Multiplying Fractions Questions

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Today, Mr. Harbeck assigned us 7 questions for multiplying fractions. We had partners, and we had to create a post explaining our answers.

6. One week, Kristi worked 3 days at a department store for 3 1/2 hours each day. She was paid $9/hour.

a) How many hours did Kristi work that week? Show your thinking.
To get the answer, multiply how many days she worked by how many hours she worked each day.

Kristi worked 10 1/2 hours in that week.

b) How much did Kristi earn that week?
Kristi earned $94.50 that week.

7. Jupiter completes about 2 2/5 rotations every 24 hours (an Earth day). How many rotations does Jupiter complete in one week? Show your thinking.

To get the answer, you multiply the number of rotations Jupiter completes every 24 hours by the number of days in a week.

Jupiter completes 16 4/5 rotations in one Earth week.

8. A sailboat is sailing at 8 1/2 km/h. If the weather conditions and the current do not change, how far will the sailboat travel in 1 1/3 h? Show your thinking.


To get the answer, you multiply the amount of speed its going a km per hour by the amount of times to been travelling.

The boat will travel 11 1/3 km in 1 1/3 hours.

9. The distance to Grandma's house is 4/5 of the distance to Uncle Glen's house. If Uncle Glen's house is 3 1/2 hours away, how long will it take to get to Grandma's house if you travel at the same speed?

To get the answer, multiply the distance to Uncle Glen's house to Grandma's by how many hours away Uncle Glen's house is.

It will take 2 hours and 48 minutes to get to Grandma's house.

10. It takes 3/5 of a tank of gas to get to work and back each day. How much gas is used over 5 work days? Show your thinking.

To get the answer, you multiply the the fraction of how many gas is used in one day by how many days it is used for. 

3 tanks of gas are used over 5 work days.

11. Owen is 2 1/4 times as old as Robin. When Robin celebrates his 8th birthday, how old will Owen be?

To get the answer, you have to multiply Robin's age (8/1) by how much older Owen is than Robin (2 1/4).

On Robin's 8th birthday, Owen will be 18 years old.

12. The karate club is arranging a grading for its members. It takes 3 1/4 hours to test a group of 4 candidates. How long will the club need the gym in order to process 3 groups of 4 candidates each?


To get the answer, you have to multiply how many hours it takes to test a group of 4 by how many groups are there in total.

It will take the club 9 hours and 45 minutes to process 3 groups of 4 candidates.

Pythagoream Theorem

Thursday, February 26, 2009

An "uber" smart mathematician. Pythagoras was a philosopher from Greek. They say that he was the greatest genius whoever lived. But they weren't sure if he actually existed because there was no trace of him being alive.

Triangle










Square






Pythagorean Theorem is the sum of the areas of the two
squares on the legs A & B which equals the area of the
square on the hypotenuse C.

definitions:

Pythagoras: The greatest genius ever lived. He is a "uber" smart mathematician, he was a Greek geek. It wasn't for sure that he was really alive or even existed.

Legs: These are connected to create the right angle of the right angle triangle a.k.a sides "A" and "B". They are also smaller than the hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse: The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angle triangle, its the opposite side of the right angle also.


R.A.T: stands for Right Angle Triangle.

Greek : A person thatfrom ancient modern Greece.


Theorem: A theoretical proposition, statement, or formula, something to be proved from other formulas.

i finally know how to doo it <3 "SCORE" (:

1) n-6=14
n-6+6=14 +6
n=20
n-6=14
14=14

2)n+9=-4
n+9-9=-4-9
n=-13
n+9=-4
13+9=-4
-4=-4


3) -9+n=17
-9+9+n=17+9
n=26
-9+n= -17
-9+26= -17
-17=-17


4) 25 = -12+n
-12+12+n=25+12
n=37
-12+n=25
12+37 = 25
25 = 25

5)n -(-6)=15
n+(+6) -6 = 15 -6
n = 9
n+6=15
9+6 = 15
15=15

COOKIES <3

Me and my cousin junelle. I didn't want to take a picture with a stranger soo.. yea
PAYING IT FORWARD.
for paying it forward i went bowling with my cousins and family. I handed out a pamphlet and 2 home made cookies to strangers who worked at the bowling alley. My pamphlet said " Little things can make a BIG difference". I told the people who worked there to pay it forward. They took it the wrong way because i said "pay it forward like asking for money or something", but i told them to keep their money and just give it to a shelter or to poor people, or kids ineed. They said they would. The reason why my cousins, family and I went bowling was because it was mine and my aunties birthday the next day and it was already school so we couldn't celebrate it. After my birthday party with my family was over they gave me money for a present almost 80$. Instead i decided that i didn't really need anything so i put most of the money in a donation jar in the bowling place. I felt really good because some of my money can be a good help to other people. Also in my uncles church we save a lot of money every year helping the kids in the Philippines its called "ga-wad kaling-a" gaaa- waaaad-kaaa-liiing - AH ''. Its for kids my age who dont have enough money to go to school and also babies who are really sick and dont have money to pay for medicine

The Great Big Book of Algebra

Haiku
Adding integers
together they are combined
to make a number

Cinquain
Multiples
sets,groups
multiplying,factoring, producting
repeated addition is fun
product


free verse
quotative division
all you do is find groups in a question
its as easy as multiplication
dividing them into equal groups
doing it is as fun as being with your troops


picturee
In an integer question you never subtract
That's one thing I can say is a true fact

free verse
Partitive is just sharing with a group,
like giving a group of people a card each
But it all has to be equal. If it doesn't
end up to work, then you use
multiplicative inverse.

Haiku
Multiplication
brackets kiss they multiply
so don't start kissing.




CHAPTER 2 Combining like terms and distributive property

Swiper : Heey Boots!!, you want to learn about algebra

Boots: Sure

Swiper: wait.... do you even know what algebra is?

Boots: kind of, but im here to learn

Swiper: do you know n+3-5n+12. If you need my help all you do is ask.

Boots: Is it... -6n+15, I think thats the answer? is it?

Swiper: No thats wrong but nice try. Circle the variable then combine like terms so its easier.
Now simplify the question. Also n just means the number 1. sometimes you have to do it step by step. Soo.... What's n-5n?

Boots: is it -4?

Swiper: yes thats correct. How about 3 +12?

Boots: Thats easy ... 15

Swiper: put them together and you get??

Boots: -4n+15. Oh i get it thaanks a lot

Swiper: Do you think you can answer this question? 2+4(3n+8)

boots: First of all i knew the rule of multiplying intergers so i multiplied the 4 with 3 n's since there was a bracket. Thats how i got 12n+10 but i didn't know what to do with the other 2 numbers so i added them together

Swiper: the answer isn't 12n+10 its 12n+34 because you multiply 4 and 3n and you multiply 4 and 8 together then you just add 2 to 32 so it would be 12n+34

Boots: Thank you very much I learned many things. Ill see you later byee.

Swiper : No problem anytime. And keep in touch.

kimmy's measures of central tendency

mean (:



arrange the data in ascending order




the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are in the data


number of data




with an outlier the mean is less accurate " average"


median




arrange the data in ascending order



the middle number in the set of data



if there are 2 middle numbers you find the mean of them


great to use if there is an outlier

mode



arrange the data in ascending order



the most frequently used number in the data



you can have more then 1 mode and no mode


Range




arrange the data in ascending order



subtract the smallest data from the largest data



large range = outlier
