Chapter 5: Rates Lesson Review:

Today we went through the example problems in the textbook and discussed the worksheet that we did last week.

Good job, students! (We miss you, Julia~~) Thank you, Michelle!!

Some formulas:

distance = rate (speed) * time, or rate = distance/time.

Pay attention to the conversion of units:

changing from one unit of measurement to another requires using a fractional conversion factor that tells the relationship between the two units so that like units cancel as in:

2 miles = 2 miles * 5280 feet/mile (conversion factor miles to feet) = 10560 feet

Homework:

• Page 35-38: Chapter 5 Exercises
• Correction of Worksheet 2 (ratio and rates problems)

See you next Sunday!
