Study Notes
Ratios
- A ratio compares two quantities.
- It can be expressed as a fraction, using a colon, or with the word "to".
- Example: The ratio of 3 apples to 5 oranges can be written as 3/5, 3:5, or 3 to 5.
Simplifying Ratios
- To simplify a ratio, divide both terms by their greatest common factor (GCF).
- Example: The ratio 6:8 can be simplified to 3:4 by dividing both terms by 2.
Proportions
- A proportion is an equality of two ratios.
- It states that two ratios are equivalent.
- Example: 2/3 = 4/6 is a proportion because the two ratios are equivalent.
Solving Proportions
- To solve a proportion, cross-multiply and then solve for the unknown variable.
- Example: To solve the proportion 2/x = 3/5, cross-multiply to get 2 * 5 = 3 * x, then solve for x to get x = 10/3.
Rates
- A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities with different units.
- Example: A speed of 60 miles per hour is a rate that compares distance (miles) to time (hours).
Integers
- Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Example: -5, 0, 3, 10 are all integers.
Prime Factorization of 12
- The prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12
- The LCM of 8 and 12 is 24.
Rounding 3.14159 to Two Decimal Places
- 3.14159 rounded to two decimal places is 3.14.
Simplifying the Expression 2x + 3y - 5x + 7y
- The simplified expression is -3x + 10y.
Solving the Equation 2x + 5 = 11 for x
- Solving for x:
- Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = 6
- Divide both sides by 2: x = 3.
Representing the Inequality x < 5 on a Number Line
- The number line will have an open circle at 5 and an arrow pointing to the left, indicating all numbers less than 5.
Evaluating the Expression 3x + 2y
- Given x = 2 and y = 3:
- Substitute the values: 3(2) + 2(3)
- Evaluate: 6 + 6 = 12.
Simplifying the Fraction 12/18
- The simplified fraction is 2/3.
Converting the Improper Fraction 7/4 into a Mixed Number
- The mixed number is 1 3/4.
Expressing 3,200,000 in Standard Form
- The standard form is 3.2 x 10^6.
