    Study Notes

    Simplifying Ratios

    • Ratios represent a comparison between two quantities of the same type and same unit.
    • To express ratios in simplest form, divide both quantities by their highest common factor (HCF).
    • Example of simplifying:
      • Ratio 4:16 simplifies to 1:4 by dividing both parts by 4.
    • Identifying simplest forms:
      • Ratios such as 1:5 and 11:17 are in simplest form, while 3:9 can be simplified to 1:3.

    Working with Fractions in Ratios

    • Use least common denominators (LCD) for fractions.
    • Example: To simplify 21:11 52/34, convert to improper fractions and find the LCD if necessary.
    • For mixed numerals, convert to improper fractions first before simplifying.

    Changing Units for Ratios

    • Always convert quantities to the same unit before expressing them as a ratio.
    • Example:
      • 4 mm to 2 cm transforms to 4 mm to 20 mm, simplified to 1:5.
      • 25 minutes to 2 hours converts to 25 minutes to 120 minutes, simplified to 5:24.

    Problem-Solving with Ratios

    • When dividing a total amount according to a ratio (e.g., 4:5), first calculate the total number of parts.
    • Example calculation: Total $180 in ratio 4:5 gives $80 (4 parts) and $100 (5 parts).

    Rates

    • Rates compare two quantities of different types and must include units.
    • Examples include speed (distance per time), price (cost per unit), and heart rate (beats per minute).
    • Average rate calculations are crucial for determining metrics like speed or growth over time.

    Applications of Rates

    • Temperature change rates can be calculated by analyzing daily minimum and maximum temperatures.
    • Example: For Melbourne's temperatures, the highest temperature recorded at specific times can highlight daily trends.

    Average Speed

    • Average speed is calculated by distance covered divided by total time taken.
    • Example: If a car travels 40 km, with segments at different speeds, the overall average can be calculated through total distance divided by total time.

    Rate Changes in Different Contexts

    • A fitness tracker example demonstrates how changes in walking and running times alter distance covered.
    • Additional scenarios include environmental changes, like temperature tracking in a specific location over extended periods.

    Summary of Rate Concepts

    • Rates help compare different types of quantities, making them useful in diverse fields from economics to environmental science.
    • Mastery of these concepts can enhance problem-solving abilities in real-life applications and mathematical assessments.
