Step It Out

1. Amari makes orange juice from cans of frozen concentrate and water. The amounts are shown in the picture.
A. Amari wants to make 4 pitchers of orange juice. Complete the table to find how many cups of water and cups of frozen concentrate she will need.

For 1 pitcher he needs 3 cups of water and 2 cups of frozen concentrate.
For 2 pitchers he needs 6 cups of water and 4 cups of frozen concentrate.
For 3 pitchers he needs 9 cups of water and 6 cups of frozen concentrate.
For 4 pitchers he needs 12 cups of water and 8 cups of frozen concentrate.
For 5 pitchers he needs 15 cups of water and 10 cups of frozen concentrate.
Thus the ratio of cups of water to frozen concentrate is 3:2.

B. Amari’s friend Gabriela also makes orange juice from the same frozen concentrate.
Using the table, write a rate to represent Gabriela’s recipe.

From the table, we can see that for 4 cups of water she will need 3 cups of frozen concentrate.

C. Whose orange juice has a weaker flavor, Amari’s or Gabriela’s?
Step 1 Find a ratio in Gabriela’s table that has the same first quantity as a ratio in Amari’s table.
Amari: In row ____, she uses cups of concentrate.
Gabriela: In row ___, she uses cups of concentrate.
Step 2 Compare the number of cups of water used in each ratio.
Amari uses ___ cups of water while Gabriela uses ___ cups of water. ___ uses more water than ____. So, ____ orange juice will have a weaker flavor.
Step 1 Find a ratio in Gabriela’s table that has the same first quantity as a ratio in Amari’s table.
Amari: In row 1, she uses 2 cups of concentrate.
Gabriela: In row 1, she uses 3 cups of concentrate.
Step 2 Compare the number of cups of water used in each ratio.
Amari uses 3 cups of water while Gabriela uses 4 cups of water. Gabriela uses more water than Amari. So, Gabriela’s orange juice will have a weaker flavor.

Turn and Talk Is there another way you could have compared the recipes for orange juice? Explain.

2. Mrs. Morales teaches computer programming. Each student writes an average of 9 lines of code per hour.
A. Complete the double number line to find how many lines of code a student could write in a given number of hours.

Question 1.
Compare the ratios in the tables. Are they equivalent? Explain.

Sam’s Trail Mix:
The ratio of Cups of raisins to Cups of peanuts = 3:5
3 Cups of raisins/5 Cups of peanuts
6/10 = 3/5 = 3:5
9/15 = 3/5 = 3:5
Liams Trail Mix:
The ratio of Cups of raisins to Cups of peanuts = 2:3
2 Cups of raisins/3 Cups of peanuts
4/6 = 2/3
6/9 = 2/3
Thus the ratios are equivalent.

Question 2.
Ms. Markus also teaches computer programming. Each of her students is able to write an average of 5 lines of code every 30 minutes. Which class, Ms. Markus’ class or Ms. Sanchez’s class, writes code faster? Explain.

Ms. Markus also teaches computer programming.
Each of her students is able to write an average of 5 lines of code every 30 minutes.
Ms. Sanchez’s students write 12 lines in 1 hour.
5 lines for 30 minutes
2/2 × 60 = 2 × 30 = 60
3/2 × 60 = 90 minutes
4/2 × 60 = 120 minutes
5/2 × 60 = 150 minutes
Ms. Markus’s students write 10 lines in 1 hour.
12 is greater than 10.
Thus Ms. Sanchez’s students write faster than Ms. Markus’s students.

Question 5.
In art class, Greg makes gray paint by mixing 3 parts black paint to 8 parts white paint, while Tim makes gray paint by mixing 4 parts black paint to 9 parts white paint. Whose paint will be darker? Explain.

Given,
In art class, Greg makes gray paint by mixing 3 parts black paint to 8 parts white paint.
The Ratio is 3:8
Tim makes gray paint by mixing 4 parts black paint with 9 parts white paint.
The ratio is 4:9
The ratios can be written in the fraction to find which is greater.
4/9 is greater than 3/8
4/9 > 3/8
The ratio of mixing the paint of Tim’s (4/9 > 3/8) is greater than Greg’s.
Thus Tim’s paint will be darker than Greg’s paint.

Question 8.
What is the magnitude of -9? ____
Answer: The magnitude of -9 is 9.
Explanation:
The magnitude of a single number is the positive version of that number. It is also known as the absolute value.
|-9| = 9

Question 9.
Write an inequality to compare -10 and |-10|.
Inequality is a statement that two quantities are not equal.
We can write the inequality with two numbers to locate the numbers on the number line and mark them.

Here, the positive integer 10 comes to the right of -10.
Therefore “10” is greater than “-10”
It can be written as 10 > -10.
And -10 comes to the left of 10.
Therefore “-10” is smaller than “10”
It can be written as -10 < 10

Question 10.
Find the quotient of $$\frac{3}{7}$$ ÷ $$\frac{1}{3}$$. __________________
$$\frac{3}{7}$$ ÷ $$\frac{1}{3}$$
$$\frac{3}{7}$$ × $$\frac{3}{1}$$ = $$\frac{9}{7}$$
$$\frac{9}{7}$$ is an improper fraction so we have to convert into the mixed fraction.
$$\frac{9}{7}$$ = 1 $$\frac{2}{7}$$
