Suppose that you have a bag of 20 marbles. You pour 5 marbles into your hand. The ratio of marbles in your hand to the total number of marbles is 5 to 20, or 5:20, or 5/20.
Rate - A comparison of two quantities that have different units of measure.
The rate at which you type may be 50 words per minute. The rate at which your parents' car travels may be 55 miles per hour.
Proportion - An equation which states that two ratios are equal.
Proportions can be used to predict information, such as: "a baseball player has a batting average of 50 hits in 100 at-bats. How many hits will she have in at-bats?"
1) 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about _____mph.
- 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 miles mph.
2) As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.
- apple/orange 25/100 = 50/200

1) No this does not seem fair.
2) This is not fair because Roy Brown, just stole 1 100 dollar bill, and then turns himself in because he felt guilty, and he gets 15 years in jail!? And a banker steals 3 billion dollars (3,000,000,000) and he gets a 40 month sentence ( 3 years and 4 months) I don't think this is fair at all!
3) If I were the judge I would sentence The Banker to 15 years of jail, and i would sentence Roy Brown 1 month of jail.
