Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
A ratio is a way to compare two numbers by division, showing the relationship between them rather than their absolute values.
- •
Ratios can be written in fraction form or using the colon symbol ( : ), and a rate is a special type of ratio that compares quantities involving a period of time.
- •
A unit rate simplifies a rate by expressing it with a denominator of 1, making it easier to compare different rates.
