- Health letter to be sent out tomorrow. If you want to be exempted from the lessons (about 10 lessons), your parents must sign the letter

- With five blocks, build the cheapest and the most expensive structures. 

- illustrate both structures in the isometric dot paper

- show the detailed calculations (ground = $1000/sq, roof = $750/sq, wall = $500/sq)

PEE essay#3, some ideas and what you have to do tonight

3 adjectives to describe attraction, 3 adjectives to describe region, 3 adjectives to describe scenery/food.

e.g. Kwok's choice: Hell, Grand Caymen Island

https://www.visitcaymanislands.com/en-us/experiences/popular-attractions/hell

- barren landscape, odd and deserted, peculiar

- in Caymen Island, the sandy beaches with the gentle breeze brush my face constantly to cool off the sunburned forehead after an afternoon swim with dolphins and sea turtles

- heaven must look like this with the beautiful sunset under the cloudless, velvet blue skyline to the west of the landscape

- I marvel at the beauty of the spikey landscape as the flamming spicy chicken wings are dipped into the special sauce. All of a sudden, the scorching insanely hot liquid attacks my soul without any warning

- Tropical songbirds chirp softly under the palm trees even in such a highly unusual environment

- Have you wondered what a turtle burger tastes like in the middle of paradise? 

 

Sangster FL class, March 30

 Test on Friday April 1 (Fraction and some financial literacy)

a.     1 – 3/5 – 1/3 = people did not respond

Common denominator between 5 and 3 = 15

 

            3/5 (change denominator to 15) 

            (3x3)/(3x5) = 9/15

            1/3 (change denominator to 15)

            (1x5)/(3x5) = 5/15

 

            1 – 9/15 – 5/15

            15/15  – 9/15 – 5/15

            1/15 did not respond to the survey

 

 

 

b.     1 – 2/9 – ¼

Common denominator between 9 and 4 = 36

 

Change 2/9 with a denominator of 36

(2x4)/(9x4) =8/36

 

Change ¼ with a denominator of 36

(1x9)/(4x9) = 9/36

 

1 – 8/36 – 9/36 

36/36 – 8/36 – 9/36

19/36 of the budget is left

 

c.     1 – 2/7 – 1/5

Common denominator between 7 and 5 = 35

 

Change 2/7 with a denominator of 35

(2x5)/(7x5) = 10/35

 

Change 1/5 with a denominator of 35

(1x7)/(5x7) = 7/35

 

1 – 10/35 – 7/35

35/35 – 10/35 – 7/35

18/35 of the budget is left

 

Please work on (l), (m), (n), (o), (p). All similar

l. Rob has 8 1/5 m of ribbon.  He uses 3 ¾ m to tie a box and 2 2/3 m to make a bow.  How much ribbon is left?

 

m. Jane spends 3/12 of her day reading, 1/5 of the day playing video games, 2/9 of the day watching You Tube and the rest of the time doing house work.  How much time did she send on ding housework? Express your answer in fraction (the day = 1)

 

n. In a pie eating contest, Takeru Kobayashi (Google him) eats ¾ of a pie in the first 30 seconds, 2/3 of another one in 45 seconds and 1 3/5 pie in the next minute.  How many pies did he eat all together?

Problem solving with fractions

a.     2 5/8 + 1 1/8 = 3 + (5/8 + 1/8)

Answer: 3 6/8, reduce to 3 ¾

 

b.     4 ¼ + 2 ¾ = 6 4/4 = 6 + 1 = 7Kg

 

c.     3 2/5 + 1 1/5 = 4 3/5 Km

 

d.     2/3 + ½ = (2 x 2/3) + (3 x ½)

 

= 4/6 + 3/6

= 7/6 = 1 1/6

 

e.     3 3/5 – 1/3 

Common denominator between 3 and 5 = 15

Change these fractions with denominator of 15

3 3/5 = 3 (3x3)/(3x5) = 3 9/15

1/3 = (1x5)/(3x5) = 5/15

 

3 9/15 + 5/15 = 3 4/15Kg

 

f.      4 2/3 – 1 1/5

Common denominator between 3 and 5 = 15

Change these fractions with denominator of 15

 

4 2/3 = 4 (5x2)/(5x3) = 4 10/15

1 1/5 = 1 (1 x3)/(3x5) = 1 3/15

 

4 10/15 – 1 3/15 = 3 7/15 litres left

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

g.     5 ¼  – 3 7/12 

Common denominator between 4 and 12 = 12

Change these fractions with denominator of 12

 

5 ¼ = 5 (1x3)/(3x4) = 5 3/12

5 3/12 – 3 7/12 = 4 15/12 – 3 7/12 = 1 8/12

(the fraction part, 3/12 – 7/12. I need to borrow from

The whole number so that the first fraction is larger

So that I can subtract

5 3/12 = 4 15/12

(1 whole = 12/12)

5 – 1 = 4 (whole number part)

Add 12/12 to 3/12 = 15/12 (so that I can subtract 7/12

 

 

1 8/12 = 1 2/3 Kg left

h. a.     9/10 – 5/6 

Common denominator between 10 and 6 = 30

Change these fractions with denominator of 30

 

9/10 = (9x3)/(3x10) = 27/30

5/6 = (5x5)/(5x6) = 25/30

 

27/30 – 25/30 = 2/30 left = 1/15 left
