Yes, I believe you should Ryan. As for my question, would the answers 5 or 6 be acceptable for the last question? On the graph the bar is in the middle of 5% and 6%.
hi kate!!!!.....um, to answer your question...go to the table of contents..chapter one-connections to algebra. i think-back to pg.56 i think it just says that to let you know what the problem is about and what it is associatd with...also where ti refer back to if you need help...did that help? :)
Nice job asking and answering each others questions!! That's what will make this blog successful... YOUR participation, not mine!
They are asking for a "discrete" number in problem #58. In other words, if the question is asking about 100 people, the answer can't be 5.73 people, an acceptable estimate is "about" 5 or 6 people. I like the way you are thinking!
Nick, you're right, the Chapter Review extends all the way to #58... and Charmi, good answer, right on target!

"Light work" is ok at this point... as you will find out shortly, I'm not a big fan of "no work"... as we move on through the year the work I will expect to see will get "heavier and heavier."
Right now, you "should be" having a fairly easy time with the work. IF YOU HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT, PLEASE BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND SEE ME RIGHT AWAY. Algebra in 8th grade is STILL a very advanced program. Waiting another year is a PERFECTLY REASONABLE approach to take.
If I wasn't taking Algebra now and was going @ the normal pace would I have Algebra in 8th grade or high school? not that i'm thinking of dropping out or anything.
If you chose not to take Algebra this year, you would transfer back into the 7th grade honors class and then take Algebra in 8th grade. Algebra is normally thought of as a High School subject, so 8th grade is DEFINITELY considered an honors program.
number 52, yeah i understand the problem but i cant seem to get...ya no...the answer. i tried dividing 60/180 and i got 0.333333... and i dont think thats quite right- plz help thanks
One way might be to concern ourselves with the issue of unit of measure (remember the apple "portions"). If the falcon travels 180 miles PER 1 hour, then it will likely take just minutes (or seconds) to reach the sparrow. So we could say that the falcon travels 180 miles per 60 minutes. How long will it take to travel 3 miles? We should be able to set up a proportion (i.e. comparing two ratios with an equal sign). 180 is to 60 as 3 is to ?? Can you set up the proportion and show the math???
This Blog exists for the collective benefit of all algebra students. All questions are welcome. The more specific your question (including your own attempts to answer it) the better.
EVEN MORE WELCOME ARE ANSWERS FROM FELLOW STUDENTS. BLOG ON!
I have found questions that aren't a part of the chapter 1 reveiw. they are 50 52 54 56 58. should we do them?
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe you should Ryan. As for my question, would the answers 5 or 6 be acceptable for the last question? On the graph the bar is in the middle of 5% and 6%.
ReplyDeleteI said that the uneployment rate would be ABOUT 6 Nick.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the #s in parenthesis @ the end of some problems mean? I.E. (1.3)

Blog On,
Mr. C.
On question 28, after turning the equation into a fraction, would you have to further divide it, or just leave it as is?
ReplyDeleteYup, in #28 the "simplified" (fully reduced) fraction is the target answer. Good question!

I don't know i did not (you can see my work lightly on the sides)
