%%%%%%'s John's Rate Growing Post

Ratio- Relation in degree or number between two similar things.

Rate- A quantity measured with respect to another measured quantity.

Difference between ratio and rate- A ratio is the comparison between two numbers with the same unit. For example 3 oranges to two oranges. On the other hand, a rate is an indication of the measurements of different units per unit. For example, the statement 3 oranges/ person shows the relationship between the measurement of oranges per person.

Question from page 60:

a)A blue whale eats 8 t of krill in 2 days

Answer: The blue whale eats 4 tons of krill each day.

Question from page 61:

Trevor rode his mountain bike 84 km in 3 h. Jillian rode 70 km in 2.5 h. Who is the fastest cyclist?

Answer:They both have the same speed of 28 km.

Coin Rate:

How many pennies would there be in each jar (saying there were 6 jars).

If there were 3000 pennies combined in 6 jars, you would just need to find the unit rate (divide each numbers by 6) and then you would get your answer. So there are 500 pennies/jar.
