The question is as follows:
Find the rate if money collected per sweatshirt sold. Show your work.
Use the unit rate to complete the table
Sweatshirts Sold 3 5 8 __ 12
Money Collected 60 _ _ 180 _
The above is supposed to be a ratio table but I am not sure on how to find out the missing numbers for the above. Please help me
Find the rate if money collected per sweatshirt sold. Show your work.
Use the unit rate to complete the table
60/3 = 20
So, for each pair, the 2nd value should be 20 times the 1st value.
3 sweatshirts for $60.00=$20.00 per sweatshirt
$20.00 for 1 sweatshirt x 5 sweatshirts=$100.00
$20.00 for 1 sweatshirts x 8 sweatshirts=$160.00
$20.00 for 1 sweatshirt x 9 sweatshirts=$180.00
$20.00 for 1 sweatshirts x 12 sweatshirts=$240.00
Now I have all the numbers for the table. I am confused though for the question that asks use the unit rate to complete the table.
Use the unit rate to complete the table. The only thing I can think of is as follows:
3sweatshirts/$60.00 dollars=$0.05 for 1 sweatshirt
5 sweatshirts/$100.00=$0.05 for 1 sweatshirt.
So then the question asks. Use the unit rate to complete the table.
3 sweatshirts sold/$0.15 money collected because it would be $0.05x3=$0.15
5 sweatshirts sold/$0.25 money collected
Am I doing it right for the second way that they want the ratio table done?
Ms. H would you know how you would graph the information from the table or how you would explain how to graph the information from the table?
Also if I am using the unit rate to complete the table did I do the above correctly?
