Section CLXXI-1501 - Ratios and Proportional RelationshipsA. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. Example: "The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak." "For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes."
B. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b [NOT EQUALS TO] 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. Example: This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar." "We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.
C. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. 1. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.2. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. Example: If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what unit rate were lawns being mowed?
3. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30 percent of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. 4. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § CLXXI-1501
