This week’s topic has been Ratios and Proportions.
Let’s go through that blue SAT book everyone has, http://amzn.to/1wADKLS, or http://amzn.to/1wtPZuD, and this ACT book for problems about ratios that can be solved using my TI-84 Plus programs RATIO and PROPORTN. (See these posts for examples: 10/27, 10/28, 10/29, 10/30)
Sorry, I won’t post the actual problems here. But go dig out your books and calculator (buy them here: SAT, ACT , TI-84 Plus) and follow along.
