Probability question
Emily was on a amazing game show called the wheel of chicken. There were 3 kinds of chicken on display. It was her turn to spin the wheel of chicken. Whatever she lands on she had to eat!Amazing!
If she would spin the wheel of chicken twice. What is the probability of the pointer landing on p(BBQ, fried,,and spicy) ?

Order of Operations
Bedmass :

B : Brackets ( )
E : Exponents
D : Division
M : Multiplication
A : Addition
S : Subtraction
Question 1 :
Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6/2 .
She claims the answer to be 3.85.
Do you agree ? Explain why or why not .
Answer :
Annie only got 3.85 because she didn't use BEDMASS.
She got the answer 3.85 this way :
1.7 + 6 = 7.7
7.7/2 = 3.85
The real answer should have been :
1.7+6/2
6/2 = 3
1.7 + 3 = 4.7
Question 2 :
Put the brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible .
What problem solving strategy did you use ?
Answer :
I have put the brackets between in the question like this : ( 3 x 2.8 ) + 6.4/4 =
The answer would be 10 which is the largest value you can get !
I have used BEDMASS to solve this problem .
Question 3 :
Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression :
2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6
Answer :
John is selling pie for her class fundraiser.
One small pie is $ 2.5.
But if you buy 2 pies you can get them for $ 1.25.
And also john has a sign that says :
If you buy 3 pies you get them for $1.6.
Five people came and each got 3 pies each.
If you still need a little More help then her is a link
And her is a link to a video to show you more about BEDMASS
Also her is a picture to show you guys and girls how BEDMASS works :

Corrections for number 22
So to start off this scribe post is i am going to tell you the question which is :
Use the coodinate grid shown to do the following:
A) Rotate squareABC 90' in a counterclockwise direction about the centre of rotation C.
B) Translate squareA'B'C' 3 units right and 3 units down.
C) What are the coodinates of B'' ?
What they are saying is that after you had translated it 3units right and 3 units down , you made you new A''B''C''. Now C) is pretty easy you just look and lable the coodinates !
Here is a picture to show you what i am talking about :

Corrections to question 22
So the start off this scribe post i am going to tell you the question first , which is :
Use the coordinate grid shown to do to following :
A) Rotate squareABC 90' in a counterclockwise direction about centre of rotation C.
B) Translate squareA'B'C' 3 units right and 3 units down.
C) What are the coordinates of B'' ?
What they are saying is after you rotated 90' counterclockwise the coordinates have to be at:
A') ( -5,0)
B') (-2,3)
C') ( -2,0)
and have moved it 3 units right and 3 units down ,you can see A'' , B'' , C'' and they are saying what are the coordinates of B''. You should get the answer really easy on C .
