Today in class we learned about proportional statement. In each statement you needed 2 equivalent fractions (ratios). You showed how to prove they were equivalent 2 different ways.
Using the information from today's class please figure out the length of just one stride or stride length.
Remember that there are 80 squares in the sidewalk, each square is 145 cm and the total sidewalk is 11600 cm.
You counted your number of steps or strides, you know how long the sidewalk is so.... how far is one stride or your stride length ?
Please leave your answer in the comments below this blog post and in your notebook:)

~What is your Walking Stride Length
My walking stride length is 58 cm. I got this because it took me 200 steps to go from one x to the other. Since we have to find out how long one step is, that is unknown for now. In order for me to answer this, I used the distance between the 2 x's and how many steps I took. So I divided 11 600 by 200 and received an answer of 58cm, so this fills in the unknown number. To make sure, I divided 200 divided by 200 = 1 and 11 600 divided by 200 = 58.
11 600 = 200 steps

My partner and I measured green x to green x and we got 12160cm. We got the answer by measuring one cement using 30 cm ruler. Each cement contains 152 centimeters. After that, we counted how many cements are there between the 2 green Xs. There are 80 cements. Some cements are longer than the others, so we just doudle the cement. We multiplied the number of the cements, wich is 80 to how long the cements are, 152 cm.
So. . 80 x 152 is equal to 12160. And thats how we got the answer. The tools we used are calculator, 3 30cm rulers and our brains.

I measured how many strides it would take me to do 1 block. It took me about 2.3 strides. I then multiplied 2.3 by 80, which is equal to 184 strides. I still don't know what my walking stride is. The sidewalk is equal to 13760cm. To figure out my walking stride divide 13760cm by 184. My 1 stride is 75cm.
1 stride=?
1 block= 2.3 strides
2.3x80= 184 strides
13760÷184=74.7 (75)
1 stride = 75 cm
It took me 200 strides when jogging. Take 13760cm and divide it by 200. You get 69 cm. 1 jogging stride is equal to 69 cm.

I figured out my walking stride and it equaled 64. I found this out by knowing that I took 179 steps from the two x's on each side. Right now, how long my step is, is unknown. I used the distance of the two x's which was 11, 600 and I divided that by my 179 steps. My answer to that which fills the variable is 64. Then, I had to make sure so I divided 179 ÷ 179 =1 and 11, 600 ÷ 179 =64.
11,600 steps = 179 steps
1 step = variable
179 ÷ 179 =1
11,600 ÷ 179 =64cm

Hi Mr. Harbeck :)
It took me 136 steps from one X to the other.
cm/steps
11600cm/136steps=Xcm/1step
I solved the X by cross multiplying 11,600x1 and 136x(X)
11,600=136X
X=85.29cm
I took 168 steps to walk between the two x's, and it it equaled to 11600cm. My first step wasnt known yet. So I took 11600cm and divided it by 168 and got the answer of 69cm. When I double checked I divided 168 by 168 and it equaled to 1. So my walking stride length was 69cm. Here it is on math form.
11600 = 168 steps
1 step = unknown?
÷168
168 1 step
----- = --- = ----
11600 69cm

I found out mt walking stride and its 87. I found out my answer by walking to each of the x's and i got 161 steps. My step is unknown right now. I used the distance between the two x's which is 14080 and then i divided it by how many steps i took which is 161, which equaled to 87(that is my walking stride). To check my answer i divided 161 by 161 and the answer is 1 and then after i did 14080 divided by 161 which is 87.
Here below is in math form.
161 steps= 14080cm
161÷161=1
161÷14080=87
my walking stide= 87.

Answers:
One stride walking: 87.45 cm
One stride jogging: 122.43 cm
One stride running: 156.44
Walking:
It took me 161 steps to walk from X to X. I used a proportion statement to answer this problem.
Information- 61 steps, 14,080 cm (length between the X's), 1 stride.
Word ration: strides (up), cm (down)
1= 161 (divide 161 to 161 and you get 1)
87.45 cm=14,080 cm (divide 14,080 to 161 and you get 87.45)

Jogging:
It took me 115 steps to jog from X to X. Using a proportion statement, this is how I got my answer.
Information- 115 steps, 14,080 cm, 1 stride.
Word ration: strides (up), cm (down)
1= 115 (divide 115 to 115 ans you get 1)
122.43 cm= 14,080 cm (divide 14,080 to 115 and you get 122.43)

Running:It took me 90 steps to walk from X to X. I used a proportion statement to answer this problem.
Information- 90 steps, 14,080 cm (length between the X's), 1 stride.
Word ration: strides (up), cm (down)
1= 90 (divide 90 to 90 and you get 1)
156.44=14,080 cm (divide 14,080 to 90 and you get 87.45)
