a. Explain how to solve the problem with the aid of a strip diagram.
b. Create a harder problem for your students by changing the ratio, 4 to 3, to a different ratio and by changing the dollar amounts, $14 and $22, to different dollar amounts. Explain how to solve the problem.
c. Create a problem of about the same level of difficulty as the original problem by changing the ratio, 4 to 3, to a different ratio and by changing the dollar amounts, $14 and $22, to different dollar amounts. Explain how to solve the problem.
