zMATH 170  - Unit 12: Ratios, Proportions, Rates, Scale Factors, and Models

Ratios

A bag of marbles contains 16 red, 12 white, 4 blue, and 10 green. Use this information to answer questions #1 – #3.


1)

What is the ratio of white marbles to all the marbles in the bag? (simplify)


2)

What is the ratio of blue marbles to green marbles? (simplify ratio to lowest terms)


3)

What is the ratio of red and green marbles to the total number of marbles?


Using Ratios to Solve Proportions

For problems #4 through #7, write a proportion, and then solve.


4)

Make a scale drawing as directed below to answer questions #14 and #15.

The face of your computer monitor is probably close to a rectangle in shape.  Measure the base and height your computer monitor.  Make a rectangular scale drawing of the monitor using the scale:  1 scaled inch represents 4 actual inches.  Use your scale drawing to answer questions #14 and #15.


14)

State the actual length of the face of the monitor, state a proportion to find the scaled length, and then state the scaled length.

Making Equations Using Tables and the Constant of Proportionality and Graphing Rates Using the Constant of Proportionality

The students in Ms. Baca’s art class were mixing yellow and blue paint. She told them that two mixtures will be the same shade of green if the blue and yellow paint are in the same ratio. The table below shows the different mixtures of paint that the students made.  Using this information, answer questions 16 through 19.


16)

How many different shades of paint did the students make?
