Unit: a fixed quantity
Numerator: tells how many equal parts are
described – (top number in a fraction)
Denominator: tells the whole amount being
described – (bottom number in a fraction)
Reciprocals: two numbers that have a product of
1: ¾ and 4/3 are reciprocals because they equal
12/12 or 1.
Essential Questions
Skip 3 lines between questions.
1. What is a ratio? How is a ratio different from a
fraction?
2. What is a unit rate? How does it compare two
quantities?
3. How can a ratio be used to solve for a missing
value?
Notes:
A ratio is an ordered pair of non-negative
numbers, which are not both zero.
Ratios are written as 3:2, 3 to 2, 3/2.
The order of the pair of numbers matters.
The description of the ratio relationship
determines the correct order of the numbers.
Check It Out! Example 1
The Knox soccer team has four times as many
boys on it as it has girls. We say the ratio of
the number of boys to the number of girls on
the team is 4:1. We read this as “four to one.”
Let’s make a table to show the possibilities of
the number of boys and girls on the soccer
team.
Discuss in your groups some possibilities.
Check It Out! Example 1: Table
# of boys
4
# of girls
Total # of players
1
5
What are some other options that show four times as many boys as
girls or a ratio of boys to girls of 4 to 1? Add your options to your
table.
Suppose the ratio of number of boys to girls on the team is 3 to
2.
Create a new table to show these ratio options.
Notes: Another Way to Show Ratios:
Tape Diagram or Bar Model: One
bar for each number.
Boys There are 4 boys to every 2 girls:
Girls
Class Ratios
Find the ratio of boys to girls in our class.
Write your ratios in 3 ways:
Is the ratio of the number of girls to boys the same as the
ratio of boys to girls?
When writing Ratios: ORDER MATTERS!!
Class Ratios: Group Practice
Record a ratio for each of the examples Mrs.
Tanaka provides.
1.Find the ratio of boys to girls in our class.
2.You traveled out of state this summer.
3.You are an only child.
4.Your favorite class is math.
5.You have at least one sibling.
6.Your favorite food is spaghetti.
Group Work: Using words, describe a
ratio that represents each ratio below.
Example:1 to 12: for every one year, there are twelve
months
A.12 to 1
B.2 to 5
C.5 to 2
D.10 to 2
E.2 to 10

Essential Questions
• What is a ratio?
• How is a ratio written?
• Does the order of the ratios
matter?
New Learning: Equivalent Ratios
Notes
Ratios that make the same comparison
are equivalent ratios. Equivalent
ratios represent the same point on the
number line. To check whether two
ratios are equivalent, you can write both
in simplest form.
Example : Determining Whether Two Ratios Are
Equivalent
Simplify to tell whether the ratios are
equivalent.
A. 3 and 2
27
18
3
3 ÷ 3 =1
=
27 27 ÷ 3 9
2
2 ÷ 2 =1
=
18 18 ÷ 2 9
B. 12 and 27 12 = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
15
36 15 15 ÷ 3 5
27 = 27 ÷ 9 3
36 36 ÷ 9 = 4
1= 1
Since
,
9 9
the ratios are
equivalent.
Since 4 3 ,
5 4
the ratios are not
equivalent.

Shanni and Mel are using ribbon to decorate a project in their art
class. The ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of
Mel’s ribbon is 7:3.
Draw a tape diagram to represent this ratio.
Shanni
Mel
What does each unit on the tape diagram represent?
What if each unit on the tape represents 1 inch? What are the
7:3, 7 to 3, 7/3
lengths of the ribbons now? Write the ratio 3 ways.
What if each unit represents 3 inches? Write the ratio 3 ways.
21:6, 21 to 6, 21/6
Group Practice:
Mason and Laney ran laps for the long-distance running team.
The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps
Laney ran was 2 to 3. Draw a tape diagram.
If Mason ran 4 miles, how far did Laney run? Draw a tape
diagram to demonstrate how you found your answer. 6 miles
If Laney ran 930 meters, how far did Mason run? Draw a tape
diagram to determine how you found your answer.
620 m
Are these ratios equivalent? Discuss in your group.
Notes: Ratio Relationships
Part to Part, Part to Whole, Whole to Part
Part to Part: Comparing two parts
Part to Whole: Comparing one part to the total
amount
Whole to Part: Comparing the whole amount to one
part
Example: Ratio Relationships
Part to Part, Part to Whole, Whole to Part
Gretchen checked out 3 mystery novels
and 2 adventure novels from the library.
Part to Part: 3:2 and 2:3
Part to Whole: 3 to 5 and 2 to 5
Whole to Part: 5/3 and 5/2
Group Practice
Mrs. Tanaka has 25 students in her math class. 16 of
those students are boys and 9 students are girls.
Write ratios for the following:
Part to Part:
Part to Whole: 16 to 9, 9 to 16
Whole to Part:
16 to 25, 9 to 25
25: 16,
25:9
RP.02: I can use a ratio
relationship to understand unit
rate.
A rate is a comparison of two quantities that have
different units that do not cancel out.
A unit rate is one in which the denominator is 1.
Rates are often written using a slash (/) which is
read “per”.
Examples:
50 miles per hour = 50mi/h(mph)
32 miles per gallon = 32mi/gal(mpg)
20 dollars per hour = $20/h
Notes: Unit Rates
•A unit price is the ratio of price to the
number of units.
•Example:
•John went to McDonald’s and paid $40 for 5 hamburgers.
What was the cost of each hamburger? What do we
know?
$40
=
?????
5 hamburgers
1 hamburger
$40 ÷ 5 = $8 Each hamburger cost $8.00.
Another Example
A baker buys 25 lb of flour for $74.75. What is the rate
or unit price in dollars per pound?
Since we are asked for the rate in dollars per
pound, the monetary amount must be in the
numerator.
Price
$74.75 74.75 dollars
Unit Price =
25
lb
Number of units
25 lb
Unit Rate: 2.99 dollars per pound or $2.99/lb
One pound of flour will cost $2.99 per pound.
Notes: Unit Rates
Finding unit rates does not always
involve money.
Example: It took a pet store 10 weeks to
sell 80 cats. What is the rate sold per
week?
80 cats = ???cats
10 weeks
1 week
Group Work: Find the unit rate of each
problem. (Use your whiteboards)
A jogger travelled 50 kilometers in 5 days. What is the rate he
travelled per day?
10
1
For every _______ kilometers travelled, it took ____ day/s.
A fair owner made 18 dollars when a group of 3 people entered,
6
which is a rate of _______
per person.
A candy company used 8 gallons of syrup to make 4 batches of
candy. What is the rate of syrup per batch? 2
Unit prices often vary with the size of the item being
sold.
Many factors can contribute to determining unit
pricing in food, such as variations in store pricing and
special discounts.
Compare unit prices to determine the best buy for
a certain item that is sold in various size containers.
Example
Find the unit price of a 32 oz bottle of household cleaner and
then decide which is the best purchase based on the unit price
per ounce. How much will one ounce cost?
Size
8 oz
12 oz
16 oz
32 oz
Price
$1.99
$2.99
$3.49
$6.29
Unit Price
24.875 ¢/oz
24.917 ¢/oz
21.813 ¢/oz
19.656 ¢/oz
Based on unit
price alone the
32-oz size is the
best buy.
The unit price for the 32-oz size is given by
$6.29 629 cents 629 cents 19.656 cents per ounce
32 oz
32 oz
32 oz
Laundry Detergent Comparison
A box of Brand A laundry detergent washes 20 loads of
laundry and costs $6. A box of Brand B laundry
detergent washes 15 loads of laundry and costs $5.
What are some equivalent loads?
Brand A
Loads washed
20
Cost
$6
Brand B
Loads washed
15
Cost
$5
Study sheet for Unit Rates Test: Wednesday
A unit price is the ratio of price to the number of units.
Practice:
If a baker makes 2 dozen donuts in half an hour, how many dozens
of donuts can he make in three hours? Make a tape diagram to
solve.
Wal-Mart sells a 14 ounce of Cheerios for $3.98. What would be
the unit price of each ounce. Round if needed.
More Practice:
Kneaders sells cinnamon muffins for $0.75 each. Mostly Muffins
sells a dozen muffins for $7.20. Compare the unit prices and
determine the difference in cost. Which place offers the better
buy?
Daja’s hamster gained 5 ounces in 4 weeks. If the hamster
gained the same amount of weight each week, write a ratio to
calculate how many ounces the hamster would have gained in 7
weeks. Explain your reasoning in a complete sentence. Draw a
bar diagram to solve.
More Practice
Saul went shopping for marbles. He finds a container of 3 bags
for $3.45 and a container of 7 bags for $9.73. Find the unit rate
of each container and then state which container is the better
buy. Explain your reasoning in complete sentences.
