Homework for Monday, Oct. 22

Many students were unable to complete homework this weekend?
Most of the reading logs were complete and detailed!

Don't forget to show your interim report to your parents. A letter (tear-off form) will be sent home today.

Math - complete p52 2-6

Equivalent ratios: eg. 3:7 is the same as 6:14 and 9:21
(think of common multiples for each term)

lowest terms: 10:100 (find a common factor eg. 10, divide both by 10)
lowest term is: 1:10

Today's math is comparing ratios:
pg 55 1 & 2

Which is sweeter a juice that has 4 cups of sugar to 5 cups water or one with 7:10 sugar:water

Make sure both have a common multiple (second term)
eg. 4:5 and 7:10
x2 (4x2): (5x2) = 8:10
now compare 8:10 and 7:10

4:5 has more sugar to water so it is sweeter!!
