CS 1.2: Mixing Juice Comparing Ratios Every year, the Grade 7 students at Langston Hughes School go on an outdoor education camping trip. During the week-long trip everyone pitches in to help with cooking and cleanup. This year, Arvin and Mariah were in charge of making orange juice for the campers. They planned to make the juice by mixing water and frozen orange juice concentrate. To find the mix that would taste best, they decided to test some mixes. Think and Ink: Explain your thinking. Mix A 2 cups concentrate 3 cups water Mix B 5 cups concentrate 9 cups water Mix C 1 cup concentrate 2 cups water Which mix will make juice that is the most orangey? Which mix will make juice that is the least orangey? Mix D 3 cups concentrate 5 cups water Pair and Share: Discuss your ideas with your group. Work with your group to create a poster that includes the following: How did you compare the mixes? Which mix will make juice that is the most orangey? Which mix will make the juice that is the least orange? Be prepared to share your poster in a class gallery walk. After gallery walk: Did you change your answer? Why or why not? Which mix will make juice that is the most orangey? Which mix will make juice that is the least orangey? 2
A. For each recipe, find the information and then compare the mixes: Mix A 2 cups concentrate 3 cups water Mix B 5 cups concentrate 9 cups water Mix C 1 cup concentrate 2 cups water Mix D B. Isabelle and Doug used fractions to express their reasoning. Isabelle: 5/9 of Mix B is concentrate Doug: 5/14 of Mix B is concentrate 3 cups concentrate 5 cups water Do you agree with either of them? Explain. C. Max thinks that Mix A and Mix C are the same. Max says, They are both the most orangey since the difference between the number of cups of water and the number of cups of concentrate is 1. Is Max s thinking correct? Explain. D. Assume that each camper will get ½ cup of juice. Answer the questions below for each recipe: 3
Homework CS 1.2 Zaption: Appley Juice Complete the problems and correct them with the Zaption. A. Compare these four mixes for apple juice. 1. Which mix would make the most appley juice? Explain your reasoning. MIX Concentrate / total W 5 C. out of 13 C. = 5/13 38% 2 X 3 C. 9 C. = 3/9 33% 4 Y 6 C. 15 C. = 6/15 40% 1 Z 3 C. 8 C. = 3/8 37.5% 3 2. Suppose you make a single batch of each mix. What fraction of each batch is concentrate? Mix W 5/13 Mix X 3/9 = 1/3 Mix Y 6/15 = 2/5_ Mix Z 3/8 3. Rewrite your answers to the previous question as percents. Mix W 38% Mix X 33% Mix Y 40% Mix Z 37.5% 4. Suppose you make only 1 cup of Mix W. How much water and how much concentrate do you need? 1 cup of Mix W = 8 cup of Water and 5 cup of Concentrate 4
Homework CS 1.3 Zaption: Time to Concentrate Scaling Ratios In Problem 1.2, you may have used the ratios below to determine which recipe was the most orangey. Below are two ratios describing Mix A: Mix A 2 cups concentrate 3 cups water Mix B 5 cups concentrate 9 cups water Mix C The first ratio is a part -to- part ratio. It compares one part (the water) of the whole (the juice) to the other part (the concentrate). 1 cup concentrate 2 cups water Mix D 3 cups concentrate 5 cups water The second ratio is a part -to- whole ratio. It compares one part (the concentrate) to the _ whole (the juice). Write ratios for the mixes: Scaling ratios was one of the comparison strategies Sam used in Problem 1.2. Practice scaling ratios: How can you use these ratios to compare Mix A and Mix B? 5
CS 1.3: Time to Concentrate Scaling Ratios A. A typical can of orange juice concentrate holds 12 fluid ounces. The standard recipe is: Mix one can of concentrate with three cans of cold water. How large of a pitcher will you need to hold the juice made from a typical can? Show or explain how you arrived at your answer. B. A typical can of lemonade concentrate holds 12 fluid ounces. The standard recipe is: Mix one can of concentrate with 4 ⅓ cans of cold water. How large of a pitcher will you need to hold the lemonade from a typical can? Show or explain how you arrived at your answer. The pitchers hold ½ gallon, 60 ounces, and 1 gallon. Which container should you use for the lemonade from one can? Explain your reasoning. Note: 1 gallon = 128 ounces. 6
C. Solve these mixing problems: 1. Cece is making orange juice using one 16-ounce can of concentrate. She is using the standard ratio of one can of concentrate to three cans of cold water. How large of a pitcher will she need? 2. Olivia has a one-gallon pitcher to fill with orange juice. She uses the standard ratio of one can of concentrate to three cans of cold water. How much concentrate does she need? 3. August has some leftover cans of lemonade concentrate in his freezer. He uses 1 ½ ten-ounce cans of concentrate and the standard ratio of one can of concentrate to 4 ⅓ cans of cold water. How large of a pitcher does he need? D. Otis likes to use equivalent ratios. For Olivia s problem in Question C, he wrote ratios in fraction form: 1 4 = x 128 1. What do the numbers 1, 4, and 128 mean in each ratio? What does x mean in this equation? 2. How can Otis find the correct value of x? (think about what you know about scale factors ) Think of these ratios as equivalent fractions. 7
Homework CS 1.4 Zaption: Keeping Things in Proportion Scaling to Solve Proportions Questions What is a proportion? Notes In Problem 1.3, you used ratios and scaling to solve problems. When you write two equivalent ratios in fraction form and set them equal to each other, you form a proportion. Otis s strategy for solving a problem involving a ratio of orange concentrate to juice was to write this proportion: 1 4 = x 128 What are some other ways Otis might have written the proportion? How can you solve the proportion by scaling up? Suppose that among American doctors men outnumber women by a ratio of 12 to 5. If about 600,000 American doctors are men, how can you figure out how many are women? Otis solved the proportion by scaling up. He wrote: 1 32 4 32 = x 128 There are four ways to write this as a proportion: Does one of the proportions seem easier to solve than the others? Using what you know about equivalent ratios, you can find the number of women doctors from any one of these proportions. Finding the missing value in a proportion is called solving the proportion. How many women doctors are there? 8
CS 1.4: Keeping Things in Proportion Scaling to Solve Proportions For each question, set up a proportion that shows the relationship between known and unknown quantities. Then use equivalent fractions, ratios, and scaling to solve each proportion. A. Imani gives vitamins to her dogs. The recommended dosage is 1 teaspoon per day for adult dogs weighing 10 pounds. She needs to give vitamins to Bruiser, who weighs 80 pounds, and Dust Ball, who weighs 7 pounds. What is the correct dosage for each dog? Proportion: B. Jogging 5 miles burns about 500 calories. How many miles does Tyler need to jog to burn off the 1,200 calorie lunch he ate? Proportion: C. Tyler jogs about 8 miles in 2 hours. How long will it take him to jog 12 miles? Proportion: D. The triangles in this picture are similar. Find the height of the tree. 30 ft. Proportion: 9
E. Solve these proportions for the variable x. Use the reasoning you applied in the earlier problems. F. Nic was working on the proportion at right: 1. He could not see a way to scale 10 to make 6. Instead, he scaled both sides of the proportion. His work is shown at right. How could Nic complete his solution? 2. Kevin thinks Nic s idea is great, but he used 30 as a common denominator. Show what Kevin s version of the proportion would look like. Does Kevin s scaled up proportion give the same answer as Nic s? Explain your reasoning. 10
