Owen's %%%%%'s Rate Growing Post

For homework we had to make a Rate Growing Post.

Define Rate and Ratio:

Ratio-compares two quantities of the same kind.

What is the difference between Rate and Ratio:

Ratio compares two quantities measured in units.

Rate compares two different quantities and it is also measured in different units.

Pick a question:

11. Shannon buys 12 granola bars for $9.96.

a. Determine the price per bar. Give your answer in dollars and cents.

Answer: $0.83/bar

b. Explain whether your answer in part a) is a ratio or rate.

The answer in part a is a rate because the units are the not same kind that were used.
