Class,

Here's another math blog post. Find a recipe, either at home or online, and give a ratio of two ingredients. For example: this recipe for cookies calls for 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of brown sugar. The ratio of sugar to brown sugar is 2:3.

After giving the ratio, give the basic unit rate. If my ratio of sugar to brown sugar is 2:3 I could simplify that down to 1 cup of sugar for every 3/2 (also known as one and a half).

Make sure you have these things included.

Your recipe------------EX: Cookies
Ratio------------------ EX: 2 cups sugar to 3 cups brown sugar (2:3)
