Rates, Ratios and Proportions

We created a list of rates that are commonly used by students, teachers and adults. Each of these rates can be thought of as a ratio, and can be written as a fraction. When solving word problems that involve rates, it is important to understand the ratios can be written in 2 different ways, depending on the units required to answer the question asked. For example, a rate can be written as miles per gallon or gallons per mile.
