Answer:

You can use similar processes when converting from smaller to larger units. When converting a larger unit to a smaller one, you multiply; when you convert a smaller unit to a larger one, you divide. Here is an example..

Volume of a cylinder=the area of the base multiply the height
Cylinder A's volume: pi*6*6*h=36*pi*h
Cylinder B's volume: pi*3*3*h=9*pi*h
so the fraction is 9/36=1/4

Give me example of a unit rate used in real life
lana66690 [7]

Before you begin this lesson, please print the accompanying document, Unit Rates in Everyday Life].

Have you ever been at the grocery store and stood, staring, at two different sizes of the same item wondering which one is the better deal? If so, you are not alone. A UNIT RATE could help you out when this happens and make your purchasing decision an easy one.

In this lesson, you will learn what UNIT RATES are and how to apply them in everyday comparison situations. Click the links below and complete the appropriate sections of the Unit Rates handout.

[Note: The links below were created using the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen. If you have never watched Livescribe media before, take a few minutes to watch this very brief Livescribe orientation]

Courtney is twice as old as Andre and three years older than Natalie. Courtney is half Shari's age. The difference between Shari
lesantik [10]

The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.

Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:

C = 2A

C = N + 3

C = S/2

S - N = C + A

S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have

2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2

C + 3 = C + C/2

C/2 = 3 and C = 6

A = C/2

A= 6/2

A = 3

N = C - 3

N = 6 - 3

N = 3

S = 2C

S = 2 x 6

S = 12.

C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12
