Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
2Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
cRepresent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn.
