Late Post about Friday's class (1-25-08)

In todays class we went over the Hw from 1/23/08. We found out how to work with fractions and what method to use to solve them.

Example: 4/15 = a/75 this was the starting problem. 4x75 = 15xa Next you have to cross miltiply

300/15 = 15a/15 After you multiply then you divide the.

a = 20 ths is your final result.

We talked about the ratios and what different ways you could have set them up.

Example: For every five wins the basketball team lost one. you could have compared wins to losses 5/1

losses to wins 1/5

or losses to total 1/6.
