Problem-solving with fractions
Terry tried to run across Canada. His weekly budget was $750, and he planned on spending the money on the following
Gas/fuel: ¼ Food: 1/5 Hotel: 1/3 Clothing: The rest
Calculate how much Terry spent on each item. Show your work.
Gas/fuel: $750 x ¼ = (750 x 1)/4 = $187.50
Food: ans, $150, (750 x 1)/3 = $150
Hotel: ans $250, (750 x 1)/3 = $250
Clothing : 162.50, 750 – 187.50 – 150 – 250 = 162.50 (easy way)
1 (whole budget) – ¼ (gas) – 1/5 (food – 1/3 (hotel)
Common denominator for 4, 5, and 3 = 60
¼ = 15/60 (gas), 1/5 = 12/60 (food), 1/3 = 20/60 (hotel)
60/60 – 15/60 – 12/60 – 20/60 = (60-15-12-20)/60 = 13/60 (the rest)
The rest 750 x 13/60 = (750 x 13)/60 = 162.50
Mini Kwok wants to go to Disney’s World and his budget is $1500 for the week

Math: Grade 6 EQAO transformation geometry questions. Do all three questions and show the steps and explanation
For those who want to improve your mark for Underground to Canada essay (how did Julilly and Liza show courage and determination?), use the case inside the Mayflowers to prove your point (Chapter 18). To be sent tonight by 11:59pm
- must return Underground to Canada novel tomorrow
During that time, many slaves tried to escape to Canada to gain their freedom. Many were captured or died during their escape, and a few managed to come to Canada successfully.
Justify why it took courage and determination to fight against all odds to gain their freedom. Use two examples from Underground to Canada to prove your points.
Example 1
Escaping for freedom is something that takes a lot of courage. In the words of Mr.
Ross “It takes courage and determination and a good deal of wit.” (Chapter 9,
Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 59) It is not an
easy journey as the slaves have to walk 2200 km. Not only is it about the walk but it is
about the necessities they need such as food, water and clothes. Without food and
water, the slaves have a higher risk of chronic diseases such as high blood preasure,
heart diseases, and diabetes. They also have a chance of seizures, kidney failure,
shock, coma and can even die.
- no examples from the novel
- student’s own idea (show no comprehension)
- ideas are unclear and vague, not very specific
- 60%
Example 2
Since Julily and Liza have only been treated like animals by white people, they started
perceiving them as cold blooded demons. When escaping, they ran out of food
eventually making them try to buy food off of the people that have treated them terribly
for their whole lives. (Chapter 7, Underground to Canada, Barbara Smucker,
Penguin Group, 1977 pp.99) This was very risky trying to buy food off a white woman
because that was basically exposing their location to any slave hunters in that area.
Julily had the courage to go up to the woman and attempt to buy food. She knew that
Liza and her might have had to end their goal to live in freedom without food. She didn’t
want to give up, giving her the determination that fueled her to go up to buy some food
knowing that she might get caught. I think that that was very brave of Julily to try to buy
food to continue her journey to live in freedom.
- there is a specific example from novel (tried to buy food)
- provide a reason to be determined (risk being captured by the slave hunter)
- explain in own words even it may be repetitive
- 70%
Example 3
During their journey, they heard
weird, creepy and scary voices such as high-pitched animal cries. Apart
from this, they had to travel at night because at daylight, slave hunters
could see them. (Chapter 14, Underground to Canada by Barbara
Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 95, 96). Not just the scary voices but
travelling at night can be very hard. This all shows Julilly and Liza’s
bravery about travelling without knowing what was ahead of them and
the risk of breaking their legs. Taking a very big risk is not an easy
decision to make about escaping and breaking their legs while travelling
in the dark at night. It was very brave of them to do that. This all proved
that Julilly and Liza’s determination, courage and patience earned their freedom
- there is a specific example that they walk at night (dangerous, broken trees, windy)
- walking and escaping at night, risk, but continue with their journey (determination)
- write in own words
- 75%
Example 4
Through the entire novel, the slaves went from getting hunted by bloodhounds, climbing
mountains and doing all this while starving and getting followed everywhere by slave hunters.
This shows how much courage the slaves had to get to Canada. Liza and Julily risking their
lives everyday to follow Massa Ross' escape to Canada showed their determination and how
brave they were. Even though there were hard times during their escape, they put their lives on
the line and pushed through. They were so determined they trusted other people than Ross.
This is why I think like Ross that you need wits, bravery and determination to get to Canada.
- 60%
- unclear, not specific and vague
Example 5
During a time of slavery, numerous slaves had tried to flee, but not all managed to
survive or escape. Before getting to their destination, they would have to travel all the way to
Canada, or how some people call it, the land of freedom.
Climbing high mountain paths are scary, yes, but even more when it’s night and the surroundings are covered with darkness. It was a wild place that was terrifying and strange for both girls, Liza and Julilly ( Chapter 14, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 110 ).
While on their journey, a nervous wind began to blow, swaying trees with the air beginning to
chill. The strong winds made Julilly and Liza hang on to the standing trees surrounding them,
while the wind was lashing their dry and withered skin like old Sims. Though both girls were
terror-struck, they had been able to build a small shelter, with their parched hands bleeding and bruised, they dug and scavenged for fallen tree branches all while the heavy storm was
happening.
To sum up, this example shows that with their courage and determination, they had been able to
overcome the storm and get their freedom later in the story.
Your task: Use the example in Chapter 18, and rewrite an essay, with specific examples, to show that the girls have courage and determination

Examples for Underground essay
During that time, many slaves tried to escape to Canada to gain their freedom. Many were captured or died during their escape, and a few managed to come to Canada successfully.
Justify why it took courage and determination to fight against all odds to gain their freedom. Use two examples from Underground to Canada to prove your points.
In the wise words of Alexander Ross, “It takes a lot of courage and determination and a good deal of wit. . . to escape to Canada.” (Chapter 9, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 59)
Example#1
(Your words and opinion) The distance between the Deep South and Canada is about 2200km, and it takes a long time to travel between both places. It would be much harder to walk through the night across the mountain to stay safe from the slave hunters. (example, write in your own words) During their escape, the bloodhounds sniffed the scent of the slaves and both Lester and Adam were captured. Julilly and Liza were terrified when they heard the cry from the boys and they packed up all the bundles immediately and went north through the bushes. (Chapter 12, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 79). (concluding statement)Even though they were scared and exhausted, both Julilly and Liza were determined to go to Canada and get their freedom no matter how difficult the journey was. This proved their courage and determination earned their freedom in the story.

This is how it should be done
Example# 1
(Your words and opinion) In the past 200 years, when slavery was legal in the United States, black slaves were treated like animals, when they were bought and sold. (example, write in your own words) Early in the story, a young slave mother Lily Brown’s 2-year-old son was snatched from her since Sims thought he was going to grow quickly to work in the cotton field. (Chapter 2, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 11). (Explanation, your own words) No child should be removed from the parents especially when Willie was only 2 years old. Sims simply did not care about others’ feelings and he did the unthinkable by ripping the baby from his mother. (concluding statement) This proved that slavery was inhumane and cruel to the black slaves during that time.

(2) Provide an example from the novel, with the exact reference. Please write in your own words
(3) Explain the example why slavery was a cruel act (your own words)

Example#3: on your own
Concluding statement:
Underground to Canada Essay 1
Essay 1
Slavery is a very cruel act, and should never be allowed anywhere in the world.
Justify this statement by using three examples from the novel, Underground to Canada.
In the wise words of Levin Coffin, “At all times, I obey the commands of the Bible and the dictates of humanity in feeding the hungry and clothing the naked and aiding the oppressed. And the good book mentions no distinction of colour in the doing of these deeds.” (Chapter 16, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 124). At that time, many people, such as the Abolitionists and the Mennonites, helped the slaves to escape to Canada because they knew slavery was unjust and cruel.
In the past 200 years, when slavery was legal in the United
States, black slaves were treated like animals, when they were bought and sold.
Early in the story, a young slave mother Lily Brown’s 2-year-old son was
snatched from her since Sims thought he was going to grow quickly to work in
the cotton field. (Chapter 2, Underground to Canada by Barbara
Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 11). No child should be removed from the
parents especially when Willie was only 2 years old. Sims simply did not care
about other’s feeling and he did the unthinkable by ripping the baby from his
mother. This proved that slavery was inhumane and cruel to the black slaves during
that time.
- check chapter 7 when Julilly was whipped by Sims
Justify why it took courage and determination to fight against all odds to gain their freedom. Use three examples from Underground to Canada to prove your points.
In the wise words of Alexander Ross, “It takes a lot of courage and determination and a good deal of wit. . . to escape to Canada.” (Chapter 9, Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, Penguin Group, 1977, pp. 59)
