In math we are learning about ratios, rates, and proportions.  For example: *If 15 students wear red on Monday and 9 wear another color, what is the ration or students wearing red to not wearing red?        The ratio is 15 to 9.  -->   (also written as 15:9 or 15/9)

*If a motorcycle travels 120 miles in 3 hours and a car travels 80 miles in 2 hours, are the vehicles traveling at proportional rates?

      _120 miles_ = _80 miles_           
          3 hours           2 hours

120 / 3 = 40 miles/hr and 80 / 2 = 40 miles/hr          YES
