__September Summary__

I feel confident about unit one. I understand how to work with Bedmas, order of operations, integers, and exponents. I didn't rewrite my first test, and I don't plan on rewriting my second test.



October 8th assignment:

1. In Alberta: What is the difference between these temperatures. The difference between these temperatures is 104.4 C.
 * The lowest temperature ever recorded was -61.1 C at Fort Vermillion in 1911.
 * The highest temperature was 43.3 C at Bassano Dams in 1931.

Explain on your own page how to work through this question. To work through this question, use rational numbers. Use this equation: 43.3- (-61.1)= 104.4

2. A mistake was made in each solution. Identify the line in which the mistake was made, and give the correct solution.

a) 1/3+4/3 x (-1/2) b) 5/3 x (-1/2) c) __5x(-1)__ 3x2

d) =-5/6

The mistake was made in the second line when they didn't use BEDMAS. They should have multiplied, and then added:

a.) 1/3+4/3 x (-1/2) b.) 1/3+ (-4/6) c.) 2/6+ (-4/6) d.) = -2/6 = -1/3

3. Write a set of rules in your own words that describes how to convert: 4. Print off this puzzle and work through the solutions. [|order of operations puzzle.pdf]
 * decimals to fractions- Write the digits from the decimal over how many places the decimal has. For example, you read 0.25 as zero and twenty five hundreds, so your fraction would be 25/100.
 * fractions to decimals- Divide the numerator by the denominator.
 * fractions to percents- Divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.
 * percents to fractions- Write the digits from the percent over 100.
 * decimals to percents- Multiply by 100.
 * percents to decimals- Write the digits from the percent over 100, and divide the numerator by the denominator.

__Hotwheels Assignment__

I measured the New Jaguar XK-2006 and the Lotus-2008. My measurements for the New Jaguar XK-2006 were 4.672 m x 1.152 m and I got 0.704 m for the diameter of the tire. My measurements for the Lotus-2008 were 4.200000168 m x 1.080000043 m and I got 0.660000026 m for the diameter of the tire. The actual dimensions for the New Jaguar are 4.791 m x 1.322 m. The actual dimensions for the Lotus are 3.7846 m x 1.1176 m. I cannot find the dimensions for the tire on either car.
