7-1 Ratios and Rates

Equivalent ratios are ratios that name the same comparison. You can find an equivalent ratio by multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same number.

7-1 Ratios and Rates

A rate compares two quantities that have different units of measure. Suppose a 2-liter bottle of soda costs $1.98.

When the comparison is to one unit, the rate is called a unit rate. Divide both terms by the second term to find the unit rate.

When the prices of two or more items are compared, the item with the lowest unit rate is the best deal.

rate = pricenumber of liters_____________ $1.98

2 liters ________= $1.98 for 2 liters

unit rate = $1.98 2 _____ $1.98 ÷ 2

2 ÷ 2 ________= $0.99 for 1 liter= $0.99

1 _____

A 3-pack of paper towels costs $2.79. A 6-pack of the same paper towels costs $5.46. Which is the better deal?

Write the rate. $2.79 3 rolls _____

$2.79 ÷ 3 3 rolls ÷ 3 _________ Divide both

terms by 3.

$0.93 1 roll _____ $0.93 for 1 roll.

Write the rate. $5.46 6 rolls _____

$5.46 ÷ 6 6 rolls ÷ 6 _________ Divide both

terms by 6.

$0.91 1 roll _____ $0.91 for 1 roll.

The 6-pack of paper towels is the better deal.
