  1. Arithmetic:Ratios and Proportional Reasoning -Ratio (& Proportions) -Scale Drawings: Increase/Decrease -Percent -Rate

  2. Overview HINT: Read the brief text in each slide BEFORE going to any website or looking at a file. There will be instructions on HOW best to use the resource/website. This is the first modular, and serves as a precursor to the algebra and beyond courses. In this module you’ll be learning about Ratio and Proportional Reasoning. A ratio describes a relationship between two quantities. Some distinguish ratios from rates, using the term “ratio” when units are the same and “rate” when units are different; others use ratio to encompass both situations. Relationships of two quantities may be described in terms of ratios, rates, percents, or proportional relationships. Rates can be indicated in terms such as “for each 1,” “for each,” and “per.” The unit rate is the numerical part of the rate; the “unit” in “unit rate” is often used to highlight the 1 in “for each 1” or “for every 1.” ” Notation for ratios can include the use of a colon, as in 3 : 2. Ratios are used in many applications.

  3. Topics • Ratio Foundation • Determining and expressing a ratio • Creating Ratio Proportional Relationships • Ratio: Scale Drawings • Ratio: Percent • Ratio: Rates

  4. Ratio Determining and Expressing a Ratio • A ratio expresses the relationship of two quantities. • Ratios can be indicated in words as “5 to 6” and “3 for every 5” and “5 out of every 7” and “5 parts to 6 parts.” This use might include units, e.g., “5 cups of flour for every 6 eggs” or “3 meters in 2 seconds.” Notation for ratios can include the use of a colon, as in 3 : 2. • This video will show you how to determine a ratio as well as how to express a ratio. The video is 14 minutes long; however, you may only need to watch the first 4 minutes demonstrating HOW TO DETERMINE and WRITE A RATIO of horses to dogs. There are thee more examples that follow horses : dogs ratio. You might want to use these to test your skills. After the problem is introduced, stop the video and try to write the ratio, restart the video to check your answer. Continue through the video until you feel you can suffessfully write a ratio. http://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/rates-and-ratios/ratios_and_proportions/v/introduction-to-ratios--new-hd-version

  5. Ratio Determining and Expressing a Ratio • Often you might be asked to use a ratio to determine missing information such as: If the ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 8, and there are 65 students in the class, how many of those students are girls? • This 2 minute step-by-step video demonstrates the above problem. You should stop the video after the problem is introduced to determine the ratio before going on to check your answer with the one demonstrated on the video. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-ratios-prop-topic/cc-6th-ratio-word-problems/v/ratio-word-problem-exercise-example-1 • There is a second problem you can try. To get to the second problem click on “Ratio word problem exercise 2” in the left side bar.

  6. Ratio Creating Ratio Proportional Relationships • A ratio expresses the relationship of two quantities. • Proportions are determined by using a given ratio to create multiplicative relationships of the same two given numbers used in the ratio, thus when two ratios are the same, they are proportional. For example: • This 5 minute video will demonstrate the use of multiplication to find proportions equal to a given ratio. Note that one factor is used to multiply both numbers in the ratio to find a proportion equal to the given ratio. http://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/ratio-proportion-topic/ratios_algebra/v/ratio-problem-with-basic-algebra--new-hd

  7. Ratio Creating Ratio Proportional Relationships • This 5 minute step-by-step video will show you how to determine and express a ratio proportionally. Use this video to practice practical applications problems using ratios. Begin the video, and once the problem is established; stop the video and determine the ratio, before going on to check your answer with the one demonstrated on the video. • Note on the left side bar of this web site that there are several examples you can work through. You can determine how many problems you need to do. Continue doing problems until you are successful. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/ratio-proportion-topic/ratios_algebra/v/writing-proportions

  8. Ratio: Scale Drawings Scale Drawings ~ Increase • Scale drawings use proportional reasoning to create a smaller or larger drawing of the given drawing. • Scale drawings are created by using multiplication to increase the size of the drawing; or division to decrease the size of the drawing. • This 4 minute video will show you how to use a scale factor used in creating a floor plan to determine the actual size of the house. Watch this video and note the multiplication used to determine the actual size of the house. • Note that one factor is multiplied by all sides to maintain the ratio. http://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-geometry/cc-7th-scale-drawings/v/scale-drawings-example

  9. Ratio: Scale Drawings Scale Drawings ~ Decrease • Scale drawings use proportional reasoning to create a smaller or larger drawing of the given drawing. • Scale drawings are created by using multiplication to increase the size of the drawing; or division to decrease the size of the drawing. • This 3 minute video will show you how to use a scale factor to create a floor plan. Watch this video and note the division used to create the scale drawing. • Note that the same number is used to divideall sides to maintain the ratio. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-geometry/cc-7th-scale-drawings/v/Constructing%20scale%20drawings

  10. Ratio: Percent • A ratio can be expressed as a percentage. • In expressing the percent keep in mind the two quantities in the ratio combined to make the whole. Thus one can compare one quantity to the other; or compare one quantity to the whole of the set. • This 3 minute video explains what a percent is, and how to find a percent. http://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-ratios-prop-topic/cc-6th-percentages/v/finding-percentages-example • Now that you have watched the video, think about all the ratio problems you have done and how a ratio can be expressed as a fraction. • Use the next two web resources to test your understanding of percent. Each website has percentage problems . Work the problem, then click on ‘answer’ to see if you are correct. http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol4/meaning_percent.html http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_convert_ratios_to_percentages

  11. Ratio: Rate A quantity measured with respect to another measured quantity (sometimes called a unit rate) Example: a rate of speed • This rate compares the miles traveled to the time it took to drive those miles. This is sometimes given as a formula rate equals distance divided by time. • Jose is driving 55 miles per hour. • The rate of speed is 55 miles per hour. • This is sometimes written as

  21. Ratio: Rate Slope • The word slope is used to define the incline or steepness of a hill. It is comparing the change in the vertical distance (sometimes called the rise) to the change in the horizontal distance (sometimes called the run.) • Algebraically we can say

  22. Ratio: Rate Slope – Mathematical Definition • The slope of a straight line is defined by the change in y divided by the change in x • where x2 does not equal x1

  23. Ratio: Rate Slope – Problem The slope of a line that passes through the points (4,7) and (2,3). For our purposes (x1,y1) = (4,7) and (x2,y2)=(2,3) so the slope of the line is 2. That means that for every two units there is a change in the vertical distance, there is a change of one in the horizontal distance. The slope of the line is positive.

  24. Ratio: Rate Slope – Problem The slope of a line that passes through the points (1,2) and (-1,4). For our purposes (x1,y1) = (1,2) and (x2,y2)=(-1,4) so the slope of the line is -1. That means that for every one unit there is a change in the negative vertical distance, there is a change of one in the horizontal distance. The slope of the line is negative.

  25. Ratio: Rate Linear Equations • See what happens when the values of “x” and “y” change using a virtual manipulative. Click belowto access a place where you can see how the slope of the line changes. See what happens when you enter a value of zero for slope and a value of 5 for the y intercept.

  28. Ratio: Rate Rate of Zero If you are driving at 70 mph on the highway and then are stopped for 20 minutes because of an accident, at first your rate is 70 mph. When are stopped, what is the rate of change? Time is passing but you are not traveling any distance so the rate is zero. • Using the formula • The graph for a rate of zero would be a straight line. There is no slope.

  29. Ratio: Rate Slope – Problem – Rate of Zero The slope of a line that passes through the points (0,2) and (6, 2). For our purposes (x1,y1) = (0,2) and (x2,y2)=(6,2) so the slope of the line is 0. That means that there is no change in the vertical distance. The slope of the line is zero.

  30. Ratio: Rate Undefined slope Can you travela distance and no time passes. Is this possible? Not in our universe! • Remember that the rate is defined by distance over time. If the time is zero, then the rate is undefined. • The graph for this situation would be a vertical line. The slope is undefined. We may also say vertical lines have no slope.

  31. Ratio: Rate Slope – Problem The slope of a line that passes through the points (4,7) and (4, -3). For our purposes (x1,y1) = (4,7) and (x2,y2)=(4,3) so the slope of the line is undefined. That means that for any change in the vertical distance, there is no change in the horizontal distance. The slope of the line is undefined.
