Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because the problem use whole numbers and the ratios do not use large numbers. The speed badges are also easy because the multiplication can generally be performed mentally.
 * 1) When you are looking for one from the other, find the common multiplier and use that to find the other number.
 * 2) Often, on Find one from the other only one number is a simple multiple of the other.
 * 3) On Find one from total try adding the numbers of the ratio together, and see what you can multiply that by to get the total. This will give you the "multiple" needed for the ratio.
