Question 1.
Brandon enters bike races. He bikes 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) miles every \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour. Complete the table to find how far Brandon bikes for each time interval
Type below:
____________
Answer:
1 hour: 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 17
1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour: 17 + 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 25 \(\frac{1}{2}\)
2 hour: 25 \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 34
2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour: 34 + 8 \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 42 \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Find each unit rate.
Question 2.
Julio walks 3 \(\frac{1}{2}\) miles in 1 \(\frac{1}{4}\) hours.
________ \(\frac{□}{□}\)
Answer: 2 \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Explanation:
Divide the number of miles by the number of hours to find the unit rate in miles per hour.
3 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 1 \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{7}{2}\)/\(\frac{5}{4}\)
\(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{4}{5}\) = \(\frac{14}{5}\)
Convert from improper fraction to mixed fraction.
\(\frac{14}{5}\) = 2 \(\frac{4}{5}\) miles per hour
Question 5.
A fertilizer covers \(\frac{5}{8}\) square foot in \(\frac{1}{4}\) hour.
________ \(\frac{□}{□}\)
Answer: 2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) square feet per hour
Explanation:
Given,
A fertilizer covers \(\frac{5}{8}\) square foot in \(\frac{1}{4}\) hour.
Divide the number of square feet, which is \(\frac{5}{8}\) by the number of hours, which is \(\frac{1}{4}\), to find the unit rate in square feet per hour.
\(\frac{5}{8}\) ÷ \(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\) × \(\frac{4}{1}\) =\(\frac{5}{2}\)
Convert from improper fraction to mixed fraction.
\(\frac{5}{2}\) = 2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) square feet per hour
Thus A fertilizer covers 2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) square feet per hour.
Find each unit rate. Determine which is lower.
Question 6.
Brand A: 240 mg sodium for \(\frac{1}{3}\) pickle or Brand B: 325 mg sodium for \(\frac{1}{2}\) pickle.
____________
Answer:
Find the unit rates in mg per pickle for each brand by dividing the number of mg by the number of pickles.
Brand A: 240 mg ÷ \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 240 × 3 = 720
Brand B: 325 mg ÷ \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 325 × 2 = 650
650 is less than 720 so Brand B has a lower unit rate.

Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, $.0.05 per minute is
60 × 0.05 = $3 per hour.
Thus the unit rate per hour is $3.
Question 9.
d. Draw Conclusions
Is the rate in part c a better deal than On Call or Talk Time? Explain.
____________
Answer:
The unit rate in part c is greater than the unit rates from part a so it is not a better deal than the other two companies.
Question 10.
Represent Real-World Problems
Your teacher asks you to find a recipe that includes two ingredients with a rate of \(\frac{2 \text { units }}{3 \text { units }}\).
a. Give an example of two ingredients in a recipe that would meet this requirement.
Type below:
____________
Answer: A rate of 2/3 units means that there need to be 2 units of 1 ingredient for every 3 units of a second ingredient.
One example could then be 2 eggs per 3 cups of flour.
Another example could 2 teaspoons of vanilla per 3 teaspoons of sugar.
Question 10.
b. If you needed to triple the recipe, would the rate change? Explain.
____________
Answer: No, the rate would not change. Using the example I gave in
part a) of 2 eggs per 3 cups of flour, tripling the recipe would require using 3(2 eggs) = 6 eggs
3(3 cups of sugar) = 9 cups of flour.
Since 6 eggs/9 cups of flour = 2 eggs/3 cups of flour, the rate is still the same.
Question 11.
A radio station requires DJs to play 2 commercials for every 10 songs they play. What is the unit rate of songs to commercials?
____________ songs per commercial
Answer: 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Divide the number of songs by the number of commercials.
Thus the radio requires 5 songs per commercial.
Question 12.
Multistep
Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.
a. What is the unit rate in miles per hour for each runner?
Terrance: ____________ mi per hour
Jesse: ____________ mi per hour
Answer:
Find the unit rates for each runner by dividing the number of miles by the number of hours. Remember that 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour since there are 60 minutes in an hour
15 ÷ 60 = 1/4
a) Terrance: 6 ÷ 1/2 = 6 × 2 = 12 miles per hour.
Jesse: 2 ÷ 1/4 = 2 × 4 = 8 miles per hour.
Question 12.
b. How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?
Terrance: ______ \(\frac{□}{□}\)
Jesse: ______ \(\frac{□}{□}\)
Answer:
Divide the number of miles by the unit rates found in part a to find the time.
Terrance: 50 ÷ 12 = 50/12 = 4 \(\frac{1}{6}\) hours
Jesse: 50 ÷ 8 = 50/8 = 6 \(\frac{1}{4}\) hours
Question 12.
c. Sandra runs at a rate of 8 miles in 45 minutes. How does her unit rate compare to Terrance’s and to Jesse’s?
______ \(\frac{□}{□}\) mi per hour
Answer:
We need to find the unit rate for Sandra by dividing the number of miles by the number of hours.
Remember that 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour.
Since 45/60 = 3/4.
Sandra’s unit rate is smaller than Terrance’s but larger than Jesse’s.

Question 14.
Justify Reasoning
An online retailer sells two packages of protein bars.
a. Which package has the better price per bar?
____________
Answer:
Find the unit rates per bar by dividing the costs by the number of bars. the 12-pack has a better price per bar.
10-pack: 15.37 ÷ 10 = 1.537 ≈ 1.54
12-pack: 15.35 ÷ 12 ≈ 1.30
Question 14.
b. Which package has the better price per ounce?
____________
Answer:
First, find the total number of ounces by multiplying the number of bars times the number of ounces per bar. then find the unit rates per ounce by dividing the costs by the total number of ounces the 10-pack has the better price per ounce.
10-pack: 10 × 2.1 = 21 ounces
12-pack: 12 × 1.4 = 16.8 ounces
10-pack: 15.37 ÷ 21 ≈ 0.73
12-pack: 15.35 ÷ 16.8 ≈ 0.91
Question 14.
c. Which package do you think is a better buy? Justify your reasoning.
____________
Answer:
The 10-pack is a better deal since the price per ounce is a better measure to use than price per bar. The number of bars doesn’t tell you how you are actually buying since the bars can be very small meaning the number of ounces you are actually buying is small.
Question 15.
Check for Reasonableness
A painter painted about half a room in half a day. Coley estimated the painter would paint 7 rooms in 7 days. Is Coley’s estimate reasonable? Explain.
____________
Answer:
If a painter can paint half a room in a half day, then he can paint 1 room in 1 day.
This would be equivalent to painting 7 rooms in 7 days so his estimate is reasonable.
7 rooms ÷ 7 days = 1/2 room ÷ 1/2 days

The costs per day were $18.50 for Rent-All, $21.98 for A-1 Rentals, and $19.25 for Car Town so Reant All offers the best deal since it offers the lowest cost per day.
Thus the company that offers the best deal is Rent-All.
Question 8.
Critique Reasoning
A skydiver jumps out of an airplane. After 0.8 seconds, she has fallen 100 feet. After 3.1 seconds, she has fallen 500 feet. Imtiaz says that the skydiver should fall about 187.5 feet in 1.5 seconds. Is his answer reasonable? Explain.
_______
Answer: No. He assumed the rate of descent was proportional but the rate is increasing as time increased.
Explanation:
Since 100 ÷ 0.8 = 125, the skydiver fell at a speed of 125 ft per second for the first 0.8 seconds.
Since 500 ÷ 3.1 = 161, the skydiver fell at a speed of about 161 ft per second for the first 3.1 seconds.
The rate of descent is then increased as time increases and is not proportional since 125 ≠ 161.
Since 187.5 ÷ 1.5 = 125, he assumed the rate of descent was proportional. His estimate is then not reasonable.
The actual rate of descent should be between 125 and 161.3 since 1.5 seconds is between 0.8 and 3.1 seconds.

Question 16.
Make a Conjecture
There is a proportional relationship between your distance from a thunderstorm and the time from when you see lightning and hear thunder. If there are 9 seconds between lightning and thunder, the storm is about 3 kilometers away. If you double the amount of time between lightning and thunder, do you think the distance in kilometers also double? justify your reasoning.
_______
Answer: Yes the distance will also double. If the relationship is proportional then distance/time = k
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Since the time was 9 seconds for 3km, then for 18 seconds the distance would be 6 km since 3/9 = 6/18.
6 is double 3 so the distance doubles when the time doubles.
Question 17.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas
A store sells 3 ears of corn for $1. They round prices to the nearest cent as shown in the table. Tell whether you would describe the relationship between cost and number of ears of corn as a proportional relationship. Justify your answer.
_______
Answer:
Since 0.33 ÷ 1 = 0.33, 0.67 ÷ 2 = 0.335, 1.00 ÷ 3 = 0.33.., 1.34 ÷ 4 = 0.335, the relationship is approximately proportional since all the ratios are approximately equal. The difference in the ratios com from rounding the amount charged to the nearest cent.
Question 18.
Jack is 12 and his sister Sophia is 16. Jack says that the relationship between his age and Sophia’s age is proportional and the constant of proportionality is \(\frac{12}{16}\) Do you agree? Explain.
____________
Answer:
Given that current age of Jack = 12 years
Given that current age of Sophia = 16 years
Jack says that the relationship between his age and Sophia‘s is proportional
If Jack’s age is represented by y and Sophia’s age by x then we can write y=kx as they are in proportion
where k is called constant of proportion
Now let’s plug given ages of each that is y=12 and x=16 into y=kx to find the constant of proportionality
12=k×16
12/16=k
Which is the same as the given value of the constant of proportionality?
Hence Jack is right about his statement.
But if you think about practical life situation then the age of both will not be in proportion
For example, after 1 year Jack’s age will be 13 and Sophie’s age will be 17
then constant of proportionality using new values will be 13/17
Clearly 12/16 and 13/17 are not same.
So in practical life, the age of both will not in proportion.
Question 19.
Luke’s turkey chili recipe calls for 1.5 pounds of ground turkey for every 6 servings. How many servings can he make if he has 5 pounds of ground turkey? Show your work.
____________ servings
Answer: 20 servings
Explanation:
Given,
Luke’s turkey chili recipe calls for 1.5 pounds of ground turkey for every 6 servings.
So if 1.5 pounds of turkey can get you 6 servings
1.5 = 6
3 = 12
4.5 = 18
5 =?
to find what 5 pounds are equal to we must do 1.5/6 to find the unit rate of 0.25. We then add 0.25 to 18.25 servings or if you round you can get about 18 servings.
18 + 0.25 × 8 = 18 + 2 = 20

Question 1.
A student reads 65 pages per hour.
____________
Answer:
Given that,
A student reads 65 pages per hour.
3 hours: 3 × 65 = 195 pages
5 hours: 5 × 65 = 325 pages
10 hours: 10 × 65 = 650 pages
We need to find the number of hours for 585 pages by dividing the number of pages by 65 since the students read 65 pages per hour:
585 pages: 585 ÷ 65 = 9 hours
A relationship is proportional if the quotient of each ordered pair is constant. Since the student is reading at a constant rate of 65 pages per hour, and the quotient of each ordered pair in the table is 65, the relationship is proportional.
Question 2.

Question 7.
School is 2 miles from home along a straight road. The table shows your distance from home as you walk home at a constant rate.
a. Is the relationship in the table proportional?
___________
Answer: no
Since 1.5/10 = 0.15 and 1/20 = 0.05, the relationship is not proportional since the ratios are not equal.
Question 7.
b. Find your distance from school for each time in the table.
Type below:
___________
Answer:
Since the distance between school and home is 2 mi,
the distance from school when the distance from home is 1.5 mi is 2 – 1.5 = 0.5 mi,
for 1 mi its 2 – 1 = 1 mi, and for 0.5 mi it is 2 – 0.5 = 1.5 mi.
Question 7.
c. Write an equation representing the relationship between the distance from school and time walking.
Type below:
___________
Answer: y = -0.05 x + 2
Explanation:
At time t = 0, you are 2 mi from home since the distance from home to school is 2 mi. This means the y-intercept, b is 2.
To find the slope of the line, find the rate of change:
m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1) = (1 – 1.5)/(20 – 10) = -0.5/10 = -0.05
The line is then y = mx + b
y = 0.5x + 2.

Question 3.
The table below shows the proportional relationship between Juan’s pay and the hours he works. Complete the table. Plot the data and connect the points with a line.
Type below:
____________
Answer:
First, find the constant of proportionality.
Let y represent pay and x represents the number of hours worked.
The constant of proportionality = y/x = 40/2 = 20
Hence, for 1 hour of work, he earns $20.
To find how many hours he needs to work $80, we divide 80 by the constant of proportionality.
80/20 = 4
For 1 hour he earns $20, so for 5 hours he earns 5 × 20 = $100.
For 1 hour he earns $20, so for 6 hours he earns 6 × 20 = $120.
