Solving Proportional Relationships

Good Day to all of you,
We are moving on with Solving Proportions.  Just a quick review of what proportions are..... a proportion is an equation that shows 2 ratios or 2 rates are equivalent.  For example: 6/8 =3/4.  
These are actually 2 proportional fractions as they have no labels, but rates, ratios and fractions act in similar ways. The second part of this lesson is that we can solve these proportions by CROSS PRODUCTS.  We have done some crossing out of the numerator and denominators in previous chapters, and again this is similar.  Take a look at the examples and ask questions in class.  
This is Maddie's grandmothers' puppy Hattie.  She is 6 weeks old and full of joy.  

For Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer.


As Always in MATH,
Mrs M
