Date: March 2, 2020

Topic: Proportional and Linear Relationships Represented
in Tables, Unit Rate

Every hour Mr. Vincent and Ms. Muscolino x y

will each put 1 pencil into an empty cup. (hours) (total
pencils)
a) How many pencils will be in the cup after 8
hours? 0
b) If the variable x represents time in hours and the 1 Your Warm Up Is
variable y represents the total number of
pencils, complete the table provided by adding 2 Due In:
the total number of pencils that will be in the cup
after each of the listed number of hours. 3
c) Write an algebraic equation that illustrates the 4
relationship between time in x hours and the
total number of pencils (y). 5
 RELATIONSHIPS, RATIOS, AND RATES

At what rate are the number of the pencils in the cup increasing?
x y Relationship: The way in which two or more quantities are
(hours) (total
pencils) connected.
Ratio: Shows how big one quantity is in comparison to another.
0 0
Rate: A ratio between two related quantities that have different
1 2 units.
2 4 Variable: An unknown quantity represented by a letter such
as x or y whose value changes in accordance with the
3 6 context of the mathematical problem.
4 8 Table of Values: A list of numbers that show value of two or
more variables in relationship to one another.

The ratio of time (hours) to pencils is 1 hour for every 2 pencils

* Two quantities are proportional to one another if they have a constant rate.
 EXAMPLES OF OTHER RATES

● Amount of miles every 1 gallon (miles per

gallon or mpg)

● Amount of miles every 1 hour (miles per

hour or mph)

● Amount of dollars every 1 hour (dollars

per hour, $/hr)
What do each of these rates have in common?

These are all examples of a specific type of rate called a unit rate.

Unit Rate: Describes how much of a quantity corresponds to one unit of

another quantity.
