Ratios and Rates<br />

Concept Summary<br />

• A ratio is a comparison of two numbers by division.<br />

• A rate is a ratio of two measurements having different units of measure.<br />

• A rate that is simplified so that it has a denominator of 1 is called a<br />

unit rate.<br />

Express the ratio 2 meters to 35 centimeters as a fraction in simplest form.<br />
