Converting Unit Rates

Good evening girls and boys,

We are now on our third lesson from this chapter and it is Converting Unit Rates. Do you get the feeling that Unit Rates are important?!!! This lesson is a tad difficult, but we will take it in steps.  The lesson covers one step conversion as well as a two step conversion.  This is a great deal of work, so we will divide this lesson into two...... 

The vocabulary for this lesson is Unit Ratio and Dimensional Analysis ( now THAT is a vocab word!).   Unit Ratio is rather similar to unit rate.  Unit Ratio has a denominator of 1 but both units are the same.  Unit Rate the units are different.  

Dimensional Analysis is the process of converting the units.  I bet this is as clear as mud, but hang on and it should be clearer soon.  

Here are two of my puppies.  The little lady in purple dots is Tequilla who is 8 years old and the little lady in blue dots is Lola who is 6 years old. 
 Please send in pics of your pets or interests.

For homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer.
