Rates A rate is a comparison between two quantities of different units Example: Determine the rate involve in each of the

following situations. Identify the two quantities involve in each rate. a) The bus fare for a passenger travelling from Batu Pahat to Johor Bahru is RM10. The rate = RM 10 per passenger The two quantities = amount of money and number of passenger. b) A car consumes 1 litre of petrol every 12 km. The rate = 12 km per litre The two quantities = distance and volume Calculating rates Example: a) A car uses 30 litres of petrol for a journey of 375 km. Calculate its rate of petrol consumption in litre per km. The rate = 30 litre per 375 km =
30

375 = 0.08 = 0.08 litre per km

b) A total of 1.2 litres of water leaked from a tank in 15 seconds. Calculate the rate of leakage in cm3 per second. The rate = 1.2 litres per 15 seconds. = 1 200 cm3 per 15 seconds =
1200 15

= 80

= 80 cm3 Exercise
