Example Question #59 : Numbers And Operations

At a car production company, manufacturers place tires and transmission on every car in the production line. A manager orders tires, how many transmissions should he order?

Possible Answers:

$1\ \text{transmission}$

$5\ \text{transmissions}$

$2\ \text{transmissions}$

$4\ \text{transmissions}$

$3\ \text{transmissions}$

Correct answer:

$2\ \text{transmissions}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must make a table of ratios. In the question we are given the base ratio:

$4\ \text{tires}:1\ \text{transmission}$

We can use this ratio to make a table.

Tires

According to the table, the manager should order $2\ \text{transmissions}$ .

Example Question #1 : Solve Unit Rate Problems: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Rp.A.3b

At a local market, farmers trade produce to obtain a more diverse crop. A farmer will trade turnips for ears of corn. If a man has ears of corn, then how many turnips can he get?

Possible Answers:

$94\ \text{turnips}$

$43\ \text{turnips}$

$22\ \text{turnips}$

$39\ \text{turnips}$

$93\ \text{turnips}$

Correct answer:

$39\ \text{turnips}$

Explanation:

Ratios can be written in the following format:

$A:B\rightarrow \frac{A}{B}$

Using this format, substitute the given information to create a ratio.

$3\ \text{corn}: 13\ \text{turnips}$

Rewrite the ratio as a fraction.

$3\ \text{corn}: 13\ \text{turnips}\rightarrow \frac{3\ \text{corn}}{13\ \text{turnips}}$

We know that the farmer has ears of corn. Create a ratio with the variable that represents how many turnips he can get.

$\frac{9\ \text{corn}}{T}$

Create a proportion using the two ratios.

$\frac{3\ \text{corn}}{13\ \text{turnips}}=\frac{9\ \text{corn}}{T}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

$9\ \text{corn}\times 13\ \text{turnips}=3\ \text{corn}\times T$

Simplify.

3T=117

Divide both sides of the equation by .

$\frac{3T}{3}=\frac{117}{3}$

Solve.

T=39

The farmer can get $39\ \text{turnips}$ .
