Keannas,BOB2
-Like What was your mistakes.-How will you remember what to do in future tests.
My mistake was not reading the question correctly and also not studying alot.
-To inprove this I will study ,and read the questions more than once in order to get it.
1. In a group of 84 students surveyed, the ratio of students preference is seven oatmeal eaters to four granola eaters to three toasted 0 eaters.
-of 84 students, how many prefer oatmeal ?
-Of 84 students, how many prefer granola ?
-What percent ( to one decimal place ) of the group prefers toasted 0's ?
2. A rapid transit has 17 passengers on it as it starts to run. At the first stop 3 passengers get off and 37 passengers get on. What is the ratio of the number of passengers who were on the train as it arrived in the station to the number who were on the train when it left the station?Express your answer in the lowest terms?

Justine8-17 BOB2
In the test some of my mistakes that really hurt me was not showing my work and not reading the question more better.
1. In a group of 84 students surveyed, the ratio of students preference is seven oatmeal eaters to four granola eaters to three toasted 0 eaters.
Of 84 students, how many prefer oatmeal ?
Of 84 students, how many prefer granola ?

Noelle's BOB2 ratio
One question that i got wrong with the test, was question number 4.
The question is :
Four students are runninh for student council president. Of 30 Students polled, 15 chose Mike, 3 chose Patricia, 6 chose Brian, and the rest chose karen. what is the ratio of votes for girls to votes for boys in the student council election? express the ratio in lowest terms.
The answer was choice a, but i chose b.
The reason i got that wrong was because i switched the ratio. The correct answer was 3:7 and I chose 7:3.
The next question was:
Question number 5
Eric is able to stop 85% of the shots on goal. If he faces 27 shots on goal, how many goals would likely be scored on him?
The correct answer was option b which was 4, but the answer i put was option c which was 9.
PLEASE COMMENT, BLAH.

Darlene's BOB & RATIO for Oct. 20

Today in class we did a lot of work that had to to with part-to-part ratios, part-to-total ratios and part-to-part-to-part ratios . Then Mr. Harbeck assigned us to make a scribe post about it.
Part to Part Ratios
- Green to Blue = 6:1
- Blue to Yellow = 1:4
- Red to Green = 6:6
- Green to Total = 6:17
- Blue to Total = 1:17
- Yellow to Green to Blue = 4:6:1
- Red to Yellow to Green = 6:4:6
- Blue to Yellow = 1:4, 1/4, 0.25 & 25%
- Red to Green = 6:6
- Red to Green = 3:3
Green : 6 divided by 2 = 3
The three questions !
- What would the ratio be for Green, Yellow to Total ?
- What would the ratio be for Yellow, Red, Blue, Green to total ?
- How would you write Green to Total in fraction, decimal and percent ?
Mr. Harbeck told us to re Bob our Bob post and talk about our mistakes on our test.
The mistakes I made on my test was not expressing the ratio in lowest terms and reading the question wrong even though the important things I needed to know was already highlighted.
Ex.
The ratio of the red cards to the whole deck is :
- I put in 2:4 instead of 1:2. I forgot to express the answer in the lowest terms.
2 questions that you had difficulty with

This is my BOB scribepost.
Please comment.
BOB Continued
I made mistakes by not looking my work over and by not going back to questions that I didn't get.
I can fix that on future tests by going back to do the hard questions later and reading the questions very slowly.
Warren stopped 90% of all the shots. There were 30 shots attempted. How many shots made it in?

My mistakes in my test were some of the multiple choice and the ordering ratio at the back of the test .
for example :
number 5 . Eric is able to stop 85% of the shots on goal. If he faces 27 shots on goal, how many goals would likely be scored to him ?
a. 3 b. 4 c. 9 d. 15
for that question i put , C . when the right answer was D .
One question that gave me difficulty was number 15 . Ordering the ratios from lowest terms.
Another is question 17 , About the teams with the scored by and scored against fact .

PART 2
1. What were the mistakes you made on your test. Show examples of answers that were wrong. What was your mistake? How will you remember what to do in future tests?
One mistake I made on my test was forgetting to simplify a ratio in LOWEST terms. Some of the examples of the answers were :
8:32 in simplified form would be 1:4, but some wrong answers would be 4:16 or 2:8.
10:80 in simplified form would be 1:8, but a wrong answer would be 5:40.
5:125 in simplified form would be 1:25, but a wrong answer would be 2:6.
18:27 in simplified form would be 2:3, but a wrong answer would be 6:9.
What I should do in future tests to remember how to simplify a number is, I can just think about the lowest possible way for a ratio, like splitting a number in half or dividing with larger numbers.
2. Rewrite 2 questions that gave you difficulty with different numbers. Answer the questions correctly in the comments to your blog. Encourage others to participate at your blog by getting them to answer your questions.
2 QUESTIONS.
a) Eric is able to stop 50% of the shots on goal. If he faces 16 shots on goal, how many goals would likely be scored on him.
b) A picture frame has a width to length ratio of 10:14. If the width of the photo is 18 cm, the length of the photo is ...

BOB,Ratio for October 20, 2009
The picture I chose was the "Crayon Line Up".
Part to Part Ratios:
Shades of green to purple = 3:1
Gold to shades of blue = 1:3
Shades of pink to silver = 2:1
Part to Whole Ratios:
Shades of blue to total = 3:12
Purple to total = 1:12
Shades of pink to total = 2:12
Three Part Ratios:
Gold to shades of green to silver = 1:3:1
Shades of pink to shades of blue to orange = 2:3:1
Purple to gold to shades of green = 1:1:3
Converting the ratio to a fraction, decimal, percent:
Shades of green to total = 3:12 = 3/12 = 0.25 = 25 %
Tip: to get the percent, multiply the decimal by 100 and to get the decimal you divided the numerator by the denominator.
Simplifying the Ratio:
Shades of green : total = 3:12 = 1:4 (simplified) or shades of green/total = 3/12 = 1/4 (simplified)
* To simplify the ratio, I divided 3 by 3 to get 1 and I then divided 12 by 3 to get 4 so my simplified ratio is 1:4 or 1/4.
Questions:
What would the new ratio be of the shades of pink to total crayons if it was simplified?
Express the shades of pink to silver crayons as a fraction, decimal, and percent.
If the amount of each color was doubled what would be the new ratio of the shades of blue to shades of pink and what would be your new total of crayons?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I didn't put some of my answers in lowest terms
- I didn't read the questions carefully
- I didn't show how I got my answer using ratio related strategies (ratio tables)
One of the questions I got wrong was:
3. A normal deck of playing cards has 52 cards in four suits (club, diamonds, hearts, and spades) of 13 cards each. Two of the suits are black and two suits are red. The ratio of red cards to the whole deck is
a) 1:1 b) 1:2 c) 2:3 d) 2:4
My answer for this question was letter d) 2:4.The correct answer was b) 1:2. I got this question wrong because I didn't put my answer in lowest terms.
What I need to do for my next test is:
- read the questions carefully
- show my work using ratio tables, etc.
- highlight the keywords in the questions (word ratio)
- use effective strategies to answer the questions
Two questions that gave me difficulty were:
7. A rapid transit train has 39 passengers on it as it starts its run. At the first stop 12 passengers get off and 18 passengers get on. What is the ratio of the number of passengers who were on the train as it arrived in the first station to the number who were on the train when it left the first station? Express your answer in lowest terms.
a) 2:3 b) 13:15 c) 18:12 d) 27:39
8. A picture frame has a width to length ratio of 5:7. If the width of the photo is 9cm, the length of the photo is
a) 11cm b) 12.6cm c) 14cm d) 16cm
Please answer these two questions in the comment section.
April's BOB and Ratio for Oct.20,2009.

3 PART TO PART RATIOS:
YELLOW TO ORANGE: 2:2 GREEN TO BROWN: 1:2 SILVER TO BLACK: 1:1
2 PART TO WHOLE RATIOS:
GREEN TO TOTAL: 1:22 PINK TO TOTAL: 1:22
2 THREE PART RATIOS: YELLOW TO ORANGE TO BROWN: 2:2:2 SILVER TO BLACK TO GREEN 1:1:1
THE RATIO I HAVE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT IS YELLOW TO ORANGE.
YELLOW TO ORANGE:
2:2
FRACTION:
2/2
DECIMAL:
1.00
PERCENT:
100%
HOW TO MAKE EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS:

Equivalent fractions are just equal fractions. So to
make an equivalent fractions, whatever you do to one side, you just have to do to the other side. It's that simple!
For example, this picture shows the number of orange crayons, to the number of total crayons. So to get an equivalent fraction, I just divided both the orange and total by 2. You may also divide the two different numbers if you like.
HERE ARE MY 3 QUESTIONS:
1)What is the difference of part to part ratio and part to whole ratio ?
2)How can you simplify 16/28?
3)What is the ratio for white to total pencil crayons?
WELL, THAT'S MY SCRIBEPOST FOR THE DAY. THANKS FOR LOOKING. AND PLEASE COMMENT. :)
*DON'T FORGET TO STUDY FOR THE MATH TEST TOMORROW!*
-----------------------------------------------------------
BOB CONTINUED.
MISTAKES:
Most of my mistakes were from not understanding the questions properly. Or I didn't take enough time to get the best answer. (simplifying).
Here are some examples:
3) A normal deck of playing cards has 52 cards in four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades) of 13 cards each. Two of the suits are black and two of the suits are red. The ratio of red cards to the whole deck is:
a)1:1 b)1:2 c)2:3 d)2:4
The correct answer is b, 1:2. But instead of b, I picked d. 2:4. I know that 1:2 and 2:4 are the same thing, but it needed to be simplified.
Here are some question that gave me some difficulty to answer.
In a group of 84 students surveyed, the ratio of student preference is seven oatmeal eaters to four granola eaters to three toasted O eaters.
12. Of the 84 students, how many prefer oatmeal?
13. Of the 84 students, how many prefer granola?
14. What percent (to one decimal place) of group prefers toasted O's?
17. Use the data in the table below to determine which sports teams have equivalent scored by to scored against ratios.
BOB and Ratio

Today in math class Mr.Harbeck assigned us to do a BOB. We had to pick 3 part to part ratios, 2 part to total ratios and 2 three part ratios.
Part to Part Ratio (P:P):
blue to yellow- 1:4
yellow to green- 4:6
red to blue- 6:1
Part to Total (P:T):
blue to total- 1:17
red to total- 6:17
Part to Part to Part Ratio (P:P:P):
blue to yellow to green- 1:4:6
yellow to total to red- 4:17:6
My ratio that I will be expressing in a fraction, decimal, and percent is 1:4
fraction: b/y = 1/4
decimal: 0.25
percent: 25%
The equivalent fraction for 1:4 is
1:4 = 2:8
you get that by multiplying 2 from 1:4.
My questions are:
1. What is the ratio of green to M?
2. What is the ratio of red,blue,yellow to total?
3. Wat is the ratio of purple to green?
(what makes up purple)
