Answers:
What is the ratio? 120:2
What is the unit rate? 60:1
What is the rate? 60 jumping jacks per minute
===================================================
Further Explanation:
To find the ratio of jumping jacks to minutes, you just write the two values 120 and 2 separated by a colon. That's how we get 120:2 as our first answer.
--------
Once we have 120:2, we divide both parts by 2 to get 60:1
120/2 = 60
2/2 = 1
The reason why we do this is so that the "2 minutes" turns into "1 minute". A unit ratio has the time value in unit increments so we can see how many jumping jacks Samuel can do. Writing "60:1" means "60 jumping jacks in 1 minute"
-------
Saying "60 jumping jacks in 1 minute" is the same as saying "60 jumping jacks per minute", which is similar to a car's speed of something like 60 miles per hour. The unit "X per Y" is the template for speed, where X is the number of items you get done and Y is the unit of time. In this case, X = 60 jumping jacks and Y = 1 minute.
