A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r). If
each pom-pom has a total of 80 strands, how many of strands of each color are needed to make a pair of pom-poms? In this activity, you’ll work through this pom-pom problem step by step. Part A
Write a proportion for the number of strands in each color to find how many strands are needed to make one pom-pom.
white strands: w/80=?/?blue strands:b/80=?/?red strands: r/80=?/?
