STANDARDS BEING ADDRESSED: PREVIOUS UNIT(S):
 Compute unit rates associated with ratios Rational Number
of fractions, including ratios of lengths,
areas, and other quantities measured in
Operations
like or different units. (7.RP.A.1) FOLLOW-UP UNIT(S):

relationships between quantities
Expressions, Equations, and
(7.RP.A.2) Inequalities
 Use proportional relationships to solve
multistep ratio and percent problems
(7.RP.A.3)

Proportional Relationships

PREREQUISITE SKILLS:
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a
ratio relationship between two quantities (6.RP.A.1)
Understand the concept of unit rate and use rate language in the context
of a ratio relationship (6.RP.A.2)
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 (6.RP.A.3a)
Express whole numbers as fractions and recognize fractions are
equivalent to whole numbers (3.NF.A.3c)
