  2. Obj: To write a ratio of two quantities in simplest form A ratio is a comparison of two quantities that have the same units. A ratio can be written in three different ways • As a fraction • As two numbers separated by a colon • As two numbers separated by the word to

  3. Obj: To write a ratio of two quantities in simplest form Write the comparison 20 pounds to 24 pounds as a ratio in simplest form using a fraction, a colon and the word, to. 20 pounds 24 pounds 5 6 = = 5:6 = 5 to 6

  4. Obj: To solve application problems involving ratios A company spends $20,000 a month on television advertising and $15,000 a month on radio advertising.

  6. Obj: To write unit rates A unit rate is a rate in which the number in the denominator is 1 • to find a unit rate, divide the numerator of the rate by the denominator of the rate Example: Write 260 miles in 8 hours as a unit rate 260 miles 8 hours = 32.5 miles/hour

  7. Obj: To solve application problems involving rates A jeweler purchased 5 ounces of gold for $1625. Later, he sold the 5 ounces for $1720. What was his profit per ounce? Total profit = 1720 – 1625 = $95 profit ounce 95 dollars 5 ounces = = 19 dollars/ounce = $19/oz
