 • What challenges did you encounter? • How did you find the value

• What challenges did you encounter? • How did you find the value for the third column? • Given the third column and one of the first two, how did you find the missing value? • Is the backpack weight proportional to the hiker’s weight? • Will backpack weight always be proportional to hiker weight? • Describe the process for writing the equation

 • Describe the process for solving using proportions • What must be known

• Describe the process for solving using proportions • What must be known to find a missing value regardless of the method used? • Now that we know the ratio of hiker weight to backpack weight can we find both these parts given only total weight? • Find the hiker weight and backpack weight if the total weight is 120 lbs.
