A Day of Fractions

and Proportions

By: Jacob Castaneda

Brushing my teeth

I wake up every morning and brush my teeth.

I have 32 teeth and my toothbrush has 160
bristles so for every tooth there is 5 bristles

Shower

After I brush my
teeth I take a shower
for about 15 minutes
or of an hour.
I like to use twice as
much conditioner as
shampoo or 2:1
There are 10 bottles
in the shower but I
only use 3 of them or
3/10

Driving to work

I live in Diamond Bar and drive to

work in Whittier, it is about 15 miles
away and takes me 35 minutes to
drive there.
15 miles in 35 minutes means I drive
3 miles in 7 minutes

Eating Lunch

For lunch I like to eat

my favorite food,
pizza. I buy a large
pizza so I will have
leftovers. There are 12
slices of pizza in a
large pizza and I eat 5
slices for lunch or 5/12
slices. If each slice was
cut into halves I would
each 10/24 slices

Dinner

For dinner I eat 5

more slices of pizza
or 5/12.
That means I had
10/12 slices of a
pizza for lunch and
dinner or 5/6.
That means there are
2/12 slices left or 1/6
of the pizza left for
tomorrow

Sleep

I go to sleep early
because I like to sleep 8
full hours or 8/24 hours
of a day.
That means I sleep 1/3
of the day
Sometimes I go to sleep
late and only get 6
hours of sleep or 6/24
hours of a day
That is equivalent to
of a day.
