Ratio and Proportional Reasoning

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Rate   A ratio that compares two quantities with different kinds of units Ex: boys to girls, dollars to pounds, miles per hour  
🗑
Unit Rate   when a rate is simplified so it has a denominator of one unit ex: $24/6bottles = $4 per bottle or $4/1 bottle  
🗑
Complex fractions   fractions with a numerator, denominator or both that are also fractions  
🗑
Dimensional Analysis   the process of including the units of measure as factors when you compute  
🗑
Proportional   if two quantities have a constant ratio or unit rate  
🗑
Non-proportional   two quantities where the relationship is not constant  
🗑
Equivalent ratios   ratios that have the same value ex: 4/10 = 12/30 = 2/5  
🗑
Coordinate plane   a type of grid that is formed when two number lines intersect at their zero points.  
🗑
Quadrants   The four regions formed when the number lines intersect at their zero points  
🗑
Ordered pair   a pair of numbers used to locate or graph points on the coordinate plane ex: (3, -2)  
🗑
Proportion   an equation stating that two ratios or rates are equivalent.  
🗑
rate of change   a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another  
🗑
constant rate of change (slope)   if the rate of change between any two quantities is the same (m = change in y over change in x)  
🗑
slope (constant rate of change)   the constant rate of change (m = change in y/change in x)  
🗑
Direct Variation (pre-algebra only)   when two variable quantities have a constant ratio  
🗑
Constant of Variation (constant of proportionality) - pre-algebra only   the constant ratio y=kx The "k" is the constant of proportionality or constant of variation  
🗑
similar figures - pre-algebra only   two polygons where their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional  
🗑
scale - pre-algebra only   determined by the ratio of a given length on a drawing or model to its corresponding actual length  
🗑
scale factor - pre-algebra only   a scale written as a ratio without units in simplest form  
🗑
indirect measurement - pre-algebra only   when distances or lengths are difficult to measure directly you use the properties of similar polygons and proportions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
