| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ratio | a type of comparison of two numbers or measures. They can be written several ways |
| equivalent ratios | ratios that can be written as equivalent fractions |
| rate | a ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units. They describe how one measure depends on another |
| unit rate | a form of a rate that gives an amount per one unit |
| “nice” fraction | a fraction like 1/3, ¼, or 2/5 that can be used to estimate a ratio or percent, making computation easier |
| fitted line | a line that passes near to most of the data points in a scatter plot, so close to half of the data points fall above the line and half of the data points fall below the line |
| scatter plot | a graph that shows the relationship between two sets of data. The data is represented by points and a fitted line can be drawn through the points |
| proportion | an equation stating that two ratios are equivalent |
| cross products | equal products formed from a pair of equivalent ratios by multiplying |
| similar figures | figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size |
| corresponding parts | when two figures are similar, for each angle or side of one figure there is a similar angle or side on the other figure |
| congruent figures | figures that have the same shape and the same size |
| scale | the ratio of a measurement on a model or a drawing to the corresponding measurement on the actual object |
| protractor | a tool used to measure an angle |
