  1. How do you identify the constant of proportionality from a ratio table?

  2. In this lesson you will learn how to identify the constant of proportionality in ratio tablesby dividing.

  3. Unit Rate How many of a given quantity that you have “for every” or “per” another quantity 2 people 10 people = 1 square mile 5 square miles mile 5 square miles = 1 person 10 people

  4. Neglecting to include units! 45 inches 45 bananas $45

  5. Constant – a quantity having a fixed value that does not change or vary, such as a number. Constant of Proportionality – a constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities.

  6. Let x and y be two proportional quantities. Let k be a constant. y = kx y x = k = 1 x y k

  7. What are the constants of proportionality?

  8. Constants of Proportionality 82.5 people 313,232,044 people 1 mile2 3,794,100 miles2 0.012 miles2 3,794,100 miles2 1 person 313,232,044 people

  9. Population Density – the constant of proportionality determined by dividing the population by the area. 82.5 people 83 people Population Density 83 people per mile2

  10. About how many people are there for every 25 miles2? 83 x 25 = 2,075 people About how many people are there for every 500 miles2? 83 x 500 = 41,500 people

  11. In this lesson you have learned how to identify the constant of proportionality in ratio tablesby dividing.

  12. What is the population density in the United Kingdom?

  13. Research the area and population of at least three different countries of your choice. Use this information to calculate the population density of each country. Next, create a table to display this information. Finally, compare the population densities of these countries.

  14. Find at least 3 circular objects. Measure the circumference and diameter of each object. Then divide the circumference by the diameter. Record your data in a table with three columns (circumference, diameter, and circumference/diameter). What do you notice about the ratios of the circumferences to the diameters of your 3 circular objects?

  15. What is the population density in Uganda? What is the population density in the Ukraine?
