A blank is a unit rate with a denominator of 1 unit. What is the the blank?

1 answer:

4 0

A unit rate is a ratio that has a denominator of 1. A unit rate is also called a unit ratio. (They mean the same thing.)

\frac{5}{4} and 3:8 and 40\mbox{ to }10 are ratios, but they are not unit ratios.

\frac{1.25}{1} and 0.375:1 and 4\mbox{ to }1 are unit ratios.

Any ratio can be converted into a unit ratio by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.

Help. Solving Multi Step Ratio Problems!

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Part 1) $30\ coupons$

Part 2) $12\ sandwiches$

Part 3) $60\ push-ups$

Part 4) $96\ minutes$

Part 5) $\$95$

Part 6) $1\frac{7}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

At the Green House of Salad , you get a $1 coupon for every 3 salads you buy

Using proportion

Find out the number of salads you could buy to get $10 in coupons

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{x} \\\\x=3(10)\\\\x=30\ coupons$

Part 2) we know that

Kim orders catering for $35

She spend $5 on a large order of potato salad and the rest on turkey sandwiches

Each sandwich is $2.50

How many sandwiches does Kim buy?

step 1

Find out how many Kim spent on turkey sandwiches

Subtract $5 from $35

35-5=$30

step 2

Using proportion, find out the number of sandwiches

$\frac{1}{2.50}=\frac{x}{30}\\\\x=30/2.50\\\\x= 12\ sandwiches$

Part 3) we know that

Molly does 10 push-ups at the same time as Liza does 15 push-ups

Using proportion

Find out how many push-ups Liza does when Molly does 40 push-ups

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{40}{x}\\\\x=15(40)/10\\\\x=60\ push-ups$

Part 4) we know that

A shark swim at a speed of 25 miles per hour

The shark rest after 40 miles

How long in minutes, does the shark swim before resting?

Using proportion

Find out how long in minutes the shark swim 40 miles

Remember that

$1\ h=60\ min$

$\frac{25}{60}\ \frac{miles}{minutes}=\frac{40}{x}\ \frac{miles}{minutes}\\\\x=60(40)/25\\\\x=96\ minutes$

Part 5) we know that

For every bar of soap that Aly sells, she earns $5

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Aly

Aly sells 5 bars of soap and Janet sells 7 mugs

How much money did they make altogether?

step 1

Find out the amount earned by Aly

using proportion

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\x=5(5)\\\\x=\$25$

step 2

Find out the amount earned by Janet

Remember that

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Aly

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns 2($5)=$10

using proportion

$\frac{1}{10}=\frac{7}{x}\\\\x=10(7)\\\\x=\$70$

step 3

Adds the amount earned by Aly plus the amount earned by Janet

$25+70=\$95$

Part 6) we know that

Ted is making trail mix for a party

He mixes 1 1/2 cups of nuts, 1/4 cup of rising and 1/4 cup of pretzel

How many cups of pretzel does Ted need to make 15 cups of trail mix?

Adds the quantities

$1\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4}=2\ cups\ of \ trail\ mix$

That means

For every 2 cups of trail mix we need 1/4 cup of pretzel

using proportion

Find out how many cups of pretzel does Ted need to make 15 cups of trail mix

$\frac{2}{(1/4)}=\frac{15}{x}\\\\x=15(1/4)/2\\\\x=\frac{15}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$

What is the rate of change of the perimeter of the square at the instant the area is 49 m2?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Let x = the length of a side of the square (m).
The area is
A = x²
The perimeter is
P = 4x

The rate of change of P with respect to x is
P'(x) = 4 (independent of x)

When A = 49 m², then x = 7 m.
The rate of P is 4.
