Lesson Summary
A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers, which are not both zero.
A ratio is denoted 𝐴𝐴: 𝐵𝐵 to indicate the order of the numbers—the number 𝐴𝐴 is first, and the number 𝐵𝐵 is second.
The order of the numbers is important to the meaning of the ratio. Switching the numbers changes the
relationship. The description of the ratio relationship tells us the correct order for the numbers in the ratio.

Classwork
Exercises
1. The Business Direct Hotel caters to people who travel for different types of business trips. On Saturday night there
is not a lot of business travel, so the ratio of the number of occupied rooms to the number of unoccupied rooms is
2: 5. However, on Sunday night the ratio of the number of occupied rooms to the number of unoccupied rooms is
6: 1 due to the number of business people attending a large conference in the area. If the Business Direct Hotel has
432 occupied rooms on Sunday night, how many unoccupied rooms does it have on Saturday night?
2. Peter is trying to work out by completing sit-ups and push-ups in order to gain muscle mass. Originally, Peter was

regular math and advanced math if there were 92 students in advanced math after the placement tests?

S.21
6. During first semester, the ratio of the number of students in art class to the number of students in gym class was
2: 7. However, the art classes were really small, and the gym classes were large, so the principal changed students’
classes for second semester. In second semester, the ratio of the number of students in art class to the number of
students in gym class was 5: 4. If 75 students were in art class second semester, how many were in art class and
gym class first semester?
7. Jeanette wants to save money, but she has not been good at it in the past. The ratio of the amount of money in
Jeanette’s savings account to the amount of money in her checking account was 1: 6. Because Jeanette is trying to
get better at saving money, she moves some money out of her checking account and into her savings account. Now,
the ratio of the amount of money in her savings account to the amount of money in her checking account is 4: 3. If
Jeanette had $936 in her checking account before moving money, how much money does Jeanette have in each
account after moving money?

Lesson Summary
For a ratio 𝐴𝐴: 𝐵𝐵, we are often interested in the associated ratio 𝐵𝐵: 𝐴𝐴. Further, if 𝐴𝐴 and 𝐵𝐵 can both be measured in
the same unit, we are often interested in the associated ratios 𝐴𝐴: (𝐴𝐴 + 𝐵𝐵) and 𝐵𝐵: (𝐴𝐴 + 𝐵𝐵).
For example, if Tom caught 3 fish and Kyle caught 5 fish, we can say:
The ratio of the number of fish Tom caught to the number of fish Kyle caught is 3: 5.
The ratio of the number of fish Kyle caught to the number of fish Tom caught is 5: 3.
The ratio of the number of fish Tom caught to the total number of fish the two boys caught is 3: 8.
The ratio of the number of fish Kyle caught to the total number of fish the two boys caught is 5: 8.

Lesson Summary
Ratio tables are constructed in a special way.
Each pair of values in the table will be equivalent to the same ratio.
Repeated addition or multiplication can be used to create a ratio table.

The values in the first column can be multiplied by a constant value to get the values in the second column.
red white
3 ×4 12
6 ×4 24
12 ×4 48
21 ×4 84
By just adding a certain number to the first entry of a ratio in the first column and adding the same number to the
second entry in the second column, the new ratio formed is generally not equivalent to the original ratio. Instead,
the numbers added to the entries must be related to the ratio used to make the table. However, if the entries in
one column are multiplied by a certain number, multiplying the entries in the other column by the same number
creates equivalent ratios.

Lesson Summary
Ratio tables can be used to compare two ratios.
Look for equal amounts in a row or column to compare the second amount associated with it.

The values of the tables can also be extended in order to get comparable amounts. Another method would be to
compare the values of the ratios by writing the values of the ratios as fractions and then using knowledge of
fractions to compare the ratios.
When ratios are given in words, creating a table of equivalent ratios helps in comparing the ratios.

Lesson Summary
A double number line is a representation of a ratio relationship using a pair of parallel number lines. One number
line is drawn above the other so that the zeros of each number line are aligned directly with each other. Each ratio
in a ratio relationship is represented on the double number line by always plotting the first entry of the ratio on one
of the number lines and plotting the second entry on the other number line so that the second entry is aligned with
the first entry.

company wants to find someone who can type at least 45 words per minute. Dominique discovered she can
type at a constant rate of 704 words in 16 minutes. Does Dominique type at a fast enough rate to qualify for
the job? Explain why or why not.

S.69
Lesson Summary
A rate is a quantity that describes a ratio relationship between two types of quantities.
For example, 15 miles/hour is a rate that describes a ratio relationship between hours and miles: If an object is
traveling at a constant 15 miles/hour, then after 1 hour it has gone 15 miles, after 2 hours it has gone 30 miles,
after 3 hours it has gone 45 miles, and so on.
When a rate is written as a measurement, the unit rate is the measure (i.e., the numerical part of the
measurement). For example, when the rate of speed of an object is written as the measurement 15 miles/hour,
the number 15 is the unit rate. The unit of measurement is miles/hour, which is read as “miles per hour.”

If an object is moving at a constant rate of speed for a certain amount of time, it is possible to find how far the object
went by multiplying the rate and the time. In mathematical language, we say, distance = rate ∙ time.
Example 1
Walker: Substitute the walker’s distance and time into the equation and solve for the rate of speed.
distance = rate ∙ time

𝑑𝑑 = 𝑟𝑟 ∙ 𝑡𝑡
Hint: Consider the units that you want to end up with. If you want to end up with the rate (feet/second), then divide the
distance (feet) by time (seconds).
Runner: Substitute the runner’s time and distance into the equation to find the rate of speed.

Part 2: In Lesson 21, we converted units of measure using unit rates. If the runner were able to run at a constant rate,
how many yards would he run in an hour? This problem can be solved by breaking it down into two steps. Work with a
partner, and make a record of your calculations.
a. How many yards would he run in one minute?
b. How many yards would he run in one hour?
We completed that problem in two separate steps, but it is possible to complete this same problem in one
step. We can multiply the yards per second by the seconds per minute, then by the minutes per hour.

Lesson Summary
Fractions, decimals, and percentages are all related.
To change a fraction to a percentage, you can scale up or scale down so that 100 is in the denominator.
Example:
9 9×5 45
= = = 45%
20 20 × 5 100
There may be times when it is more beneficial to convert a fraction to a percent by first writing the fraction in
decimal form.
Example:
5
= 0.625 = 62.5 hundredths = 62.5%
