Myrh Rynn's Percentage Growing Post

Question 1 What is a good definition of percent? You should use words, symbols, pictures and numerical examples in your definition.

-A percent is an equivalent fraction out of 100.

-Percents can be converted into fractions, decimals or ratios.

-% is the symbol used to represent percents

-to convert a fraction into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator 1/4 is the fraction (1\4=0.25) then you have to multiply the answer by 100 (0.25x100=25%)

Question 2 How are three fifths (3/5), 3:2, 60% and 0.6 all the same?

Question 3 Show 3 different ways to find 35% of 80

Question 4 Find a link to blogs that deal with percentages. Leave a comment behind and add the link with a review (what the post was talking about...yes you have to read the post and why others should read the post) Hint: In the side bar there are links to other schools. Three of them have done work on percentages! I left my comment at https://www2.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33406999&postID=116474431867734886 .It was very easy to understand and it explained a lot about percents. Someone who didn't know anything about percents would know what they were talking about after they read this post.

Question 5 The principal announced that 50% of the children in Ms. Stanzi's class met their reading goal for the month and that 55% of the children in Ms. Lowrey's class met their reading goal for the month. Ms. Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms. Stanzi be correct?
Yes, Ms Stanzi could be correct because the principle did not say how many children were in each class. It would depend on how many students were in each class.

Let's say Ms Stanzi had 40 students and Ms Lowrey had 20.

20 of Ms Stanzi's students met their reading goal. (40/2=20)
11 of Ms Lowrey's students met their reading goal. (20/100=0.2x55=11)

In this case Ms Stanzi would be correct.

Question 6 Use a hundred grid (unit square) to illustrate the following questions. Once you have explained and illustrated what the question means, solve it.

a)16 is 40% of what number?

b)What is 120% of 30?

I have left a comment at http://linden8z.blogspot.com/2006/12/review-of-percent.html, the person who made the post was talking about the three ways you can get a percent. I think others should read the post because it is organized nicley and the person seems to know what they are talking about.

Question #5

The principal announced that 50% of the children in Ms. Stanzi's class met their reading goal for the month and that 55% of the children in Ms Lowrey's class met their reading goal for the month. Ms Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms Stanzi be correct? Why or Why not.

I think that Ms. Stanzi could be correct because it did not say how many students were in Ms. Lowrey's class, and you would need the amount of students are in her class to figure it out.

Question #6

Use a hundred grid (unit square) to illustrate the following questions. Once you have explained and illustrated what the question means solve it.

We wouldn't really know because she didn't exactly say how much people are in her class, but then theres a chance she could be right if there were more kids in her class. If Ms. Stanzi was right that would mean there would be 60 people in her class and only 40 in Ms. Lowrey's class. If you divide 60 from 100 then multiply by 50 it would give you 30. For Ms. Lowrey's class, if you divide 20 from 100 then multiply by it 55 it would give you 11. Therefore Ms. Stanzi is right. If it was the other way around then Ms. Stanzi would be wrong.

Jesse Percentage Growing Post

Question 1)
What is a good definition of Percent?

One is It is a equivalent number out of 100.
Two is It is part of a whole

Three is The symbol of a fraction is %

2.)How are three fifths(3/5), 3:2, 60% all the same?

3/5 , 3:2, 60%, and 0.6 are the same because they are all equivalent

0.6 x 100= 60% that is a picture

3/5 = 0.6 How? divide the Numerator by the denominator

3.) Show 3 different ways to find 35% of 80?

one way is... 35 divided by 100= 0.35

0.8 x 80= 28

The second way is... 80 divided by 100= 0.8

0.8 x 35= 2

4.) Find a link to blogs that deal with percentages. leave a comment behind and add the link with a review.

http://linden8m.blogspot.com/ if u need help on converting, or decimals, percents or ratios that the site to go to.

5.) The principal announced that 50% of the children in Ms. Stanzi's class met their reading goal for the month and that 55% of the children in Ms Lowrey's class met their reading goal for the month. Ms Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms Stanzi be correct? Why or Why not.

Ms. Stanzi's class has 50% of children who seen their ready goal. 50% is half of a 100%.

Ms. Lowrey's class has a 55% of children that have seen their reading goal for the month. 55% is not half of 100%. What i did was i divided 55 by 2 and it equaled to 27.5 but i think Ms. Stanzi's guess was right.

50% out of 100

6.A)Use a hundred grid (unit square) to illustrate the following questions. Once you have explained and illustrated what the question means solve it.

40 divided by 100 = 0.40

4 x 16 = 6.4

6.B) What is 120% of 30?

30 divided by 10 = 33 then i x 12 = 36

P.S) I couldn't get any of the Bubble Share and the Gliffy to work i tried but my computer wouldn't let me upload anything so i couldn't do it on those sites you a signed us with so i did it on here. Sorry

How are three fifths (3/5), 3:2, 60% and 0.6 all the same? Use pictures and words to show your answer.

They are equivalents, meaning they equal the same thing. An equivalent of 3/5 is 60/100. 3:2 is 3/5 except in a different form. o.6 multiplied by 100 equals 60. In the end they all equal 60/100.

Ms Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms Stanzi be correct? Why or Why not.

Miss Stanzi could be correct. her thought would only be right if she had a greater number of students in her class than Miss Lowery's. For instance, if Miss Stanzi had 30 children in her class 15 people would have accomplished the goal. If Miss Lowery had 25 only 13 students would have accomplished it.

I think this is a really good site because it deals with percents, decimals, ratios, and fractions. They also have pictures to help you understand what they are talking about. I think this site could really help you if your confused about something.

Question 5

The principal announced that 50% of the children in Ms. Stanzi's class met their reading goal for the month and that 55% of the children in Ms Lowrey's class met their reading goal for the month. Ms Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms Stanzi be correct? Why or Why not.

Ms. Stanzi could be correct. She could be right if the number of students in her class is greater than the number in Ms. Lowrey's. If Ms. Stanzi has 50 kids in her class then 25 of them {50%} met their reading goal. If Ms. Lowrey has 40 kids in her class then 22 of them {55%} met their reading goal. But if they both have the same number of kids in their class Ms. Stanzi would be wrong.

Question 6

Use a hundred grid (unit square) to illustrate the following questions. Once you have explained and illustrated what the question means solve it.

a) 16 is 40% of what number?

You divide 16 by 40 = 0.4 x 100 = 40

b) What is 120% of 30?

You go 30 divided by 10 = 3 or 10%

3 x 12 = 36 or 120% of 30

aprilp's percentage growing post

[ ! ] I wasn't able to use gliffy on my computer. So I just stuck with using bubbleshare and paint. Hopefully, it's acceptable.

Question 1
What is a good definition of percent? You should use words symbols, pictures and numerical examples in your definition. (suggestion gliffy is an excellent tool for adding detail to your definition.)

Percents can also be converted into a fraction, decimal or into a ratio.

Question 2
How are three fifths (3/5), 3:2, 60% and 0.6 all the same? Use pictures and words to show your answer.

3/5, 3:2, 60% and 0.6 are the same because they are all equivalents.


Question 3
Show 3 different ways to find 35% of 80. (bubbleshare is an excellent tool to animate the many different ways to finding the answer.)

Question 4
Find a link to blogs that deal with percentages. Leave a comment behind and add the link with a review (What the post was talking about....yes you have to read the post and why others should read the post) Hint In the side bar there are links to other schools. Three of them have done work on percentages!

My comment is still not shown. Maybe it'll take awhile.

Question 5
The principal announced that 50% of the children in Ms. Stanzi's class met their reading goal for the month and that 55% of the children in Ms Lowrey's class met their reading goal for the month. Ms Stanzi said that a greater number of her students met their reading goal. Could Ms Stanzi be correct? Why or Why not?

This answer all depends on how many students are in their class.

But let's just say that there are 45 students in Ms. Stanzi's class and 40 students in Ms. Lowery's class.

There may be 55% of Ms. Lowrey's class that met their reading goal but that doesn't mean there are more students in her class.

Question 6
Use a hundred grid (unit square) to illustrate the following question. Once you have explained and illustrated what the means solve it.

a) 16 is 40% of what number?

b) What is 120% of 30?
