WALT: Apply simple linear proportions, including ordering fractions
A thing that I learnt was how easy it is if you get the teachers help.
Something that was challenging was trying to get it right when you are so close and then you get it wrong and it takes forever to get back up.
I can apply the strategy to problem solving questions
Please complete these two problems. You will need to explain how you got the answer.
Question 1
In our household, there are twice as many cats as humans, with sixty legs in total.
How many cats are there to be fed? 12 cats got feed.
How many cats are there to be fed? 12 cats got feed.
6 People Legs= 12
12 Cats Legs=48
48+12=60
Question 2
Three men run a business together.
The proportion of the profit they each get at the end of the month is based on the proportion of the funds they have invested in the business.
The April profit is shared out so that Al gets one third, Bob gets one half and Chuck gets one sixth.
In May, Des joins the group, investing half as much as Bob invested.
What share of the profit can Des expect to get?
Al= 1/3 2/6
Bob= 1/2 3/6
Chuck= 1/6 1/6
Des= 1/4
