In this lesson you will learn to calculate the total when you know the percent and the part by using a double number line.
Let’s Review 60% = 60 percent = 60 for every 100 A percent is a part-to-total ratio where the second number is always 100.
Let’s Review 5 ways to solve a ratio problem 1) Table with addition 2) Table with multiplication 3) Double number lines 4) Tape diagrams 5) Graphing
Thinking that a ratio describes just one situation Example: 1 pink sweater for every 5 sweaters 1 out of 5 is pink. 2 out of 10 are pink. 3 out of 15 are pink.
