    Study Notes

    Rate

    • Rate is a ratio with different unit types.
    • Example is PKR 85 for 12 ounces of corn.

    Average Rate

    • Average rate is the change in one quantity relative to another.
    • Example is a lorry's speed of 100 km per hour.
    • Calculated as change in one object divided by change in another.

    Increasing Ratios

    • To increase a quantity in ratio a:b where b is greater than a, multiply the quantity by a/b.
    • Example: Increase sugar quantity in the ratio 4:3, multiply quantity by 4/3.

    Decreasing Ratios

    • To decrease a quantity in ratio a:b where b is less than a, multiply quantity by a/b.
    • Example: Decrease flour for 4 people to 3 people, use ratio 3:4, multiply flour amount by 3/4.

    Worked Example 1 (a)

    • Increase 40 in the ratio 4:40, which means a new quantity to old quantity ratio of 5:2
    • This means solving the equation x/40 = 5/2.
    • Solving for x, we get a new quantity of 100, so new quantity is 100.

    Worked Example 1 (b)

    • Decrease 35 in ratio 3:7.
    • This means a new quantity to old quantity ratio of 3:7.
    • Set up the equation as new quantity/35 = 3/7.
    • Solving for new quantity, we get 15.
