Understanding Proportional Relationships and Rates

The video tutorial covers lesson three in module one, focusing on identifying proportional and non-proportional relationships in tables. It includes examples such as babysitting pay, movie rental costs, candy purchases, and driving distances. The lesson emphasizes understanding unit rates and constant rates to determine proportionality. Exercises and a problem set are provided to reinforce learning.

• $12

• $6

In the snowfall example, which unit rate indicates a non-proportional relationship?

• 5

• 3

• 2.5

• 2

What is the unit rate for renting a movie for six days?
