The thing that I chose to do was inside a car commercial for a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. In this commercial, it talks about how the car gets an estimated 20 miles per gallon in the city. This is quite amazing for a car of this size and also helps the environment a lot. The 20 miles per gallon would be represented by an equation that looks like this, 20/1 or 20:1.

(P.S. I know I told you I would do this during my study hall after our class, but my computer wouldn't work, sorry!)

UNC for example, has more female students than male students, even though it is a school that previously didn't admit women at all. This article was a very good example of a real life ratio: boys to girls in higher education.
