WALT: Identify the relationship between numbers.
 |
This week, Room 4 maths have been learning about Ratio. We realised how often we need to calculate ratio in the real world and that it is particularly important for us to know when we cook. We decided to investigate this in our DMIC problem involving raro.
Question 1 ~ Mrs Stone bought 80g packets of Raro. Each packet creates 5 200ml serving. How many packets should Mrs Stone buy to serve the whole class?
We figured out she needed to buy 7 packets, because 7 x 5 = 35. She would have three servings left over, but you can't buy less than a whole packet!
Question 2 ~ If 80g of Raro makes 5 servings, what is the ratio of raro to water for one serving?
80g : 1000ml
16 : 200ml
16 was the answer we found to solve this problem. The packet said that each serving required 200ml of water. We knew that 200 x 5 is 1000 and that 5 x 16 is 80.
-------
After getting through each problem we got to test out the ratio by making 5 cups of raro. We used all the knowledge that we learnt to make sure everyone had an even amount of the ingredients like water and we knew how much powder to put in each cup.
