Step-by-step solution for: Hiet Zell - Station 1 Ratios - 7.RP: Worksheet Ayesha can run half ...
Let's solve each problem step-by-step from the 7.RP.1: Worksheet. These problems focus on unit rates, which are rates expressed as a quantity per one unit of another (e.g., miles per hour, burgers per minute).
---
Ayesha can run half a kilometer in $3\frac{1}{2}$ minutes. What's her unit rate?
- Half a kilometer = $ \frac{1}{2} $ km
- Time = $ 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} $ minutes
We want km per minute:
$$
\text{Rate} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{7}{2}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{1}{7} \text{ km/min}
$$
But usually, we express speed in km/hour.
Convert to km/hour:
$$
\frac{1}{7} \text{ km/min} \times 60 \text{ min/hour} = \frac{60}{7} \approx 8.57 \text{ km/h}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{60}{7}} $ km/h or approximately 8.57 km/h

What’s an equivalent unit rate to eating 5 burgers in $ \frac{1}{3} $ of a minute?
- Burgers: 5
- Time: $ \frac{1}{3} $ minute
Rate = $ \frac{5}{\frac{1}{3}} = 5 \times 3 = 15 $ burgers per minute
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{15} $ burgers per minute
---
Teddy can watch $ \frac{4}{3} $ commercials in $ \frac{1}{6} $ of an hour. How many could he watch in an hour?
- Commercials: $ \frac{4}{3} $
- Time: $ \frac{1}{6} $ hour
Rate = $ \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}} = \frac{4}{3} \times 6 = 8 $ commercials per hour
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{8} $ commercials per hour

A recipe calls for $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of sugar and $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup of flour. If you’ve got 3 cups of flour and want to adjust the recipe so you use it all, how much sugar do you need?
Find the ratio of sugar to flour:
$$
\frac{\text{sugar}}{\text{flour}} = \frac{1/2}{3/4} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2}{3}
$$
So for every 1 cup of flour, you need $ \frac{2}{3} $ cup of sugar.
For 3 cups of flour:
$$
3 \times \frac{2}{3} = 2 \text{ cups of sugar}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2} $ cups of sugar

Josie can hit 8 different notes in half a second. How many notes can she play in a minute?
- In $ \frac{1}{2} $ second → 8 notes
- So in 1 second → $ 8 \times 2 = 16 $ notes
- In 60 seconds → $ 16 \times 60 = 960 $ notes
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{960} $ notes per minute

The track at Bronwyn’s school is $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile around. If she can do 3 laps in $ 4\frac{1}{2} $ minutes, how fast is she running in miles per hour?
- Distance per lap: $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile
- 3 laps = $ 3 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} $ miles
- Time: $ 4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} $ minutes
Speed in miles per minute:
$$
\frac{3/4}{9/2} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ mi/min}
$$
Convert to mph:
$$
\frac{1}{6} \times 60 = 10 \text{ mph}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{10} $ miles per hour

If Emeril can grill $ \frac{6}{7} $ of a steak in $ \frac{3}{14} $ of an hour, how many steaks can he grill in a full hour?
- Steaks grilled: $ \frac{6}{7} $
- Time: $ \frac{3}{14} $ hours
Rate = $ \frac{6/7}{3/14} = \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{14}{3} = \frac{84}{21} = 4 $
So he grills 4 steaks per hour
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{4} $ steaks per hour
---
Jo paid $10.25 for $ \frac{5}{2} $ gallons of gas. What is the price per gallon?
- Total cost: $10.25
- Gallons: $ \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 $
Price per gallon:
$$
\frac{10.25}{2.5} = 4.10
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\$4.10} $ per gallon

A Boeing 747 cruises at 570 mph. How far can it fly in $ \frac{9}{8} $ hours?
Use: Distance = Rate × Time
$$
570 \times \frac{9}{8} = \frac{5130}{8} = 641.25 \text{ miles}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{641.25} $ miles

You finished all 10 problems in $ 6\frac{2}{3} $ minutes. What was your unit rate?
- Problems: 10
- Time: $ 6\frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} $ minutes
Unit rate = problems per minute:
$$
\frac{10}{20/3} = 10 \times \frac{3}{20} = \frac{30}{20} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \text{ problems per minute}
$$
Alternatively, problems per minute: $ \boxed{1.5} $
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{1.5} $ problems per minute
