<tr><td align="left" bgcolor="#CCCCFF" style="line-height: 22px;">To make these chocolate crispies I used:<br /><br /><ul style="display: table; list-style-position: outside; margin: -5px 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="color: #000088; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: disc; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">20 g (grams) of chocolate </li>
<li style="color: #000088; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: disc; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">15 g of cornflakes or similar</li>
</ul>
<br />This made 1 cake. <a href="http://www.mathsisfun.com/recipie.html">Recipe Here</a></td><td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" style="line-height: 22px;" valign="top"><div style="line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
<br /><b>Your mathematics task</b> is to:<br /><br />1) calculate the <b>ratio</b> of chocolate to cornflakes, and then:</div>
<div style="line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
2) work out the amount of ingredients to make 21 cakes.<br /> </div>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
<b>1)</b> We can see that the ratio of chocolate to cornflakes is <b>20:15</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
But this can be simplified further. The <a href="http://www.mathsisfun.com/greatest-common-factor.html" style="background-color: rgba(180, 230, 255, 0.2); border-bottom-left-radius: 12px; border-bottom-right-radius: 12px; border-top-left-radius: 12px; border-top-right-radius: 12px; border: 2px solid rgb(204, 238, 255); padding: 3px;">Greatest Common Factor</a> is 5, so:<br /><br />If we have 20 parts chocolate to 15 parts cornflake, divide each side by 5 and we get <b>4:3</b><br /><br />This is the ratio of chocolate to cornflakes.</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
since i'm in 5th grade, i haven't studied this yet but since i went to MTAP when i was in 4th grade (MTAP is a contest for all the students that are good in math) i had to study this earlier. finding the ratio is pretty easy once you understand it properly. you will enjoy it. try to apply it in your life. for example:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 16px;">
there are 45 students in my class and 25 of them are girls while the other 20 are boys : the ratio is 25:20 but you can still simplify that. since their greatest common factor is 5, the ratio is 5:4 .</div>

geometry is a little bit tricky because there are lots of memorization. But the thing about geometry is that you get to know shapes and identify them. You also learn how to find the area and perimeter of shapes and objects by knowing their formulas. Once you get to understand geometry, you'll eventually enjoy it.</div>

OK, the answer is 6, right? Because <b>6 − 2 = 4</b>. Easy stuff.</div>

Well, in Algebra we don't use blank boxes, we use a <b>letter</b> (usually an x or y, but any letter is fine). So we write:</div>
<table align="center" border="0" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; width: 250px;"><tbody>

It is really that simple. The letter (in this case an x) just means "we don't know this yet", and is often called the <b>unknown</b> or the <b>variable</b>.</div>

for me, since i'm only in 5th grade, and i don't have much of an experience in algebra but since my sister is in 3rd year highschool, i get to read her books and i think that algebra is cool and easy if you enjoy studying it. once you get to enjoy it, it'll be easier for you to understand it.</div>
