A brief summary on how to reply back to this discussion: Examples on how you use Ratios and Proportions in your everyday life?

1.Cooking and Baking

Ratios: Following a recipe when I make pineapple upside down cake for example, the recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to 1 cup of sugar. This is a ratio that ensures the right balance of ingredients.

Proportions: If I want much move cake I would double the recipe, use proportions to adjust the amounts of ingredients needed.

2.Driving and Transportation

Ratios: Calculating gas mileage when I drive to work.

Proportions: Estimating arrival time based on my driving speed and distance from my home and work.

3.Study time

Ratios: I would allocate about 2 hrs of study time for each course I have a day.

Proportions: Seeing I have 5 courses this semester, I set aside a total of about 10 hrs between my days.

4.Budgeting

Ratios: I would save about 40% of my salary each month.

Proportions: When shopping for groceries, I would try to find deals. Buy a 10 lbs. bag of wings instead of 2 lbs. to meal prep.
