About This Book
Topic B: Rates When a ratio is used to compare two different kinds of measure (e.g. apples and oranges, or meters and hours), it is called a rate. The denominator must be 1. Example A A car can drive 725 km on 55 L of gas. What is the rate in km per L? The ratio of this is [latex]\dfrac{725\text{ km}}{55\text{ L}}[/latex]. Find the rate by making the denominator 1. Divide [latex]\dfrac{725}{55} \div \left(\dfrac{55}{55}\right) = \dfrac{725\div55}{55\div55}=\dfrac{13.18}{1}=13.18[/latex] The rate
