Today in math class we worked more with proportions. In our groups, we completed problem 4.3. To solve proportions, all you have to do is make equivalent fractions. For example, to solve the enchiladas problem you would make two fractions, 3/705=240/x. Then all you need to do is find the variable, x. To find it, you figure out what makes the equation true. We did 240/3=80, and then 705x80= 56,400 calories. Then they make equivalent fractions.
