Let’s start the discussion this week by identifying other ratios we see in our everyday lives.
- Think of an example of a ratio you use in your life or in the workplace.
- List the ratio and explain its meaning in context of the application.
- Create an equivalent fraction of the ratio that you presented and explain why equivalent fractions would be used in this application.
