In everyday terms and everyday language, rates of change have meaning. For example, the rates of change for some of the examples above can be worded in this manner.

Example 1

Word Problem:

You are at an amusement theme park with your 10 year old child. You bought a ticket for �1/2 day, but your child wants to stay another 4 hours after the �1/2 day is used. The admissions office can accommodate your child's additional time but the rate is $ 15 an hour. How much will it cost to purchase the additional 4 hours at this rate?

Solution to the Word Problem:

$15 / 1 Hour = $x / 4 Hours

x= 4 x 15 = $60

It will cost you an additional $60 for 4 more hours of fun for your child.

Example 2

Word Problem:

You are following a recipe for a cake for your church group's get together. This recipe calls for 3 tsp of baking powder to every 6 cups of flour. How many tsp would you add to 24 cups of flour?
