    The document discusses solving ratios and proportions, including writing proportions from sentences and solving for unknown values. It then provides a word problem about conducting a class survey, asking the reader to use the survey data to determine ratios of yes to no answers and write and solve proportions to estimate how many students and teachers would answer yes in different populations. The reader is asked to reflect on the accuracy of the estimates.

    5 Ratios and Proportions


    Solve: 1 p = 1. 2 14 2. 14 y = 8 9 3. n 0.3 = 4 1.5

    Write the sentence as a proportion, then solve. 4. 5 is to 12 as x is to 48.

    5. w is to 9 as 7 is to 36.

    Class Survey
    Use the data from our survey to answer the questions below. Fill in the information first. Question: Yes answers: No answers: 1. Our Class: a. Using your data, write a ratio for the yes answers to the number of students in the class, and simplify if possible.

    2. Freshman Class: a. Make a proportion to determine if the ratio was the same, how many students in the freshman class (of 220) would answer yes.

    b. Use words to write the proportion. c. Solve the proportion.

    3. Students in School: a. Make a proportion to determine if the ratio was the same, how many students in the school (of 1000) would answer yes.

    b. Use words to write the proportion. c. Solve the proportion.

    4. Teachers: a. Make a proportion to determine if the ratio was the same, how many teachers in the school (of 60) would answer yes.

    b. Use words to write the proportion. c. Solve the proportion.

    5. Do you think that the number you calculated of freshman, students and teachers who would answer yes to your question is reasonable or accurate? Why or why not?
