Ratios and proportions and similar figures Flashcards
Sooooootired
ratios
a comparison between two numbers (ex: 4:3)
Rates
comparing of Two number with different unit/labels (ex: 100 miles/ 2 hours)
Proportion
An equation showing two ratios are equivalent (ex: 10/25=40/100)
Complex fractions and units

Converting rates
All you have to do is divide the number of conversions you get in a given timeframe by the total number of people who visited your site or landing page and multiply it by 100%. For example, if your site had 7, 492 visitor and 2,305 conversions last month, your conversion rate is 13.18 or Ex: 100 miles per min. Hr/miles x mile/hr = miles/min.
proportions and non-proportional
If a graph or chart is proportional it will go through the origin and in a straight line. they will all be equall and can be simplified to the same number.
Similar figures
They have the same shape and corresponding sides. Corresponding angles have the same measure. The ratios of the corresponding sides in large or reduce by the same multiplier called the scale factor. (Ex; two triangles first sides 2-4 second sides 3-x if 2x2=4 the 3x2=x, which is 6. )
Indirect measurement
The way you can measure something without measuring it directly like using shadows. (Ex: a statue is 6ft tall and its shadow is 3 ft. Long, a visitor next to it is 5ft. Tall how long is his shadow. 6 divided by 3 is 2, so 5 divided by = 2.5.
