Ralph and BOB Ratio October 20 2009

Today in class we did alot of work with dealing with ratios. Our homework today was to do a post that had:

3 part to part ratios, 2 part to total ratios and 2 three part ratios

Then I had to:

write that ratio in ratio notation, fraction, decimal and percent form.

Next I would have to:

pick one and show how to create equivalent ratios.

Finally create 3 questions that you want people to answer in the comments. Do not make them to hard or too easy.

Part to Part Ratios
Green to Blue=7:1
Red to Green=6:7
Red to Yellow=6:4

Part to Total Ratios
Red to Total=6:18
Blue to Total=1:18

Three Part Ratios
Red to Blue to Yellow=6:1:4
Red to Blue to Green=6:1:7

Converting Ratio to a : Fraction, Decimal, and Percent

Red to Total : 6:18 or 6/18 or 0.33 (Infinite) or 33.33(infinite) %

Simplifying Ratios

6:18 simplified would be 1/3

6 (divided) by 6 is 1

18 (divided) by 6 is 3

6:18 = 1/3 = 0.33(infinite)

THE 3 QUESTIONS!!!

1. Express the ratio Yellow to Red in a Ratio, Fraction, Decimal, and Percent.

2. What would the ratio be if the Yellow to Red ratio if the ratio was simplified.

3. What would be the ratio of Red, Green, Blue, Yellow: Total

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!

Some mistakes I made on my test were that:

1)I didn't read the questions well enough.

One question was about votes for student council.

The part I didn't read well enough was that the ratio had to be GIRLS to BOYS .

The ratio I put was boys to girls so I got the question wrong.

2)I should find more easier and faster ways to solve harder equations.

For question 17 I had to find out what two teams were equivalent.

I spent alot of time looking for a number that I could multiply the two numbers by, when I could have,

divide the first number by the second number and see which ones match.

3)I need to always go over the test again in case I missed a question.

I could of gotten more marks if I read over all the questions. Question number 16 was a really easy question but I accidentally skipped it and went onto the next question.
