Answer:

A proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Example : $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{9}$

We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.

Example : $\frac{distance}{time}$

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

Example : 1 : 3 or $\frac{1}{3}$

PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS 6th GRADE MATH

8090 [49]

Answer:

$b = l\times w$ to guarantee that both formulas are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensionally speaking, the volume is the cube of length. By direct comparison, we find that $l,w,h$ have length units, whereas $b$ have area unit, that is, the square of length.

Hence, $b = l\times w$ to guarantee that both formulas are the same.
