1. The Eggs Problem
CCSS6.RP.2, 6.RP.3a, 6.RP.3b, 6.RP.3c, 6.RP.3d

2. Warm Up: Write each number as a percent.
4/5

1/3
8.08
When you are finished…buddy check within your group.

3. There are 6 brown eggs and 4 white eggs in a carton.
TASK: Build ratio tables to answer the following questions.
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE STARTING!! What might your ratio table look like? Discuss in your groups.
What ratio of eggs are brown? What ratio of eggs are white?
What percent are brown? What percent are white?
Write 3 equivalent ratios for brown to white eggs if the ratio stays the same.
If there were 15 eggs, how many brown eggs would there be if the ratio stays the same?

5. There are 6 brown eggs and 4 white eggs in a carton.
TASK: Build ratio tables to answer the following questions.
What ratio of eggs are brown?
What ratio of eggs are white?
What percent are brown?
What percent are white?
If there were 15 eggs, how many brown eggs would there be if the ratio stays the same?

6. Graph your data by plotting the values on the coordinate plane.
If the ratio of brown eggs (x) to white eggs (y) stays the same, create a graph showing your results.
Create equal intervals and scales for both the x and y axis in Quadrant I.
Plot and connect the points on the coordinate plane.
Be sure to label both x and y axis and give it a title.

10. Better buy?
Farmer John is selling a carton containing 12 eggs for $1.29 , and Farmer Jane is selling a carton containing 18 eggs for $ Which is the better buy? (Hint: both are terminating decimals)

11. Kirk’s Chickens. Create a table for the following data and graph by plotting the values on the coordinate plane.
Kirk’s seven chickens lay about 5.5 eggs on average each day. How many eggs do his chickens lay in a week if the average rate remains the constant? How many this month? How many in a year?
Let the number of eggs laid represent the x- axis, and the length of time represent the y- axis. Graph the data from your table on the coordinate plane.

15. Get ready to learn!
You need your Journal open to Kirk’s Chickens Graph, calculator, ruler and pencil. Your tools are not toys. Please do not play with them!!!

16. Today you are collecting apple stamps for your accurate work!
You will be completing 3 different tasks. When your group is finished, show me your work. If it is accurate and detailed (precise), you will earn a stamp and can move to the next problem.
If you finish early, read your
Library book or work on other
work.

17. Kirk’s chickens.
If Kirk sells his eggs in cartons by the dozen and he charges $1.30 per dozen, how much will Kirk make this week? This month (30 days)? This year?

18. Find the percent.
If 5 of Kirk’s 7 chickens lay eggs regularly, what percent of the chickens lay eggs regularly? (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)
Melissa has 6 chickens. Four of her six chickens lay eggs regularly. (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)
Whose chickens lay more eggs regularly? By how much more?

19. Which is the better buy?
Bambow’s Chicken Farm is having a special on chicken scratch. A 20 pound bag of chicken scratch (feed) costs $ and a 50 pound bag costs $ Which is the better buy?
