What I learnt this week

This week in class I have learnt about ratios. Ratios is the comparing of numbers. We learnt two strategies on how to solve each ratio problem we were given. The two strategies were The within strategy and the between strategy. By using these strategies you also use something could the double number line.

One problem that I think I remember doing was when there was a jar of pinto beans and black beans in a ratio of 1:1, and 300 beans pinto beans. How many in total. Answer was 600 beans. ?
