Lester's 2nd Growing Post

1. What strategies were needed?
2. How did you use these strategies?
3. Or How could you of used these strategies.
4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table
5. Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table.
6. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.

1.The strategies that were needed were a ratio table and division/ multiplacation.

2. I used the ratio table to get 2 2/5 cups to get 12 cups. Then divided to get the 1/2 cup. Then did the same to the money.

3. I could have used the ratio table to find out the answers for 1/2 cups too.

4. To get a 6 cups is like this:

I multiplied 2 2/5 cups to get 12 cups.
Then I divided the 12 cups to get 6 cupes.
Then I did the same to the money.













5 and 6.To get new amounts, the amounts I chose were 1 cup, 8 cups, and 10 cups.
To get 1 cup I multiplied 1/2 cup by 2. And did that with the money too.
Then to get 8 cups, I multiplied 1 cup by 8. Then did that with the money as well.
Then to get 10 cups, I got the 8 cups, then I added 1 cup twice to get 10 cups.
Then did that for the money which was like this
$12 + $1.50 + $1.50= $15
