25
Q

A rate with a denominator of 1.

26
Q

In the context of unit rates the word_____ translates in to division

27
Q

To make a rate a unit rate…

A

1) Divide the numerator by the denominator
2) Make the quotient the Numerator
3) Make “1” the denominator.

29
Q

In economics a unit rate is also known as

A

Unit price

or

Money per item

or

31
Q

A statement that two ratios or rates are equal

A

Proportion

32
Q

The rule of proportion

A

IF

A C

  • & -

B D

are two ratios then

A C

  • = -

B D is a proportion.

33
Q

To emphasize a proportion we say…

A

A is to B as is C is to D

34
Q

In two separate proportions the _______of one numerator must be the same as the other numerator. this also goes for the Denominator.

35
Q

The first way to compare to ratios to see if they are proportionate…

A

1) Write both in simplest form
2) Compare
3) If both are the same they are proportionate.

Ratio 1

(75/100) = 3/4

Ratio 2

(15/20)

Both ratios reduce to 3/4 thus they are proportionate.

36
Q

The second way compare to ratios to see if they are proportionate…

A

1) Cross multiply the two ratios diagonally
2) If they both result in the same cross product they are proportionate.

37
Q

The result of diagonally multiplying two ratios

A

Cross Product

38
Q

To solve for x in two proportions…

A

1) Cross multiply
2) Place each cross product on separate sides of an equation
3) Solve for x

2/3 = x/30—-> 2*30=3*x

39
Q

42
Q

A straight line mark that intersects an arc used to denote the correspondence of angles in different/separate triangles.

          or                  that intersects a side to denote the correspondence of side lengths in different/separate triangles.
