Mr rowley has 16 homework papers and 14 exit tickets to return. Ms ribera has 64 homework papers and 60 exit tickets to return.
For each teacher, write a ratio to represent the number of homework papers to number of exit tickets they have to return. Are the ratios equivalent? Explain.
Mr. Rowley has 16 homework papers to 14 exit tickets; Ms. Rivera has 64 homework papers to 60 exit tickets. No, the ratios are not equivalent because Mr. Rowley’s unit rate is 8/7, or approximately 1.14, and Ms. Rivera’s unit rate is 16/15, or approximately 1.07
