Answer:

Let's talk about ratios and proportions. When we talk about the speed of a car or an airplane we measure it in miles per hour. This is called a rate and is a type of ratio. A ratio is a way to compare two quantities by using division as in miles per hour where we compare miles and hours.

A ratio can be written in three different ways and all are read as "the ratio of x to y"

xtoy

x:y

A proportion on the other hand is an equation that says that two ratios are equivalent. For instance if one package of cookie mix results in 20 cookies than that would be the same as to say that two packages will result in 40 cookies.

201=402

A proportion is read as "x is to y as z is to w"

xy=zwwherey,w≠0

If one number in a proportion is unknown you can find that number by solving the proportion.

The top of a table is a parallelogram with a base of 28 cm and a height of 20 cm. Patty wants to cover the table with tiles that

suter [353]

The area of the top of the table is 28 × 20 = 560 cm2. The area of Patty’s tiles is 8 cm2 each and the area of Jake’s tiles is 9 cm2 each. Patty will need 560 ÷ 8, or 70, tiles. Jake will need 560 ÷ 9, or about 63, tiles. So, Patty will use about 7 more tiles.
