Please read the instructions carefully.  You will receive marks for each part of the assignment.  It is recommended that you complete as many parts as you can to get the best mark.  I am going to assign a BONUS question.

I want you to use one of these pictures and insert it at your post.

Once the picture is in at the post you are going to write your own proportion question and answer it.

 Think of all the picture questions you have been answering in comment form over the last few weeks.

Here are the photos.

See y'all on Monday.  Work hard this weekend.
