"Rates, Ratios, and Proportions" are a major part of the SAT Math section. This guided path will teach you the core frameworks for solving "work" problems, a common real-world scenario tested on the exam.
Start with the fundamental principle: converting a total time to complete a job into a rate of work per unit of time (e.g., per hour or day).
Learn how to handle common scenarios with opposing forces, like a draining pipe, by simply using a negative rate.
Use the concept of "Total Effort" as a powerful shortcut for problems involving groups of workers.
Learn the step-by-step process of translating a real-world SAT word problem into a solvable algebraic model using the Work = Rate × Time formula.
