alex's ratio scribe post
The ratio of the width to the length on a Canadian flag is 1:2.
a) The flag on the cover of an atlas is 12 cm wide, what is it's length?
The length of the flag on the cover of the atlas would be 24 cm long because on the real Canadian flag the width is half of the length so the same would occur here and 12 is half of 24 and 12 is the width and 24 is the length.
b)A large flag outside a Calgary school is 3 meters in length, what is its width?
The width of the flag would be 1.5 meters because again the width is half the length and the length is 3 meters and half of 3 is 1.5 meters wide.
Thanks for reading

Karra's Rate growing Post
Rate - A rate is 2 quantities that are compared in diffrent units.
One diffrence i think is that a ratop compares 2 things in the same unites and a rate is compared in 2 things in diffrent units.
Page 60.
Number 4.
a) A Orca swims 110 km in 2 hrs.
Answer: You can use a ratio table but i wont draw one. So for this question you have to divide 110 by 2 that =55. So our unit rate would be 55 km/hr.
b) A Canada goose flies 800 km in 12.5 hrs.
Answer: You divide 800 by 12.5 which =64 km/hr.
2. Trevor rode his mountain bike in 84 km in 3 h. Jillian rode 70 km in 2.5 hrs. Who is the faster cyclist? How do you know?
They are both the same.How I know is because I..
calculated 3 divided by 3 to get 1. If you do one thing to one side you have to do it to the other. So I divided 3 by 84 and got 28.
on the other ratio table I divided 2.5 by 2.5 to get 1. Since I did it to one side I have to do it to the other. So I divided 2.5 by 70 and got 28.
Part 2)
What would the recipe look like if it had to serve 10 people? Show your calculations
1)1.5 divided by 4 =o.375 multiply by 10 to get 3.75
3.75 lbs ground beef
2)1 divided by 4 =0.25 multiply by 10 to get 2.5
2.5 medium onion diced
3) 1 divided by 4 =0.25 mulitply by 10 to get 2.5
2.5 celery finely slice
4) 1 divided by 4 =0.25 multiply by 10 to get 2.5
2.5 cloved of garlic
5) 14 divided by 4 = 3.5 multiply by 10 to get 35
35 oz can of tomatoes chopped
6) 1.5 divided by 4 =0.375 multiply by 10 to get 3.75

2) What would the percent be of the ratio 7 : 140.
3) What is the decimal answer for 9 : 58.
~~~~~~
Bob #2
What Did you get wrong on the Test.. How can you improve...
1) Most of my faults were because i did not convert the ratios to there lowest terms.
The reason why i had trouble with this was because Mr.Harbeck told us to only convert it to lowest terms if the question said to and because of that I did not convert it unless it said to.
2) The only question i had a real problem's with was # 12, 13, and 14.
In a group of 84 students surveyed, the ratio of student preferenceis seven oatmeal eaters to four granola eaters to three toasted O eaters.
12. Of the 84 students, how many prefur oatmeal.
13. Of the 84students, how many prefur granola.
14. what percent ( to one decimal place ) of the group prefurs Toasted O's .
Another Question that gave me trouble was ...
Write each ratio in lowest terms,
8 : 32 ~~~~
10 : 80 ~~~~
5 : 125 ~~~~
18 : 27 ~~~~
Thank You for reading my Post ...Please Comment

bob2, ratio, late post, tamika 816
sorry its late. this is the second part to bob, on the test.
I got question 5 wrong:
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?
a.3 b.4 c.9 d.15
To be honest at the time I had no idea what the answer was or how to get the answer. I guessed what the answer was I guessed c.9.
Later on at class I found out the answer and how to get it:
you just have to make a ratio table:

Another mistake I made was question 16:
You have a bag with one white ball, six red balls, eight green balls, and three purple balls. In lowest terms, what is the ratio of red balls to the whole bag of balls?
I put: 6:18 6÷6, 18÷6 the answer is 1:3. My mistake was that I didn't put a word ratio, the proper way would be:
red:total
1:3
I'll remember to put a word ratio next time.
here are questions I redid:
1-eric is able to stop the ball 80% of the shots on goal. if he faces 24 shots on goal, how many goals would likely go in?
I rounded the answer and it is 19
2-you have a bag with 3blue marbles, 4 green marbles and 7 purple marbles. what is the ratio for green marbles to total marbles.
A) green to total
4:14
thanks sorry its late mr h please still let me got to the dance:D

You write this as a fraction by putting the number on the left of the : on top and the right on the bottom. Every time you write a ratio as a fraction, you need to make a new word ratio. This is how it should look if it was a fraction:
Blue 5
------ --
Red 2
You can find a decimal by using the fraction. You can find a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.This is how you can show how to get a decimal:
5/2=2.5 The decimal is 2.5
You can find percent by converting the decimal. Every whole number in the decimal equals 100%. every tenth equals 10%, and every hundredth equals 1%.If the decimal has a number less then one hundredth, you have to round to the nearest hundredth.
2.5 = 200%+50%
2.5=250%

You can find equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing the original numbers in a ratio.

1. One smoothie is made out of 2 strawberries, 1 banana and 4 cups of milk.
If you drank 2 smoothies, how much bananas would you have drank compared to strawberries? Don't simplify your answer.
2.A very successful farm has 12 cows, 5 pigs and 3 chickens.
The owner of the farm is looking to extend the capacity of the farm by 75%. How much cows compared to chickens and pigs should he get? Don't simplify your answer.
3. A box has 10 pencil crayons. 80 percent of them are purple, 5 percent of them are yellow and 15 percent of them are green. How much purple compared to yellow compared to green pencil crayons are in the box? Simplify your answer.
Part 2:
Some mistakes on my test:
For question 17, I said that there was no equivalent scored by to scored against ratio. I thought this because none of the ratios could be simplified to become equivalent. I was wrong because if you divide 10 and 8, you get the same answer as 115 and 92. When you divide equivalent ratios, you get the same answer. I will remember to divide ratios to find out if they are equivalent to other ratios.

50%
Now I'm going to take OTHER to total and make an equivalent ratio.
An equivalent ratio is a ratio written in a lower term or a higher term.
To get a lower term you have to divide the numbers by any same number that will equal a whole number. To get a higher term you have to multiply the numbers by any same number. Example:
lower term 4:12= 2:6 I divided both numbers by 2.
higher term 4:12= 12:36 I multiplied both numbers by 3.
Here are 3 questions you should answer.
write blue to other as a fraction then write it 2 different ways.
write other to total as lowest term
Is greens to reds in the lowest term? Why?
BOB and Laura's Ratio Homework and Test Review
BOB On Ratios by. Bruce 8-16
Today Mr.Harbeck told us to create ratios on the picture we use and comment on them in our comments section.

Pt. 1
Harbeck told us to use...
1)Part to Part-2 term ratio
2)Part to Whole- 2 term ratio
3)Part to Part to Part- 3 term ratio
4)Part, Part, Part to whole-2 term ratio
To create ratios.
1) greens to blues
3 : 3
2) greens to whole
3 : 12
3) gold to greens to blues
1 : 3 : 3
4) greens, blues, orange to total
3 , 3 , 1 : 12
Pt. 2
Harbeck also told us to create questions about the ratios and answer them in the comment box.
1) What type of ratio terms are the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
2) Give an example of an equivalent fraction.
3) Give an example of a simplified fraction.
Don't forget to study for the ratio test on Wednesday. Don't forget to study the numbers Harbeck gave us in the homework book.
___________________________________________________________________
Hey guys,
Harbeck told us to make a scribepost on the test.
1)What were the mistakes you made on your test?
Some of the mistakes I made on the test were Question #18.
The question was...
In a student election Carol gets 60% of the voted. If there were 485 votes cast, how many votes did carol get.
My answer was this.
289/485=(0.595)876288
0.595 x 100=59.5
59.(5)rounded up=60
carol got 289 votes
My mistake was forgetting to use a table ratio.
I will remeber that when you get a percentage question you should use a ratio table.
2)Write 2 questions that gave you difficulty on the test answer them in your comments section.
Question # 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)11 cm b)12.6 cm c)14 cm d)16 cm
Question # 7
A rapid transit train has 39 passengers on it as it starts it's 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.

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.
Well the first mistake I made was that I didn't go over my work after I finished it .
The second mistake I made was that I just guessed on the one for food . ( 12,13,14)
The third mistake I made was that I did number 16 wrong because I put the wrong numbers and I didn't put a word ratio .
