Hmmm…. Could I have a vocabulary quiz in Math class?

YES!!!

I often give short 5 point Quizzes!!! These quizzes will help build your grade! Consider it a free 5 points! You simply need to pay attention!

-5

(-5) (-4) = (-5)[ k ]

-5

(-5) (-4) = (-5)[ k ]

Total cost=$192

Total Package= 16c

Total Package=Total cost

Step #2 Write the equation

16c=192

Step #3 Solve the Equation

C=192/16

C= $12/ cost per child

Chapter 1 Section 4: Solving Two-Step and Multi-Step Equations pg 32Alex belongs to a music club. In this club, students can buy a student discount card for $19.95. This card allows them to buy CDs for $3.95 each. After one year, Alex has spent $63.40.

Find the number of CDs c that Alex bought…

3.95c +19.95 = 63.40

-19.95 -19.95

3.95c=43.45

c= 43.45/3.95

c=11

Alex bought 11 CDs

Simplifying before Solving:6x + 3 – 8x = 13

Step #1: Combine like terms

6x +(-8X) = -2x

-2x +3 = 13

Now, Get rid of what is not attached to x first

-2x +3 = 13

-3 -3

-2x = 10

Step #3 Get x by itself by dividing by -2

-2x/-2 = 10/-2

x= -5

Distributing9= 6 – (x + 2)

Step #1 Distribute the -1 to everything inside the parenthesis

9= 6 +(-1) (x) + (-1) (2)

9= 6 + -x + -2

Step #2 Combine like terms

9 = 4-x

-4 -4

5 = -x

Solving for a VariableStep One: Locate the variable you are asked to solve for in the equation.

Step Two: Identify the operations on this variable and the order in which they are applied.

Step three: Use inverse operations to undo operations and isolate the variable.

1.8 Rates, Ratio’s, and Proportions

Ratio: is a comparison of two quantities by division. The ratio of a to b can be written a:b or a/b

A statement that two ratios are equivalent, such as 1/12=2/24, is called a proportion.

The ratio of faculty members to students at college is 1:15. There are 675 students. How many faculty members are there?

Step 1: Write a ratio comparing faculty to students

Faculty 1

Student 15

Step 2: Write a proportion. Let X be the number of faculty members

1 = x

15 675

Now solve for X

(675)1 = x (675)

15 675

x= 45 faculty members

Cross Product Property:

a = cb da(d)=c(b)Look at previous example..1 = x

15 675

1 (675)=x(15)

675=x15 Now what do we do? Divide both sides

by 15 to get x by itself! X=45

Solving Proportions:

5 = 3

5 = 3

9 w

5w=9 (3)

5w=27

Section 1.10 Precision and AccuracyPrecise vs. Accurate

Precise: is the level of detail in a measurement and is determined by the smallest unit or fraction of a unit that you can reasonably measure.

Accurate: Is the closeness of a measured value to the actual or true value.

** A precise measurement is only useful if the measurement is also accurate**

Think of a target. This person’s throw was precise, but was NOT

accurate, he never hit the bull's-eye!

Which measurement is more precise or accurate?

More precise?

4.33g or 4337 mg answer 4337mg

47 ft or 47.3 ft answer 47.3 ft

A cube weighs 5 grams.

A student weighs this cube on three different scales. Which scale is more accurate?
