You can compare one fruit to the other (bananas to apples) and/or one fruit to whole (bananas to all fruit). You will at these ratios to you excel spread Sheet. You must have at least 8 different ratios listed on you spread sheet.
Step 3.
After completing you spread sheet. You will sellect at least 4 fruit combinations and find the unit rate for one cup of fruit and then apply that combination to 25, 50, and 100 students. You will need to show this combination as a proportion and solve each proportion.Also, you must calculate the unit cost of each cup of fruit. Add this data into you excel spread sheet.
Step 4.
Next, you must calculate the percent of each fruit that you selected per 100 (banas was what percent of you total fruit) This must also be set up as a proportion. Add this information to you exel spread sheet. Each from used in 4 combinations select must be accounted for in you calculations.
After your data collection has been completed you will create a video using IMovie explaning. In this video you will describe the fruit cups you created in ratio form. You will provide you data and explain the cost of each fruit cup as a unit rate. You will also exaplain how you came up with the cost of the each cup as a proportion problem. In addition, you will tell the percent of each fruit. Finally, you will tell what the total cost serving 100 fruit cups and if that determined which fruits you selected.
