What fraction describes the scratched marbles? (3/4)•Ex: I have 14 plates, but four are covered with grease. What fraction describes the clean plates? (10/14 or 5/7)•You try one.Word Problems•Ratio: The question must describe the comparison between 2 quantities. •Ex: I have 20 socks, and 8 are red. Write a ratio describing the red and not red socks. (8 : 12 or 2 : 3)•Ex: On my homework, I got 6 out of 9 problems correct. Write a ratio comparing the correct and incorrect answers. (6 : 3 or 2 : 1).•You try one.Word Problems•Operator: This question asks how a quantity has changed. If the initial amount has increased, then the operator is greater than one. •Ex: This year, I have 25 students in Math 302A. Next year, I hope to have 20. What fraction of my current class is this? (4/5)•Ex: Last year, 100 students passed Math 302A. This year, I hope 6/5 as many pass. How many students do I hope pass?•You try one.Word Problems•Quotient: Either, the answer to the question is the fraction, or the question describes the dividend (numerator) and divisor (denominator).•Ex of 5/30: If a family of 30 equally shares 5 pizzas, how much pizza should each person eat? (5/30 or 1/6)•Ex of 5/30: If 300 people share 50 pans of brownies, how much should each person eat? (50/300 = 5/30 = 1/6)•You try one.Word Problems•Label each problem as (a) part-whole, (b) ratio, (c) operator, or (d) quotient. If you are not sure, write not sure.•Marci had 15 marbles. But she lost 2/3 of them. How many does she have?•operator•Jeremy comes from a large family: there were 2 boys for every 1 girl. Could he have 12 kids in his family? Could he have 13?•ratioWord Problems•Beatriz walks 3/8 of a mile.•Part of a whole (the mile is the whole).•Kevin planted 16 tomato plants last year. “I’m gonna plant 2 times as many this year.” How many tomato plants will Kevin need?•Operator (the fraction is 2/1)•At the dog park, 8 dogs had outfits on and 16 did not.•RatioWord Problems•Mom made 3 pans of brownies to share equally among 36 kids. How much does each kid get?QuotientDad has $90 to share equally with 12 grandchildren. How much does each grandchild get?QuotientA certain company has 300 workers, and 4/5 of them make minimum wage. How many workers earn minimum wage?Operator (note: if the problem said 300 workers and 40 of them made minimum wage, then it is part of a whole.)Alexa•We will watch Alexa in just a few moments. Look at her work on page 23 for the second problem. What do you think Alexa was doing in each diagram?•Now pick one. Can this picture be used to mean part-whole? Ratio? Operator? Quotient? If yes, say why. If no, say why not.Now, we’ll watch Alexa•Complete parts 1, 2, and part a in your groups. •Now, try part c (skip b for just a moment). Once you found the value for 5, explain it in words so that someone else will understand.Alexa•Now, let’s try part d. Same thing--once you get an answer, try to write it up in words so that someone else will understand.Alexa•Now, let’s talk about how parts b and c are alike, and how they are different.•Do part
