Lesson 2.5

Introduction

Course Objectives

This lesson will address the following course outcomes:

· 10. Apply quantitative reasoning strategies to solve real-world problems with proportional relationships using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents as appropriate.

Specific Objectives

Students will understand

· the concept of population density as a ratio.

· what is meant by proportional or change based on a constant ratio.

Students will be able to

· estimate between which two powers of 10 a quotient of large numbers lies.

· calculate a unit rate.

· solve a proportion by first finding a unit rate and then multiplying appropriately.

Find which state from the previous two problems has the greatest population density. Hint

State:

Calculate that population density. Round to the nearest tenth.

Population Density: people/square mile

Find which state from the previous problems has the least population density.

State:

Calculate that population density. Round to the nearest tenth.

Population Density: people/square mile

Scaling Densities

If we knew population density and land area, we could use this to estimate the population. We'll explore that in the next few problems.

#6 Points possible: 10. Total attempts: 5

Tacoma, WA has a population of about 200,000 and covers approximately 62 square miles. New York City has a population of about 8.4 million, and covers approximately 469 square miles. If Tacoma had the same population density as New York City, what would the population of Tacoma be (accurate to the nearest hundred thousand)?

Try the problem on your own first. If you are having trouble after 2 tries, we will break it down.

The population of Tacoma would be people

#7 Points possible: 5. Total attempts: 5

Most of the world outside the United States uses the metric system of measurement, so it is often useful to be able to make comparisons between the American system and the metric system.

Bangladesh has a population density of 1,127 people/square kilometer. 1 kilometer = 0.62 mile.

Suppose you converted the density of Bangladesh to square miles. Would a square mile contain more people, less people, or the same number of people as a square kilometer?

· More people

· The same number of people

· Less people

#8 Points possible: 5. Total attempts: 5

Which of the following statements is the most accurate description of the relationship between a square kilometer and a square mile?

· A square kilometer is about one-sixth of a square mile.

· A square kilometer is about two-thirds of a square mile.

· A square kilometer is about one-third of a square mile.

· A square kilometer is about six-tenths of a square mile.

#9 Points possible: 10. Total attempts: 5

Now let's combine the ideas from the last three questions. Tacoma, WA has a population of about 200,000 and covers approximately 62 square miles. Bangladesh has a population density of 1,127 people/square kilometer. How many people would be in Tacoma if the population density were the same as Bangladesh? Give an answer accurate to the nearest hundred people.

Try the problem on your own first. If you are having trouble after 2 tries, we will break it down.

The population of Tacoma would be people

HW 2.5

#1 Points possible: 5. Total attempts: 5

Which of the following was one of the main mathematical ideas of the lesson?

· You can find a new value that is changing by a constant rate by multiplying by a ratio. Example: A person’s wage is $10.35/hour. How much does the person earn in 40 hours? $10.35/hour × 40 hours = $414.

· A percent is a ratio compared to 1. Example: 12% increase in population means that the number of people increases by 12 for every 1 person in the original population.

· Population density measures how crowded a state is. Example: 2.3 people per square mile is less dense than 8.7 people per square mile.

· You can find a new value that is changing by a constant rate by adding a ratio. Example: A car’s gas mileage is 20 miles/gallon. How far can it drive on 5 gallons of gasoline? 20 mi/gal + 5 = 25 miles.

#2 Points possible: 5. Total attempts: 5

In the lesson, you used ratios in the form of population densities. A population density is a ratio because it is a comparison of two measures: Number of people per number of square miles. Which of the following are ratios? There may be more than one correct answer.

· 5 lb/$3

· 67 hours

· 10 miles/hour

· 252 miles

· The American rate of oil consumption is 7,452,380 gallons of oil per day.

· The American rate of oil consumption per person is about 2.5 gallons of oil use per day.

· The American rate of oil consumption is 5 more gallons of oil per day than the world rate.

Chickens that are not caged 24-hours a day are sometimes called “free-range” chickens. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) allows chickens to be called free-range as long as the chickens spend some of their time outside. The European Union (EU), however, has several additional restrictions. One of these is that the farmers must provide enough outside area so that if all the chickens were outside, the density of chickens would be no more than 0.25 chickens/sq meters.1

a. How many square meters does the EU require for one chicken? square meters

b. A farmer in the United States wants to meet the EU guidelines. She measures her area in yards. Rounded to the nearest square yard, how many square yards does she need for 1,100 chickens? (1 m = 1.0936 yd)

· 4,076 square yards

· 4,400 square yards

· 4,812 square yards

· 5,262 square yards

· None of the above

People often confuse the words million, billion, and trillion when speaking. An estimate can help you decide if the speaker uses the correct word. Consider this situation: A speaker says, “The U.S. federal debt is $14 billion dollars. That’s over $45,000 for every person in the country.”

Select the correct statement from the choices below. Note: When you say the numbers are consistent, you mean that they make sense in relationship to each other.

· The two numbers in the statement are not consistent. If the debt is $45,000 per person, the total debt must be $14 million.

· The two numbers in the statement are not consistent. If the debt is $45,000 per person, the total debt must be $14 trillion.

· The two numbers in the statement are consistent with each other.
