Multiplicative Comparison Ratio
Julia is 5 years old and Katherine is 7 years old. So Julia is 5/7th the age of Katherine and Katherine is 7/5ths the age of Julia. I am having trouble totally grasping this because I am comparing it to the Truck problem and in the truck problem they broke the lengths down into 1/2 parts. Can I do the same with this?
Composed Unit
I guess would be when I am baking. So a batch of 35 puffed pancakes (ebelskivers) calls for 2 cups of flour. How many ebelskievers can I make with 1 cup or a half cup of flour?
