Congratulations to all of the students who submitted the solution to last week's problem on time (only 2 students had to work at recess) and especially to those who determined the correct answer.

Using ratios and equivalent fractions, Saturday's orange drink will taste more orange because the ratio of orange flavouring to soda is higher than Friday's ratio.

Here is this week's question.  Make sure to copy the question on a lined piece of paper and solve it using the steps of problem solving.  It is due on Tuesday April 26, 2016 at 8:10 AM.

Tania and Suzy are running equally as fast around the track.  Tania started first.  When she had completed 9 laps, Suzy had completed 3.  When Suzy had completed 15 laps, how many had Tania completed?  Justify your thinking.
