How I stopped an Alien Invasion using Proportion !

Alien Story : Long long ago , a group of math students saved the earth from aliens by using PROPORTIONS ! YAY !


Okay , so I think the homework was to use proportions to stop alien's from invading earth by taking 3 questions from pages 67, 68, and 69 , so here I go !


Page 67 , Question 5:

5. What is the unit rate in each?
a) Two pens cost 94¢.
b) Four blocks stacked one on top of
the other are 24 cm high.

a)

b
)

Page 67 , Question 9

9. Determine the missing value to make each
rate equivalent. Include the units.

a)
b)


c) d)



Page 68 , Question 16

A gardener takes a half hour to mow and
weed a lawn that measures 20 m by 15 m.
He charges $25 per hour. How much
should the gardener receive for a lawn that
measures 40 m by 30 m?

He will earn $25 because if it takes him half an hour ( 30 minutes ) to do 20m by 15m it will take him 1 hour to do 40m by 30m because 20m x 2 = 40m and 15m x 2 = 30m .



Hope you like it !
