  1. Proportions Mr. Swaner

  2. Cost: ___________________Weight Please answer the following questions: Does everyone pay the same cost per ounce? How do you know? Isabelle’s brother takes an extra-long time to create his dish. When he puts it on the scale, it weighs 15 ounces. If everyone pays the same rate in this store, how much will his dish cost? How did you calculate this cost? What happens if you don’t serve yourself any yogurt or toppings, how much do you pay?

  3. Does everyone pay the same cost per ounce? How do you know? Yes, it costs $0.40 per ounce. If we divide each cost value by its corresponding weight, it will give the same unit price (or unit rate) of 0.40. Since we want to compare cost per ounce, we can use the unit (cost per ounce) to determine that we want to divide each cost value by each corresponding weight value.

  4. Isabelle’s brother takes an extra-long time to create his dish. When he puts it on the scale, it weighs 15 ounces. If everyone pays the same rate in this store, how much will his dish cost? How did you calculate this cost? $6.

  5. What happens if you don’t serve yourself any yogurt or toppings, how much do you pay? $0.

  6. What does the diagram tell us? The number of ounces in a given number of cups. Is the number of ounces proportional to the number of cups? How do you know? How many ounces are there in 4 cups? 5 cups? 8 cups? How do you know?

  7. For the sake of this discussion, let’s represent the cups with 𝑥, and the ounces with 𝑦. For any number of cups x, how do we find the number of ounces, y? So 𝑦 = 8x If we want to verify that our equation is 𝑦 = 8𝑥, which 𝑥 and 𝑦 values can we use to see if it is true? How do you know?

  8. b. Are Alex’s total earning proportional to the number of weeks he worked? How do you know? a. Work with a partner to answer Alex’s question. b. Are Alex’s total earning proportional to the number of weeks he worked? How do you know?

  9. How do we know if two quantities are proportional to each other? Two quantities are proportional to each other if there is one constant number that is multiplied by each measure in the first quantity to give the corresponding measure in the second quantity. How can we recognize a proportional relationship when looking at a table or a set of ratios? If each of the measures in the second quantity is divided by its corresponding measure in the first quantity and it produces the same number, called a constant.

  10. Exit Ticket Ms. Albero decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at the Student Government party. The directions said to mix 2 scoops of powdered drink mix with a half a gallon of water to make each pitcher of juice. One of Ms. Albero’s students said she will mix 8 scoops with 2 gallons of water to get 4 pitchers. How can you use the concept of proportion to decide whether the student is correct?
