Unit 1
CLO: Students will be able to ____________ several ways for writing a ratios. Learn methods for
solving proportions and solve problems by writing and solving proportions.
Opening Exercise
1. A _________________________________________ is a comparison of two amounts by division or by colon (
: ).
For example, if there are 3 goldfish in a tank of 5 fish total, then the _______________________________of
3
5
goldfish to total fish can be written as 3 to 5, 3:5, or .
2. Two quantities that change at the same rate, so they keep equal ratios, are
___________________________________________.
For example, the dimensions of the rectangles below are _____________________________.
4 cm
2 cm
5 cm
10 cm
2
5
, or

Gizmo Warm-up
If you could travel to the Moon, you would weigh less there. So would a baseball, or a car, or
anything. Like the prices above, the weights of any two objects would change proportionally.
In the Beam to Moon GizmoTM, you can find what your weight would be on the Moon with ratios
and proportions. A proportion is an equation of two equal ratios.
1. In the Gizmo, be sure Pounds is selected at the bottom right, and be sure the Moon is
selected. Drag the flower onto the first scale, on Earth, and then onto the scale on the Moon.
A. What is the flowers Earth weight?
2. Type your weight at the top left corner of the Gizmo and hit Enter. Then select Newtons.
A. What is your weight in pounds?
In Newtons?
Explain. ____________________________________________________________________________
