A proportion is similar to a ratio, except that it indicates a part of a whole, and so the numerator arises from the denominator. For instance, a researcher might say that, for every ten students in the residence hall, five were women. Five over ten (5 / 10) is a proportion. Proportions must have all of the numbers in the same units, and are frequently written as fractions.

What happens when you want to write a proportion, but the numbers are given in different units? Suppose you were asked to write the proportion of 3 cups to 56 ounces (3 cups out of 56 ounces). You must write a proportion of either cups to cups (cups:cups) or ounces to ounces (ounces:ounces), so you will have to convert one of the numbers so that both numbers are expressed in the same unit of measurement. Let's convert cups to ounces so we can express the ratio as ounces:ounces. Since there are 8 ounces in one cup, 3 cups are equal to 24 ounces:

3 cups * 8 ounces/cup = 24 ounces

Now the two numbers 3 cups and 56 ounces can be written as the following ratio:

24 ounces to 56 ounces,

24:56,

or, now that the unit of measurement is the same, 24:56 can also be written as a proportion:

24/56

You may need to solve some problems involving ratios.

If you divided 36 into two parts in the ratio of 1:2 and one part is a and the other is b, you can find the value of a and b:

You know that

a+b = 36

And

a/b = 1/2

You can use these equations to solve for a and b, or you can use the following simple method:

Find out how many units are in 1 part of the ratio. To do this, divide the total by the number of parts.

Number of parts: 1 + 2 = 3.

Number of units in each part: 36/3 = 12.

Then, multiply the number of units in each part by the number of parts in each variable.

a = 1 * 12 = 12

b = 2 * 12 = 24

As an aside . . .

Percentages are so frequently used that we should spend a little time on them here. The powerful thing about percentages is that they all have the same denominator: 100. When two fractions have the same denominator, comparisions can be made very easily.

0.21 = 21% = 21 / 100

QUESTION: How does the Indian reservation have an effect on the right of occupancy

THESE ARE MY NOTES THE ANSWER IS IN IT

Neither the Secretary of the Interior, Congress, or any other branch of government, has the Constitutional power to disregard the Right of Occupancy and this fact is settled government policy. Congress has recognized Original Indian Title in several state enabling acts (or acts of Congress officially creating/recognizing a state) by requiring the incoming state to disclaim all right and title to lands owned or held by any Indian or Indian tribe. From our class discussion on Discovery, what the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo transferred to the United States was the right to purchase/conquer the lands of that territory from tribes (the Federal Government cannot grant what it does not have). Where no land cession has been freely made by a tribe, Original Indian Title remains unaffected. So, the second right of Original Indian Title is to transfer that title to the sovereign possessing the right of Discovery. When the United States would attempt to purchase land of Native Americans, “Indian reservations” were created by removing those lands from the purchase so the tribe would continue to hold Original Indian Title within those boundaries.
Original Indian Title contains two very basic rights, the right to occupy the lands involved and the right to sell those lands to the government who possesses the right of Discovery. Though the United States had the right to conquer Native American lands to claim possession, the fact is that the common approach was to avoid military conflict and to purchase those lands instead.
