Percents,Decimals and Fractions

I'm having a bake sale and I baked 40 cookies but only 26 where sold.Now how do I show this as a fraction , decimal and percent ?

This is how you make it a fraction :

You can see that you can split 40 and 26 into 2 or divide it by 2 . So you take 40 and 26 and dived it by 2, you do these to both of numbers because what ever you do one number you have to do it with the other number. So if you divide 40 by 2 you get 20 and if you divide 26 by 2 you'll get 13 . So thats your answer 13 over 20 .

This is how you make it a decimal :

This is how you turn13 over 20 in to a decimal number. You have to divide 13 and 20 by 20.You divide it by 20 because the denominator which is 13 always has to equal a decimal number . So if you divide 20 by 20 you get 1 and if you divide 13 into 20 you get 0.65 so thats your answer 0.65 .

This is how you make it into a percent :

This is how you turn it into a percent.You take 13 over 20 and you divide it by 5. You have to divide it by 5 because the bottom number which is 20 has to equal the number 100 because percent means it's out of 100 .So if you divide 20 times 5 you get 100 and if you divide 13 by 5 you get 65 and thats your answer 65 percent.

Area of a Triangle

How to find the area of a triangle?

You find the area of a triangle by base times height divided by two.

b * h / 2

The proper way you write it is:

A = b * h
2

A triangle is always 1/2 of a parallelogram. So the triangle's area is the half of a rectangle's area.
Here is a 3 x 3 grid with a triangle.
First, you figure out what the height is. (THE BASE IS NOT ALWAYS THE BOTTOM!)
You have to find out where is it perpendicular. ( REMEMBER, THE HEIGHT IS ALWAYS PERPENDICULAR TO THE BASE.)Then, measure the height which is 3 cm.. Measure the base which is 3 cm.. Multiply the base and the height which is 9 then divide it by 2. You got the area which is 4.5 cm square.

A= b *h
2

A= 3 *3 / 2

A= 9 / 2

A= 4.5 cm. square



These are ways to know if the triangle belongs to a square-rectangle, rectangle, and parallelograms.

Square/rectangle - One 90 degree angle.Two 45 degree angles.
Parallelograms- No 90 degree or 45 degree angles
THESE ARE THE TRIANGLES!! NOT THE 4 SIDED FIGURES!!

Do you see this colored word? Press it. I LOVE BASEBALL!! ( THIS IS A LINK!!)

This guy is awesome at explaining the area. I watched it and I hope you will too. :)
If I'm forgetting something please leave a comment. Put an honest comment. OK! I'll appreciate it.

Questions 10-12

10) A parallelogram-shaped stripe is going to be painted on the wall of a daycare center. There is enough paint to make a stripe with an area of 9m². How high can the stripe be?

The answer is 6m²
All you have to do is divide 9 by 1.5
9 ÷ 1.5 = 6

11a) With a ruler, measure the base and height of the parallelogram. Explain how you measured.

The parallelogram looks something like this:

First, measure any of the 4 sides and remember that it is your base (b). Then, measure the line perpendicular to it, and that is your height (h). In this case, the base is the vertical left side, and the height is the top horizontal side.

11b) What is the area?

b = 2cm h=1.5cm
2cm × 1.5cm = 3cm²

11c) Use a different side of the parallelogram as the base. Determine the new height and calculate the area.

Use the vertical right side as your base, and use the bottom horizontal side as your height.

b= 2cm h= 1.5cm
2cm × 1.5cm = 3cm²

How does this compare to your answer b)?

They are both the same answers, because the sides of 11b) are equal to the sides of 11c), making the opposing sides parallel (bottom and top horizontal lines parallel, left and right vertical lines parallel).

12) Which of the 2 shapes shown below has a greater area? Explain your answer.


The picture looks like this:















Both of these shapes have an equal area, because their length and base are the same distance apart, and they are both perpendicular.

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.

Brackets- ( )
Exponents- a2
Division- (in order from left to right)
Multiplication-(in order from left to right)
Addition-1+2=3
Subtraction-1-1=0


link to help you with BEDMAS and to show you how it works.


BEDMAS

BEDMAS Is the sequence of operations that must be followed when solving a math sum with several different operations in it.



Brackets=( )

Exponents= a* or ^

Divisions = /

Multiplication=x

Addition=+

Subtraction=-



For eg:


Following the steps of BEDMAS
2x(4+8)/2-1=

1. Bracket..add (4+8)

2x(12/2)-1=
2. divide (12/2)

(2x6)-1
3. multiply(2x6)

12-1=11
4. subtract(12-1)




Here is some to practise:



3x(5+4)/3+3-4=

3x(9/3)+3-4=

(3x3)+3-4=

(9+3)-4=

12-4=8



4+(8/2)-4x2=

4+4-(4x2)=

(4+4)-8=

8-8=0



TIP: Insert a new bracket every time you are doing the next operation in the rule of BEDMAS.

Corrections To The 3 Questions

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 .She claims the answer is 3.85.Do you agree? explain why or why not?

No the answer is 4.7 because :

1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 =

6 ÷ 2 = 3

3 + 1.7 = 4.7

She got 3.85 because she didn't use BEDMAS.She did it this way:

1.7 + 6 = 7.7

7.7 ÷ 2 = 3.85



2.Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible .What problem solving strategy did you use?

3 × 2.8 + 6.4 ÷ 4 =

Well I would put the brackets between 3 × 2.8. I put brackets on all the possible pairs (3 × 2.8, 2.8 + 6.4, and 6.4 ÷ 4) and use BEDMAS to figure out the answer ,and when you put the brackets between 3× 2.8 you will get the largest answer.


3.Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 × 1.6

Emily held a baked sale at her school, her principal bought one of her cookie for $ 2.50.Her math teacher bought one brownie for $1.25 and 5 of her friends came to the bake sale and all 5 of them bought a cupcake for $1.60. At the end of the day Emily had raised $11.75.

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 !

Corrections for number 5


The question i got wrong was 5

The question says: A coordinate grid has the following set of ordered pairs:(-2,-5), (0,-4), (3,0), (4,1) , (5, 2), (6, 3). The point (o,-4) is out of place.

The answer I put down was
False : I got the answer wrong because i didn't look at the coordinate grid with the ordered pairs carefully.


My correction for that problem : I wrote the ordered pairs again on a
coordinate grid and I checked really carefully. (0,-4 ) is the one that is out of place. so the answer is true instead of false, to show how it is true look at the photo on the left .

Here is a image that proves that it is True

Here is a link that can help you learn more about coordinate grids http://www.funbrain.com/co/index.html


Here is also a video you can watch:



Hope you understand !
(props to Charisse for helping me how to add the video
)




Corrections for #8

8. In which quadrant is the point with coordinates (3,8)?
Answer: A (Quadrant I)
If can't tell the quadrants apart, like me, the bottom left quadrant is quadrant III
The top left quadrant is quadrant II
The bottom right quadrant is quadrant IV
And the top right quadrant is quadrant I

Remember that the x-axis always comes first, so you move the point 3 units across the x-axis, and 8 units up.


Sorry I couldn't put up any videos or pictures, but I hope I help you as much as I could!



Corrections for 21 C

Question:a wheel turning


Answer:Rotation


A circle has no vertices and all the sides are even.




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 .
