ashton's porportion post

Task 1 please define these words below
ratio: The relation between two magnitudes with respect to the number of times the first contains the second. E.G. 5 to 2 , mathematically written as 5:2
rate: A certain quantity or payment with reference to some basis of calculation.
proportion: Comparative relation between things or magnitudes as to size, quantity, or number.
task 2 answer these question using proportion statements
5hours to drive 360 km is about 72 mph. Below is my work

As a group worker, if i add the amount of apple juice i am serving at the playgroup 25 ml to 100 ml how much should i increase the orange juice to, keep the quantities in the same proportion? the orange juice is 50 ml to start with. Below is my work.

Task 3 What are three ways that you can prove that these equivalent ratio statement are true 3/4 =12/16 or 4/9 =16/32
Task 4 find a video about using proportion and embed it in your post.please make sure you select the small size. If you want to see my video please scroll down to the bottom of the page !
Task 5 Do you find this fair?
Yes and no, I do find this fair because if he had his hand up his T-shirt and there is evidence he could have got convicted of robbery with a weapon.At the same time I don't find this fair because the ex-mortgage guy took allot and only got 3 years.

This is the video I found for task 4

Task 1: DEFINE

• RATIO- a comparison of quantities that have the same units.

Example: What is the ratio of the 5 gold and 4 blue ornaments?

Answer: 4:5 or four to five

• RATE- a comparison of two quantities measured in different units.

Example: What is the rate of typing 660 words in 10 minutes?

Answer: 66 words/minute

• PROPORTION- an equation which states that two ratios (FRACTIONS) are equal.

Example: What is the proportion of moving 216 students in 4 buses?

Answer: 54 students/bus

Task 2:

• 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about _____ mph.

Answer: 72 miles/hour

• As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at a playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

Answer: 50 ml/200 ml

Task 3:

• What are the three ways you can prove that 3/4 and 12/16 are equal

Answer:

Task 4:

Task 5:

• Does it seem fair?

Answer: I don't think it's not fair at all.

• With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem fair? Why had you made this choice?

Answer: I don't it's not fair at all. Because I personally think that the judge shouldn't allow Paul R. Allen to be in prison for 40 months because he doesn't deserve it, he deserves more years and meanwhile on the other hand, here's a guy name Roy Brown who robbed a bank and steal $100 just because he was hungry and no where to stay. I had made this choice because I put my self in their situation and then think what it's like to live like Roy Brown And Paul R. Allen.

Michael's Proportion Post

1st Task: Define

Proportion: A proportion is a equation that states 2 ratios (fractions) are equal.

Example: 1 pound of dog food cost $2.50. How much would 7 pounds of dog food cost?

7 pounds of dog food would cost $17.50

Ratio: A ratio is used when you compare two quantities together

Example:

The ratio of grey blocks to white blocks

is 3 : 5

Rate: A comparison of two quantities measured in different units.

Example: If a large can of tomato sauce cost $6.00 and had 500ml , a medium one cost $3.50 had 300ml , and a small one costed $2.00 that had 200ml . Which can of tomato sauce is the best deal?

Here you can see that the small can of tomato sauce is the best deal because, 100ml of small tomato sauce cost 1 dollar

85 ml of medium tomato sauce cost 1 dollar

83 ml of large tomato sauce cost 1 dollar

Task 2:

1st: 5 hours to travel 360 miles per hour is about ___mph.

5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph.

2nd: As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup 25 ml too 100 ml, how much should I increase the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with

Task 3:

Task 5 :

We are starting to engage in discussions about social justice. What do you think about this image below. Use the link to copy it into your post. Then answer the questions

http://www.concurringopinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/CrimeInAmerica2.jpg

1. Does this seem fair?

No, this does not seem fair.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair ? Why have you made this choice ?

Any sane person would automatically know this was not fair. I decided this because Allen stole a billion dollars and got approximately 3 years. While a homeless man, by the name of, Roy was sentenced to 15 years in jail, for stealing $100.. which he returned.

3. What would you have done if you were the judge ?

If I were the judge I would have sentenced Allan at least 2x longer than Roy's original sentence. And I would have sentenced, Roy to a maximum of 1 year because he was honest and turned himself in and pleaded guilty.

÷ 5

5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph.

2) As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

apple 25 ml 100 ml

_______ _______ = _________

hours 50 ml 200 ml

The playgroup worker should increase the orange juice quantity to 200ml to keep it in proportion.

Task 5

1. No, this is not fair

x 30 000 000

2. $ 100 $ 3 000 000 000

______ = _______________

15 years 450 000 000 years

x 30 000 000

If the judge used proportional reasoning, then the CEO should get 450 million years in prison to be fair. That's why I don't think this is fair.

3. If I was the judge, I would have switched it around. I would have given the CEO 15 years and the homeless man 3 years.

Marielle's Proportion Post

Task 1:

Ratio - comparison between two different of things.

Rate - A comparison of twoo quantities measured in different units. it can be expressed as a fraction, but cannot be express as a percent. Unit rate is a rate in which the second term is one
        
Proportion - A relationship that says that two ratios or rates are equal.

Task 2:

1. 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72mph. Here's how I did it. . . .

2. As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

Task 3:

3/4 = 12/16

Task 4:






Task 5:

Does this seem fair?

 15 years in prison for stealing 100 dollars is not fair.

With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice?

This is NOT fair because Paul R. Allen stole 3 billion dollars and he only have to stay in prison for 40 months/ 3years. However, a homeless man, Ray Brown only stole 100 dollars and he have to stay in jail for 15 YEARS!! Even though he felt guilty.

What would you have done if you were the judge?

If I were the judge I would give Paul Allen a 15 years contract (or even more than 15 years!) and Roy Brown should only have a year or half in prison.

TASK V

*I was having trouble adding the image from the Sargent Park Math Zone. So here is the LINK to the image*

1.) Do you think this is fair? No, I dont think this is fair.

2.)With what you know about proportion, look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just fair? Why have you made this choice? I don't think that this is fair. I have made this choice because it doesn't make sense for someone(Roy Brown) who robbed the bank for money and now has to spend 15 years in jail, and he only took $100 because he was homeless and hungry. He even realized that what he did was wrong, so he surrendered himself to the police. On the other hand, someone (Paul R. Allen) who was sent to jail for only 3 years for $3 billion scheme that officials called one of the biggest corporate frauds? Its not fair at all.

3.)What would you have done if you were the judge?
If I were the jude, I would make matters fair. I would give (Roy Brown) about 1 year in jail, and (Paul R. Allen) about 15 years in jail. I think that would make it fair depending on how much money they took. The judge in this generation is oviously not fair, why would he give a man who only took $100 because he needed it, 15 years in jail? and why would he give a man who is a fraud for a $3 billion scheme only 3 years?

Nicole's Proportion Post

Task 1

Definition:

Ratio - A ratio is used when you compare two quantities together .

Example :

Make a part-to-part ratio with this diagram :

Part- to- Part Ratio : 3 : 6

3 is for all the white squares and the 6 is for all the black squares.

Rate- A comparison of two quantities measured in different units .

Example :

There are 3 cans of Beefanonni the large one is 1.2 kg or 1200 g and is priced at $ 6.00 , the medium sizes on is 500g and priced at $ 3.00 and the smallest on is 200 g and priced at $ 2.00 . Which can would be the best buy ?

You should buy the largest can because it cost less per gram.

Proportion - A proportion is a equation that states 2 ratios (fractions) are equal .

Example :

1 pineapple costs $ 2.50 How much would 5 pineapples cost ?

5 Pineapples would cost $ 12.50

Task 2

#1 : 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about ____ mph

If you drove for 1 hour you would have traveled 72 miles.

#2 : As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup 25 ml too 100 ml, how much should I increase the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

If you increase the amount of apple juice you are serving to 100ml then you would have to serve 200ml of orange juice to the kids in the playgroup.

Task 3

What are three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true ?

4/9 = 16/32

This ratio statement is not equivalent.

Task 4

Task 5

http://www.concurringopinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/CrimeInAmerica2.jpg

1. Does this seem fair ? In my opinion this is not fair at all.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair ? Why have you made this choice ? Of course it is not fair. Paul R. Allen stole 3 billion dollars and got sentenced to go to jail for only 40 months which is approximately 3 years, like really what is a guy going to with all that money ? And a home-less man named Roy Brown only stole a 100 dollar bill when the banker was giving him like stacks of money that he could have stole too and got sentenced to 15 years in jail when he finally gave him self up to the police because he felt that it wasn't the right thing to do. Ad I find is really outrageous that Roy has to spend 5 times more time in jail then Paul when Roy only stole 100 dollars that he actually needed.

3. What would you have done if you were the judge ? If I were the judge I would have sentence Paul to go to jail for at least for 30 years or so, because of all the money he stole. And I would have sentenced Roy to maybe a few months in jail because he didn't steal that much money when he could have and he did give him self up to the police after realize he did wrong.

TASK FOUR

TASK FIVE

http://www.concurringopinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/CrimeInAmerica2.jpg

1. Does this seem fair ?. In my opinion, I do not it is fair.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair ? Why have you made this choice ?

I think that this does not seem just or fair in any way at all because Paul R. Allen only got a 40 months (3 years) sentence in jail for steeling 3 BILLION dollars, while a homeless man stole $100 bill from a bank and got a 15 years sentence in jail even though he turned himself in, after realizing what he did was wrong but he only did that because he actually needed some money. Paul R. Allen stole way more than half of what Roy Brown stole and he got sentenced to less than half of what the judge sentenced Paul R. Allen, which I find racist and revolting in so many ways.

3. What would you have done if you were the judge ?

I would've put Paul R. Allen to jail for 15 years instead of Roy Brown, maybe even twice as long or more. Because for steeling that much money is just unforgivable and what would he have done with that much money anyway ?! For Roy Brown's time in jail, I would've decided for about 40 months (3 years) or less since he turned himself in and didn't take all the money the teller gave him. In this case, he actually needed the money and not just to spend it on his own pleasure but o he could put a roof under his head.
