rate is a ratio that compares quantities that
are measured in different units.
This spaceship travels at a certain speed.
Speed is an example of a rate.
Speed can be measured in many different ways.
This spaceship can travel
100 miles in 5 seconds. 100 miles in 5 seconds is a rate.
RATES
A rate is a ratio that compares quantities that
are measured in different units.
Rates are often written in fraction form.
100 miles in 5 seconds is a rate.

5
Seconds
RATES
A rate is a ratio that compares quantities that
