Task 2:

1. 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about _____mph Answer: 72 mph

2. As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

Answer: 200m

Task 3:

What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?

3/4= 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

Answers:

First: You can do it Diagonally, you multiply the top left to the bottom right and the top right to the bottom left.

Second: You can do it vertically, you divide the numerator to the denominator for each ratios.

Last: You can divide the top left to the top right, then you divide the bottom left to the bottom right.

Task 5:

Ex Mortage CEO sentenced to prison for 3 years for a 3Billion dollar fraud.

Homeless man sentenced to prison for 15 years for stealing 100 dollars from a bank.

1) Does this seem fiar?

No this is not fair at all.

2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does this seem just and fair?

Its not fair at all. I made this choice because the guy who stole 3billion dollars only got sentenced to prison for 3 years. And the homeless man who was starving for food and wanting to stay in his shelter got sentenced to prison for 15 years, which is 12 years longer than the CEO who stole 3billion dollars.

3) What would you have done if you were the judge?

If i was the Judge. I would let the homeless man go off with a warning because he's homeless and he needs food and he also needs money to stay in the shelter.

Cindy's Proportion Post

Ratio: Is a comparison between two numbers. Ex. 3:4，6:7



Two-term ratio: compares two quantities measured in the same unit.

Three-term ratio: compares three quantities measured in the same unit.

Part-to-Part ratio: compares different parts of a group to each other.



Part-to-whole ratio: compares one part of a group to the whole group.



Rate: Is a ratio that compares two things. Ex. miles per hour, the cost per pound

Proportion: Is an equation which states that two ratios or fractions that are equal. Ex. 3/4 = 6/8



1.) 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about _____mph




2.)As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.



3.What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

1.Does this seem fair?

No, it does not seem fair.

2.With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice?

I said it's not fair because the homeless man was in jail for 15 years for taking 100 dollars. The rich guy who took 3 billion dollars, which is 30 millions times more than what the homeless man took, only had to be in jail for 40 months.

3.What would you have done if you were the judge?

If I were the judge, I would try to give the homeless man less years in jail because he had went to the police and told them whet he did. I would also try to give the CEO more years in jail, because he is a highly educated adult who should know what he should do and what he should't. He needed more years in jail to learn how to be a good citizen.

Task 1

Ratio: compares two quantities measured in the same units.
written as a:b or a to b.

Three term ratios: compares three quantities measured in the same units.
written as a:b:c or a to be to c.

Part to part ratio: compares different parts of a group to each other
10:8 is the part to part ratio of brown to red beads.


Part to whole ratio: compares one part of the group to the whole group.
5:23 is the part to whole ratio of blue to total number of beads.

Rate: rates are a comparison of two quantities measured in different units.
EX.$1.69 per 100g or $1.69/100g rate for purchasing bulk foods.

Unit rate: is the

Proportion: a proportion is an equation which states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

Task 2

1. 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about _____mph
2. As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

Question 1: 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph because if you divide 360 by 5 you get 72 miles per hour.

Question 2: as a playgroup worker you increase the amount of apple juice from 25ml to 100ml

if I increase the amount of orange juice and the orange juice is 50ml i will increase the amount to 200 because when you multiply 25 by four you get 100. If you multiply 50 by 4 you get 200.

Task 3

Three ways you can prove that equivalent ratios are true......

3 /4 = 12 /16 or 4 /9 = 16 /32 you can prove this is true by multiplying diagonally and if you get the same number for both sides it is equivalent. you can do that vertically and horizontally.

Task 4

Here is a video on a way to figure out a proportion.

Hope this helps you.

Task 5

This picture up here shows a social injustice.

Question 1 answer: this is absolutely unfair just because someone is poor or homeless it doesn't mean you can treat them like garbage.

Question 2 answer: this is not just and fair because the man who stole 3 billion dollars only got about 3 years in jail. A man who stole 100 dollars and later turned himself into the police got 15 years in jail.

Question 3 answer: if i was the judge i would have the man who stole 3 billion dollars the rest of his life in jail. i would have given the man who stole 100 dollars about 2 years in jail.

Thank you for reading my post. :)

Nikka's Proportion Post

Ratio: The relation between two similar magnitudes with respect to the number oftimes the first contains the second.
Eg: 6 to 9 , 6:9 and 6/9

Rate: A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units.

Eg. 15 to 20 or 15:20

Proportion: Comparative relation between things or magnitudes as to size , quantity , number , ratio.

1) 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph.

÷5
h 5 1
---- ----- = -----
m 360 72
÷5

2) As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

5)

1) Does this seem fair?

No it is not fair.

2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice?
He frauded 3billion but only 3.5 years in prison. And the other guy stole $100 , but gave it back and surrenderd to police and he got 15 years in prison.

3) What would you have done if you were the judge?
I would which it around , instead of the first guy staying in prison for 3.5 years I would give him 15 years in prison and the other guy would get 3.5 years in prison.

Task 2:

1) 5 h to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph

The answer is 72 mph.

2) As a playgroup worker, if i increase the amount of apple juice i am serving at the playground from 25ml to 100ml, how much should i increase the orange juice to keep the same quantities of the proportion? The orange juice is 50ml to start with.

Task 3:

What are three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?

3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

Answers:

1) You can multiply or divide horizontally. (Top left to the top right, bottom left to the bottom right.

2) You can multiply or divide vertically. ( Numerator to the denominator for each of the ratios)

3) You can multiply or divide diagonally. ( Top left to the bottom right, Top right to the bottom left.)

Task 4: Here is a video on proportions. Hope you enjoy!

Task 5:

Do you think its fair?

No, i do not think it is fair.

With what you know about
proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair?
Why have you made this choice?

No i think it is not fair because the the other guy had a $3B fraud and the judge made him go to jail for just forty months, and the other homeless guy stole a $100 dollar bill because he was hungry and he is going to go to jail for 15 years.

What would you have done if you were the judge?

I would have sent the person that stole $3 billion for fifteen years and the homeless guy that stole $100 dollar bill for just 4 months to jail because first of all he made it a robbery and second of all i would let him keep the $100 dollar bill so he could buys food and clothing and make him stay at shelter for homeless people.

I hope this helped you!
