Two sisters, Crystal and Alexa, are going to a strange birthday party. Instead of birthday cake, pairs of party guests are each served a large chewy fruit worm to share according to their ages.
Since the sisters are not the same age, they do not share their fruit worm equally.
Crystal is 12 years old and Alexa is 6 years old. Their chewy fruit worm has 18 segments.
According to their ages, Crystal gets 12 segments and Alexa gets 6 segments. The ratio of the
girls' shares of the worm, 12 to 6, is equivalent to the ratio of their ages, 12 to 6.
• According to the rule, how would the girls share a 9-segment chewy fruit worm?
Since Crystal's age is two times Alexa's age, Crystal gets twice as many segments as Alexa.
The ratio of Crystal's segments to Alexa's segments is 12 to 6 or 2 to 1.
. The ratio 2 to 1 is a unit rate. What do the numbers 2 and 1 mean for the sisters?
12 to 6
In this Problem you will explore situations that involve fractions and ratios.

Brittany has designed four different birdcages, each with the same volume: a square pyramid, a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. the zoo wants to use one of brittany’s designs but plans to change the volume of the cage. find the design change that would result in the birdcage with the greatest volume. increase the area of the base of the square pyramid by a factor of ten. increase the height of the cylinder by a factor of ten. increase the radius of the cone by a factor of ten. increase the radius of a sphere by a factor of ten. juan wants to build a greenhouse in his back yard. he needs to maximize the ratio of floor area to structure volume in order to provide the most room for plants while minimizing the area to be heated. find the description of the structure that best meets juan’s criteria. a cube with a side length of 12 feet a cone with a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 10 feet a square pyramid with a base side length of 12 feet and a height of 9 feet a hemisphere with a diameter of 12 feet marion has a bicycle that she is planning to take for a ride. the rim of the rear wheel lies 41 cm from the center of the wheel. the tire itself has a thickness of 3 cm.in order to marion to ride her bicycle 96,712 cm, approximately how many rotations will the rear wheel make? 350 15.9 376 5133 an isosceles trapezoid has perimeter of 42 inches. each of the congruent nonparallel sides is 5 inches long, and the trapezoid is 3 inches tall. how long are the two parallel sides? 10 inches and 16 inches 12 inches and 20 inches 16 inches and 16 inches 10 inches and 22 inches
