Lesson 12: Ratios of Fractions and Their Unit Rates
Classwork During this lesson, you are remodeling a room at your house and need to figure out if you have enough money. You will work individually and with a partner to make a plan of what is needed to solve the problem. After your plan is complete, then you will solve the problem by determining if you have enough money.
Example 1: Time to Remodel
You have decided to remodel your bathroom and install a tile floor. The bathroom is in the shape of a rectangle and the floor measures 14 feet, 8 inches long by 5 feet, 6 inches wide. The tiles you want to use cost $5 each, and each tile covers 4 !
! square feet. If you have $100 to spend, do you have enough money to complete the project?
Make a Plan: Complete the chart to identify the necessary steps in the plan and find a solution.
What I Know What I Want to Find How to Find it
Compare your plan with a partner. Using your plans, work together to determine how much money you will need to complete the project and if you have enough money.

Exercises 1-‐2
1. Which car can travel further on 1 gallon of gas?
Blue Car: travels 18 !! miles using 0.8 gallons of gas
Red Car: travels 17 !! miles using 0.75 gallons of gas
2. Automatic pitching machines throw balls to a batter to practice eye-‐hand coordination. The machine continuously dispenses 9 baseballs into a feeder that empties its contents every 2 !
! minutes. Edin wants to
practice hitting for 10 minutes. What is the unit rate in balls per minute that the pitching machine dispenses balls? Use the unit rate to determine the number of swings Edin can take during the 10 minute interval if he swings once at every ball.

Lesson Summary
A fraction whose numerator or denominator is itself a fraction is called a complex fraction.
Recall: A unit rate is a rate, that is expressed as 𝑨𝑩 units of the first quantity per 𝟏 unit of the second quantity for
two quantities 𝑨 and 𝑩.
For example: If a person walks 𝟐 𝟏𝟐 miles in 𝟏 𝟏𝟒 hours at a constant speed, then the unit rate is
𝟐𝟏𝟐𝟏𝟏𝟒=
𝟓𝟐𝟓𝟒
∙ 𝟒𝟓 𝟒𝟓
=𝟒𝟐𝟏= 𝟒
𝟐= 𝟐 𝒐𝒓
𝟐𝟏𝟐𝟏𝟏𝟒=
𝟓𝟐𝟓𝟒
= 𝟓
𝟐∙ 𝟒𝟓= 𝟐 . The person walks 𝟐 mph.
Model Problem The back of a box of pancake mix lists the ingredients and the quantity needed to make various amounts of pancakes. Anita notices that the ratio of the dry mix needed for 20-‐24 pancakes to the ratio of the dry mix needed for 30-‐36 pancakes is 2:3. This ratio has a value of !
!. Anita also noticed that the value of the ratio of
eggs and the value of the ratio of oil between the two batches are also !!. Is the value of the ratio of milk
between the two batches !!?
Solution:
1 122 14
=3294= 32 ÷
94 =
32 ∙49 =
1218 =
