Jorge had to run 2 blocks in 5 minutes but arrived 3 minutes late. He showed his work solving the proportions to calculate how long it should have taken him to run the 2 blocks (1.2 minutes) and what percent 3 is of 5 (60%). In his reflection, Jorge said the hardest part was working with the percent but the easiest part was solving the proportions.

2. Jorge had 5 minutes to get 2 blocks down. He ran but he got there 3 minutes late.
Step 1:What I did was that I
had to put down the number
that go in each place.
3
3*2=5*x
6=5x
X=1.2
/5/5
minutes
blocks
5
2 x
Step 2: I had to put
the number that
doesn’t have a
letter.
Step 3: I had to
multiply 3 and 2
and it comes out to

3. 3 is what percent of 5
Step 1:I had to look at were
was I going to put the ”
what percent”.
3
3*100=x*5
300=5x
X=60
/5/5
x
100 5
Step 2:Then I put x
multiply 5 and 3
multiply 100.
Step 3:Next I had
multiply those
number and after
that I had to divide
5 to 300 and then

4. Unit Reflection
I liked… I like it because you get to put the number
that you want and I knew what I was doing.
I didn’t like… Well there was not one that I didn’t
like.
The hardest part was… The hardest part was when I
had the percent.
The easiest part was… The easiest part was the
proportions.
