Find the Ratio…
On a set of house plans, an architect wants to represent
a 30ft length of a room by a 5 inch segment. What is the
ratio of the length of the segment to the length of the room?
A comparison of two numbers by division.
The two numbers must have the same unit of measure
Length of segment
5 inches
Length of room
30 ft
(x 12 inches) =

72
Convert feet to inches.
12 inches in 1 foot.
The ratio is 1 to 72.

Finding a Unit Rate
Arnold and Jena went mountain biking on some trails
in their town. Based on the information below, which
one of them rode at a faster pace?
Arnold rode 23 miles in 4 hours.
Jena rode 16 miles in 3.5 hours.
Arnold
23 miles
4 hours =
23 miles
4 hours

5.75 miles
4 = 1 hour
Jena
16 miles
3.5 hours
16 miles ÷ 3.5
3.5 hours ÷ 3.5
4.6 miles

Your basic monthly charge for cell phone service is $30, which
includes 300 free minutes. You pay a fee for each extra minute you use.
One month you paid $3.75 for 15 extra minutes. Find your total bill if you
use 22 extra minutes.
STEP 1 Calculate the unit rate.
3.75
15
0.25
=

= $.25 per minute
STEP 2
Write a verbal model and then an expression. Let m be the number of
extra minutes.
30
+
0.25
m
STEP 3
Evaluate the expression when m = 22.
30 + 0.25(22) = 35.5
Total Bill: $35.50
