Study Notes

Ratios and Rates

  • Ratios compare two quantities with the same units.
  • Ratios can be written in three ways: a:b, a to b, or a/b
  • Ratios are typically expressed in their simplest form.
  • Rates compare two quantities with different units.
  • Unit rates represent the amount of one quantity per one unit of another quantity.
  • Unit rates often feature the word "per."
  • Unit price specifically indicates the cost of one unit of an item.
  • Example of a ratio: 3 teachers to 48 students, simplified to 3:48
  • Example of a unit rate: $229 for 12 hours of work, resulting in a rate of $19.08/hour.
