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.
