A ratio is a comparison of two quantities that are related in some way,
of sticks
usually expressed in the form of a fraction or a colon. For example, if
there are 10 boys and 20 girls in a classroom, the ratio of boys to girls is
10:20, which can be simplified to 1:2.
A rate, on the other hand, is a comparison of two quantities that have
different units of measurement, often expressed in the form of a fraction
or a percentage. Rates are used to describe how quickly or how often
something occurs. For example, if a car travels 60 miles in one hour, its
rate of speed is 60 miles per hour (mph).
Guide learners to convert (cm to m; km to m; ml to cm; etc.) one
unit of measure to another using ratio reasoning.
To convert centimeters to meters, you need to divide the number of centimeters
by 100. This is because there are 100 centimeters in one meter.
The formula for converting centimeters to meters is:
meters = centimeters / 100
For example, if you have a length of 150 centimeters, the calculation would be:
meters = 150 / 100
meters = 1.5
Therefore, 150 centimeters is equivalent to 1.5 meters.
To convert meters to centimeters, you can multiply the value in meters by 100.
For example, if you have a distance of 2 meters, you can convert it to centimeters
by multiplying 2 by 100, giving you a result of 200 centimeters.
The formula for the conversion of meters to centimeters is:
Centimeters = Meters x 100
For instance, if you have a measurement of 5.5 meters, the conversion to
centimeters would be:
Centimeters = 5.5 meters x 100
Centimeters = 550 centimeters
Therefore, 5.5 meters is equivalent to 550 centimeters.
To convert meters to kilometers, you can divide the value in meters by 1000. For
example, if you have a distance of 5000 meters, you can convert it to kilometers
by dividing 5000 by 1000, giving you a result of 5 kilometers.
The formula for the conversion of meters to kilometers is:
Kilometers = Meters / 1000
For instance, if you have a measurement of 8000 meters, the conversion to
kilometers would be:
Kilometers = 8000 meters / 1000
Kilometers = 8 kilometers
Therefore, 8000 meters is equivalent to 8 kilometers.
To convert millimeters to centimeters, you can divide the value in millimeters by
10. For example, if you have a length of 50 millimeters, you can convert it to
centimeters by dividing 50 by 10, giving you a result of 5 centimeters.
The formula for the conversion of millimeters to centimeters is:
Centimeters = Millimeters / 10
For instance, if you have a measurement of 250 millimeters, the conversion to
centimeters would be:
Centimeters = 250 millimeters / 10
Centimeters = 25 centimeters
Therefore, 250 millimeters is equivalent to 25 centimeters.
Guide learners to manipulate and use units appropriately to solve
problems.
Example: Agbo walks 4km to school every day. He uses 60minutes.
Rukiya uses 45minutes to cover 4200m. Which of the two learners
is faster?
Solution
Let's convert Rukiya's distance to kilometers:
4200 meters = 4.2 kilometers
Rukiya covers 4.2 kilometers in 45 minutes, which can be expressed
as:
Speed = Distance / Time = 4.2 km / 0.75 hours = 5.6 km/hour
Now let's calculate Agbo's speed:
Speed = Distance / Time = 4 km / 1 hour = 4 km/hour
Assessment
Convert 3200cm to meters
How many centimeters are in 60m?
Change 7.2m to centimeters.
Convert 800m to km.
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Unit pricing problems involve calculating the price per unit of a base ten cut
particular item. To solve a unit pricing problem, divide the total cost square, Bundle
of sticks
of the item by the quantity of the item. For example:
If a 24-pack of bottled water costs ₵5.99, what is the price per
bottle?
Solution:
Price per bottle = Total cost of 24-pack / Quantity of bottles
Price per bottle = ₵5.99 / 24
Price per bottle = ₵0.25
Therefore, the price per bottle of water is $0.25.
Constant speed problem:
Constant speed problems involve calculating the distance or time
taken to travel a certain distance at a constant speed. To solve a
constant speed problem, use the formula:
distance = speed x time or time = distance / speed
For example:
If a car travels at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour, how far will
it travel in 2.5 hours?
Solution:
distance = speed x time
distance = 60 mph x 2.5 hours
distance = 150 miles
Therefore, the car will travel 150 miles in 2.5 hours at a constant speed of
60 miles per hour.
Assessment
If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns
could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being
mowed?
Solution:
To find out how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours, we can
use the following proportion:
4 lawns / 7 hours = x lawns / 35 hours
Solving for x, we can cross-multiply:
4 lawns * 35 hours = 7 hours * x lawns
140 lawns = 7x
x = 20
4 lawns / 7 hours = 0.57 lawns per hour
So, the rate at which lawns were being mowed is 0.57 lawns per
hour.
