standard_description: Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Write each rational number in the form
$${a\over{b}}$$
, where
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
are integers, and
$$b\neq0$$
.
a.
$${0.3333}$$
b.
$${-5.05}$$
c.
$${\sqrt{64}}$$
e.
$${\sqrt{4\over25}}$$
f.
$${\sqrt{1.21}}$$
Problem 2
A student wrote two repeating decimals as fractions using the strategy shown below.
| Given the decimal                       $$0.\overline{12}$$                       Let                       $$x=0.\overline{12}$$                       Then                         $$100x=12.\overline{12}$$              |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG|  |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG| image:: https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG | Given the decimal                       $$0.\overline{123}$$                       Let                       $$x=0.\overline{123}$$                       Then                       $$1000x=123.\overline{123}$$             |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG|  |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG| image:: https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG |
