Alright! I'll help you. Let me tell you what's ratio, rate unit rates all about! :D
When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
What is the difference between a unit rate and a ratio?
Guide the discussion so that students understand that a ratio is simply the quotient of two numbers, while a rate is the ratio of two measurements that have different units (like miles and hours, or dollars and ounces). Reinforce the fact that a rate is usually expressed in per unit form, where the denominator is 1.
What are some examples of ratios?
In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second. For example, if a bowl of fruit contains eight oranges and six lemons, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).
Is a rate always a ratio?
Rates and ratios. ... A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1.
How do I find the unit rate?
To get the unit to equal 1, divide both numbers by the denominator; your answer is the number you get by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Use this method to calculate unit cost, too—you're calculating how much 1 item is worth, after you're given the amount that multiple items cost.
