Standard 6.N.8 - Use division to solve the unit rate equation.
Included Skills: Ratios
Demonstrate an understanding of ratio concretely, pictorially, and symbolically. • Observe situations relevant to self, family, or community which could be described using a ratio, write the ratio, and explain what the ratio means in that situation. • Critique the statement "Ratios and fractions are the same thing". • Create representations of and compare part/whole and part/ part ratios (e.g., from a group of 3 boys and 5 girls, compare the representations boys to girls, boys to entire group, and girls to entire group - 3:5, 3:8, and 5:8 respectively). • Express a ratio in colon and word form. • Describe a situation in which a ratio (given in colon, word, or fractional form) might occur. • Solve situational questions involving ratios (e.g., the ratio of students from a Grade 6 class going to a movie this weekend to those not going to a movie is 15:8. How many students are likely in the class and why?)
