Munni and Caras were excited about their upcoming whale-watching trip. They did their research and discovered that some whales can weigh up to 150 tons. Munni’s home scale said that he weighed 120. Munni told everyone that he weighed only 30 pounds less than a whale. Was he correct?
::蒙尼和卡拉斯对即将到来的观鲸考察旅行感到兴奋。 他们进行了研究,发现一些鲸鱼的重量可达150吨。 曼尼的家庭规模说,他体重120磅。 曼尼告诉所有人,他比鲸鱼少了30磅。 他是否正确?In this concept, you will learn to use proportions and unit analysis .
::在这个概念中,你将学会使用比例和单位分析。Using Proportions and Unit Analysis
::使用比例和单位分析A proportion is created when two ratios are found to be equivalent or equal.
::当发现两个比率对等或相等时,就形成一个比例。is a proportion.
::1 2 = 3 6 是一个比例。A unit rate is a comparison of two measurements, one of which has a value of 1.
::A单位费率是两项测量的比较,其中一项测量值为1。is a unit rate.
::55 m i e s 1 h o u r 是单位费率。A unit scale is a ratio that compares the dimensions of an actual object to the dimensions of a scale drawing or model that represents the actual object.
::单位比例尺是指将实际物体的尺寸与代表实际物体的尺度图象或模型的尺寸进行比较的比率。is a unit scale.
::1 n c h 11 f e e e t 是单位比例表。A standard unit is one that is most commonly used.
::标准单位是最常用的单位。Both the customary and metric systems of measurement include weight (or mass), length , and liquid volume standard units.
::习惯和衡量系统包括重量(或质量)、长度和液体体积标准单位。Some examples are:
::举例如下:Customary standard weight: 16 ounces = 1 pound
::习惯标准重量:16盎司=1磅Metric standard length: 1 meter = 100
::计量标准长度:1米=100Customary standard liquid: 4 quarts = 1 gallon
::习惯标准液体:4夸特=1加仑These are called conversion factors and can be defined as the ratio of a measurement in one unit to the equivalent numerical value in another unit.
::这些称为换算系数,可界定为一个单位的计量与另一个单位的等值数值之比。The ratio for ounces to pounds is 16:1 or .
::盎司对磅的比率为16:1或16 u n c e s 1 p o u n d。Standard units of measurement and proportions can be used to convert one unit of measurement to another. The process of converting one unit to another is called unit conversion . Units can be converted by using proportions, setting ratios equal to one another, or by unit analysis, multiplying times a standard unit of measure.
::标准计量单位和比例单位可用于将一个计量单位转换为另一个计量单位。将一个单位转换为另一个单位的过程称为单位转换过程。单位可以使用比例转换,设定等同比率,或单位分析,乘以标准计量单位的乘数。Here is an example using proportions.
::以下是一个使用比例的例子。A pitcher holds 4 liters of water. Determine how many milliliters of water the pitcher holds. Use the unit conversion: 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
::投手持有4升水。确定投手持有多少毫升水。使用单位转换:1升=1000毫升First, write the unit conversion as a fraction.
::首先,将单位转换写成一个分数。Next, write a ratio that compares the unit as it is given to the unknown converted unit.
::下一步,写出一个比例,将单位与给给给给未知转换单位的单位进行比较。Remember that a ratio standing alone can be written with either value in the numerator or denominator, but once it is used in a calculation, it must be formatted accordingly.
::请注意,单立比率可以用分子或分母中的值来写出,但一旦在计算中使用,则必须相应地格式化。Unit to be converted = from 4 liters to x milliliters
::要转换的单位 = 从4升转换为x毫升This could be written as .
::这可以写成4 l i t e r s x m i i i i e t e r r r o r x i i i i i e e r r s 4 l i t e r r 。Then, write a proportion using the correct format. When writing a proportion, the units must be consistent.
::然后,使用正确的格式写一个比例。在写一个比例时,单位必须一致。is correct.
::1 i i t r 1000 m i i i i i t r r s = 4 l i i t e r s i i i i i i t e r s 正确。Next, solve by cross multiplication.
::下一步,通过交叉乘法解决。
::x = 40000The answer is x = 4,000 ml.
::答案是x=4,000毫升。Another way to solve the same problem is to use unit analysis.
::解决同一问题的另一种办法是使用单位分析。First, write the unit conversion as a fraction.
::首先,将单位转换写成一个分数。Next, write a ratio for the unit to be converted.
::下一步,写出要转换的单位的比率 。When using unit analysis, the correct format will be such that after multiplication, the “from” units will cancel, and the answer will equal the “to” units.
::当使用单位分析时,正确的格式是,乘以后,“自”单位将取消,回答等于“至”单位。Then, cancel liters, and multiply.
::然后,取消公升数,再乘数。The answer is 4,000 ml.
::答案是4,000毫升。Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Earlier, you were given a problem about Munni and Caras, who are going on a whale-watching trip.
::早些时候,你被问及 蒙尼和卡拉斯的问题, 他们要去观鲸旅行。Munni said a whale that weighed 150 tons was only 30 more than his weight of 120. Munni forgot the whale’s weight was in tons, and his was in pounds. Find the whale’s weight in pounds.
::Munni说,一头体重150吨的鲸鱼只比120吨的重量多出30倍。 Munni忘了鲸鱼的重量是吨,而他的体重是磅。 找到鲸鱼的重量是磅。First, write the unit conversion as a fraction.
::首先,将单位转换写成一个分数。Next, write a ratio that compares the unit as it is given to the unknown converted unit.
::下一步,写出一个比例,将单位与给给给给未知转换单位的单位进行比较。Then, write a proportion making sure that the units are consistent.
::然后,写一个比例以确保单位的一致性。Next, solve by cross multiplication.
::下一步,通过交叉乘法解决。The answer is the whale weighs 300,000 pounds.
::答案是鲸鱼重30万磅Example 2
