Equivalent Ratios and Unit Price

Mrs. Nelson presents a sixth-grade math lesson on equivalent ratios, focusing on using tables to solve unit price problems. The lesson includes an activity comparing taco prices, where students learn to calculate and compare costs using equivalent ratios. The video concludes with a recap of the lesson's objective.

What is the main objective of the lesson on equivalent ratios?

• To calculate the area of a circle

• To understand the history of tacos

• To use tables to solve problems about unit price

• To learn how to cook tacos

If Noah bought 4 tacos for $6, how many tacos can he buy for $15?

• 8 tacos

• 10 tacos

• 12 tacos

• 15 tacos

What was the cost per taco for Noah's purchase?

• $1.25

• $1.75

• $2.00

• $1.50

What mathematical operation was used to find how many tacos Noah could buy for $15?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

How much did Jada's family pay for 50 tacos?

• $72

• $70

• $75

• $80

Were Jada's tacos the same price as Noah's?

• No, Jada's tacos were cheaper

• No, Jada's tacos were more expensive

• Yes, they were the same price

• They were exactly the same price

How much would Noah have paid for 50 tacos at his rate?

• $75

• $70

• $80

• $72

By how much did Jada's cost for 50 tacos differ from Noah's?

• $3 less

• $5 more

• $5 less

• $3 more

What is the significance of using a table of equivalent ratios?

• To calculate discounts

• To make cooking easier

• To solve problems about unit price efficiently

• To understand historical prices

Why is it not necessary to know the exact rate per taco to answer the comparison question?

• Because the lesson is about cooking

• Because the number of tacos is irrelevant

• Because the exact rate is always the same

• Because the total cost difference is enough
