STANDARDS Standard 6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world (with a context) and mathematical (void of context) problems, using strategies such as reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations involving unit rate problems. ​ a. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number ​ ​ ​ measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios. ​ b. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. ​ c. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100. Solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. ​ d. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units ​ appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
