31 Rates, Ratios, and Proportions
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division. The ratio of a to b can be written a:b or , where b ≠ 0. Ratios that name the same comparison are said to be equivalent.
A statement that two ratios are equivalent, such as , is called a proportion.
31 Rates, Ratios, and Proportions
A rate is a ratio of two quantities with different units,
such as Rates are usually written as unit rates.
A unit rate is a rate with a second quantity of 1 unit,
such as or 17 mi/gal. You can convert any rate to
a unit rate.
Unit price is a unit rate used to compare price per item.

Example 1: Finding Unit Rates
Raulf Laue of Germany flipped a pancake 416 times in 120 seconds to set the world record. Find the unit rate. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The unit rate is about 3.47 flips/s.
Write a proportion to find an equivalent ratio with a second quantity of 1.
Divide 416 by 120 on the left side to find x.

Jamie can buy a 15-oz jar of peanut butter for $2.19 or a 20-oz jar for $2.78. Which is the better buy?
Additional Example 1: Finding Unit Prices to Compare Costs
$2.19
15= $0.15
=$2.78
20 $0.14
The better buy is the 20-oz jar for $2.78.

Example 2: Converting Rates
Serena ran a race at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour. What was her speed in kilometers per minute? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The rate is about 0.17 kilometer per minute.
To convert the second quantity in a rate, multiply by a conversion factor with that unit in the first quantity.

Step 1 Convert the speed to feet per hour.
A cyclist travels 56 miles in 4 hours. What is the cyclist’s speed in feet per second? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, and show that your answer is reasonable.
The speed is 73,920 feet per hour.

Step 2 Convert the speed to feet per minute.
To convert the second quantity in a rate, multiply by a conversion factor with that unit in the first quantity.
The speed is 1232 feet per minute.
Step 3 Convert the speed to feet per second.
The speed is approximately 20.5 feet per second.
To convert the second quantity in a rate, multiply by a conversion factor with that unit in the first quantity.

In the proportion , the products a • d and
b • c are called cross products. You can solve
a proportion for a missing value by using the
Cross Products property.
Cross Products Property
WORDS NUMBERS ALGEBRA
In a proportion, cross products are equal.
2 • 6 = 3 • 4
If and b ≠ 0
and d ≠ 0then ad = bc.

Example 3: Solving Proportions
Solve each proportion.
3(m) = 5(9)
3m = 45
m = 15
Use cross products.
Divide both sides by 3.
Use cross products.
6(7) = 2(y – 3)
42 = 2y – 6+6 +648 = 2y
24 = y
A. B.
Add 6 to both sides.Divide both sides by 2.

Example 5: Application
A contractor has a blueprint for a house drawn to the scale 1 in: 3 ft.
A wall on the blueprint is 6.5 inches long. How long is the actual wall?
blueprint 1 in. actual 3 ft.
x • 1 = 3(6.5)
x = 19.5The actual length of the wall is 19.5 feet.
Write the scale as a fraction.
Let x be the actual length.
Use the cross products to solve.

A scale model of a human heart is 16 ft. long. The scale is 32:1. How many inches long is the actual heart it represents?
model 32 in. actual 1 in.
Write the scale as a fraction.
Use the cross products to solve.
Since x is multiplied by 32, divide both sides by 32 to undo the multiplication.
Let x be the actual length.Convert 16 ft to inches.
