1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed are money, division, multiplication, ratio tables, and pictures to solve this problem.
2.How did you use these strategies?
I used these strategies to help me find out how much was needed for the snack mix and how much it would cost.
3.Or How could you of used these strategies.
You can use the stragies to help you find out the price and how much is needed.
4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.

To find the price of six cup snack mix i made a ratio table like this :

5.Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.

I also used 3 cups , 1 cup, and 1/2 cup in a ratio table :

Pizza Pizza

For question A i drew 3 circles then divided it by 8 and i drew 3 rectangles and divided it by 4.

For question B i drew 4 circles then divided it by 5 and i drew 4 rectangles and divided it by 5.

For question C i drew 5 circles then divided it by 6 and i drew 4 rectangles and divided it by 6.

For question D i drew 7 circles then divided it by 8 and i drew 7 rectangles and divided it by8.

Thats how i did my Pizza Pizza thingy... :~)

1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed were using money, pictures, ratio tables, and division/multiplication to solve the problems.
2.How did you use these strategies?
I used multiplication to figure out how to get from 2 2/5 to 12, then i found out you times it by 5 to get 12 cups. Then to figure out 1/2 cup i used the division strategy to help me.



3.Or how could you of used these strategies.
I could've just used a ratio table to help me, but i used the multiplication since i thought it was easier and faster to figure out everything. The ratio table is also a good help since you can divide the sections like how much cups, shreddies, peanuts, pretzels, and how much it costs.

I took this picture from dhonell since im not sure where mine is right now,because someone lost mine"carmen" .

How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?

Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.
each person gets 3/4 of pizza
Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.
each person gets 4/5 of pizza
Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.
each person gets 5/6 of pizza
Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon and Midge share 7 pizzas.
each person gets 7/8 of pizza
Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.
for our strategy we drew circles and divided them in equal pieces then we used fractions after to solve how much eacher person got.

Group 1: in group 1 there is 3 pizzas and four people, i drew 3 pizzas and divided each of the pizzas by the number of people. in each pizza 1 person will get 1/4 then for all of of them it would equal 3/4.
Group 2: its the same thing for this one but theres 5 people and 4 pizzas only i did the same thing again drew a circle and divided that circle in 5 each person would get 4/5 from all 4 of those pizzas.Group 3: i multiplied 5 x 6 = 30 then divided it by the number of people "6" = 5/6 for all 5 of the pizza wholes.
Group 4: I multiplied 7 pizzas to 8 the number of people it = 56 pizza pieces all together from those 7 pizzas and then i divided it by 8 since there is 8 people. then it ended up giving 7 the 7 means each person gets 7 pieces from the pizzas.

Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
Group 4 gets the largest portion of the pizza.

What strategies did you use in finding your answer.
The strategies we used were using circles and dividing them into equal pieces so you can divide how much a person gets for each pizza.

Show your answer is 2 different ways. I would recommend that you create a voicethread of your work.
we couldve used money like pretend each whole pizza was a 1$ then just divide that pizza on how many people were there then you get a decimal number then you change it to a fraction.
Then draw a circle to represent a whole pizza, and then divide it on how many people were there then at the end found like how many of them get 1 piece on a pizza so like if there was 3 pizzas and 4 people each person would get 3/4.

fraction test / Question 1
1. What strategies where being used ?
The strategies being used were using a money, pictures, and ratio tables to solve the problems.
2. How did you use these strategies ?
I used these strategies by using money and ratio tables to show how i got the price of each cup and how much ingredients were in each bag. I also used pictures to show how 1 half of 1/2 is 1/4 and so on.
3. Or how could you have used these strategies ?
I did use all of these strategies ? But i could have used it in more of a organized and easy to understand way then i did use before.
4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table .
To find out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix, i drew a picture like so =

1. What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed were ratio tables, clocks and money.

2. How did you use these strategies?
I used a ratio table to find out the cost of the differently sized cups.

3. Or How could you of used these strategies.
I could have used more than one strategy to help me check my work to make sure it was right.

4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix?
I used a ratio table. I went straight from 2 2/5 cups to 12 cups by multiplying 2 2/5 by 5, and I did the same thing with $3.60, which equaled $18.00. I then divided 12 by 2 to get 6 cups, and I did $18.00 divided by 2 to get $9.00.



5. Find 3 other values (amounts of snack mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the money of your new container sizes.






This is what I did to answer the six test questions. I made the correction to the error I made in the last question.. which was forgetting to put the 1 in 1 and 12/15 on question 6. Sorry that the pictures are sideways...=S

1.The strategies that were needed were a ratio table and division/multiplacation.
2. For the ratio table, I put cups on one side and money on the other side. Then multiplied 2 2/5 to get 12. Then found out it was times 5. Then did that to the money. Then divided to get 1/2 cups.
3. Another way to use this strategey is add 2 2/5 instead of multiplying them.
4. To get 6 cups you get 12 cups then divide it in 2. So it will equal 6 cups and do the same thing to the money so it will equal 9 dollars.
5 and 6. The numbers I chose was 1, 5, 10.
To get 1 cup I multipled the money so it will equal for 1 cup.
To get 5 cups I multiplied 1 cup and the money by 5 so it will = 5 cups worth.
To get 10 cups I multiplied 5 cups and the money by 2 to get 10 cups of stuff.
