B.O.B

(Yes I know this is VVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY late, but I need it for my portfolio! =D)

This unit (percentages) was alright, a little challenging, but good. Most of the work was easy. The hard thing was trying to place the fractions from the fraction lines to X.K.Y charts. >> I absolutely STUNK at doubling and reducing size. I know I did bad last term. xD

I found this unit pretty easy, i think the ratio tables were the easiest for me but i got confused by the xky charts.
I think i should start doing more of my homework to help me understand it a little more.
I also had trouble doubling the area of a shape, and i think doing those warm up things at the beginning helped me.
I think i understood the proportion word problems when i did them.

I think this unit was pretty cool, I learned a lots. The easiest thing for me was the part and total. The hardest thing for me was doing those xky charts. And I found out the white booklet a little tough.I think i did good in this term but i need to improve on doing my homework.

Cumulative Question 6

(6) Jacob has a record of winning 2 boxing matches for every 5 he loses. If he had 49 matches during the last year, how many did he win?

This questioned was changed yesterday in class if no one can remember.

First you must do this:
Favourable Outcome

----------------------- (<-this meaning a fraction line)

Total Possible Outcomes

Out of every 7, Jacob wins 2. So... 2/7

Now we have to find out how many times he's won out of his 49 matches.

7 goes into 49 7 times.




There's your answer.






APRILP - CUMULATIVE QUESTION #1

You have a notebook of 23 sheets of paper; and 3 of them are black. A page falls from your notebook; what is the probability it was a black sheet?

3/23
(3 is the favourable outcome and 23 is the total possible outcome)

3 divided by 23 = 0.13%

The probably it being a black sheet is 13%

Josh's Cumulative Question # 7

Christina practices figure skating an average of15 hours per week.

Kayla practices figure skating an average of 1.5 hours for every hour Christina practices.

How many hours a week does Kayla practice?

Since Christina practices 15 hours a week and Kayla practices 1.5 hours (90 min.) for every hour Christina practices all you should have to do is multiply 90 x 15 = 1350 min. ( 22 hours and 30 min.)

Christina = 60 x 15 = 900 divided by 60 = 15 hours a week

Kayla = 90 x 15 = 1350 divided by 60 = 22 hours and 30 min. a week
