Unit 4 is comprised of simplifying ratios and solving proportions. Understanding how to work with and solve proportions writtens as two fractions that are equal is a
basic mathematical skill that is used frequently in everyday life. Figuring out sales prices, discounts, figuring out how many gallons of paint to buy or
following a recipe are all everyday examples of ratios and proportions.
Each lesson is comprised of a video lesson with downloadable lesson worksheets with and without solutions and a series of graded practice exams which
provide step by step solutions to every problem on the exam.
Students will learn to apply and solve simple and complex proportions containing a single variable. Students will also convert word problems into ratios
in their simplest form.
