i picked slide 2, i think they used equivilent fractions to get how much one can costs.

and for the 2nd way on how they did it, they divided the number of cans and the price to get how much one can costs.

I think this group did an awesome job but they should have used markers to make it more easier to see/read.

Slide 4
I picked slide 4 because they used LCD and divided the number of dollars by the number of cans. They did this to compare how much each can costs.
They did this to show Maria's Pet Emporium had a better deal

i chose slide 2, because they used equivalent fractions to get their answer.

for the second way, they jus divide the number of cans and the price to get how much a can cost.

Maria's Pet Emporium is better than Bob's best buy.

I chose slide 16. I liked how they did it. They used a good strategy. Me an my partner sort of did the same thing.

i chose slide 16 . For their first strategy they divided the price by the number of cans to find out the price for one can. For the second strategy they found the least common multiple, which is 60, and they found out how much 60 cans would cost for each. I understand what they did and i think they used a good strategy. My partner and i also figured out the answer by dividing.

i chose slide 7, i think they tried to find out how much 1 can cost and they compare it.

the second way, they use LCD to find what is the best store to buy cat food

i think this group did a great job.
