Problem solving based algebra

 

My dad is 7 times older than me, and my sister is twice as old as me. All together, the sum of our age is 120 years. How old is my dad?

 

Step 1:  Find the person with the least/lowest/youngest. Give that person one box

 

Me 

 

Step 2: How many boxes will you give sister and dad?

 

 

 

All together, there are 10 boxes

All together, 120 years

 

How many years in one box? 120/10 = 12 years in one box

 

Dad has 7 boxes, 7 x 12 = 84 years

“Can Money Buy Happiness?”

Written by: Kate lee

Is it possible for money to make someone physically and emotionally happy? Happiness is a tough concept to define. Although some people believe that money can provide happiness, others disagree. Wealth can provide entertainment, but the best things in life are sometimes free.

Even if you had all the money in the world in the palm of your hands, loneliness, depression, stress, and sadness can still occur. Consider Robin Williams, a well-known American actor and comedian. He has amassed a massive fortune and has been noticed for his improvisational skills in a variety of movies and shows. On August 11, 2014, Robin Williams committed suicide due to depression and anxiety issues. Such outbursts are very understandable. Pop artists and comedians alike face a barrage of hatred, misunderstanding, and criticism since they are public figures. This case exemplifies how wealth alone cannot heal a broken soul.

Family and friends have been there for us throughout our whole lives. They've led us down a delightful path. With them, we have created all of our memories. All the scars, laughter, embarrassments, and joys we’ve shared are irreplaceable. Recollection is something that no amount of money can buy. A great deal of income can buy a fantastic experience, whether it's swimming with dolphins off the coast of Western Australia or bungee jumping over a glass bridge. What's important is who you spend that special time with, regardless of what you do or where you go.

In conclusion, happiness and sincerity are two human qualities that are completely free. Helping others, keeping calm, and caring about others boost your happiness. This type of joy cannot be purchased with money. True happiness is priceless.

Find a home for Niks in Elliot Lake

https://www.everythingzoomer.com/featured/sponsored-content/2020/01/14/elliot-lake-ontarios-most-affordable-retirement-community-rents-from-545-month/

May 25, 2022 (p. 151, 111 to 113)

- how do human affects the ecosystem?

- 1) Mining: dig minerals out of the ground and leave a big hole with no trees in the area

- Elliot Lake, Ontario (was a Uranium town in 1950s and 1960s)

- all mines were closed in the 1970s – pollution, awful environment

- in 2022, Elliot Lake advertises itself as a perfect senior retirement centre 

(a house is around $75000, a parking spot in Toronto is more than $100K)

- homework: find a perfect house in Elliot Lake for Nika and her dog

 

2) Farming: the demand for food increases constantly (grains, meat, fruits and vegetables)

- cut down trees to make larger farmland

- top soil starts losing nutrients very quickly (dust bowl)

- best fertilizer: phosphate, potash, nitrite (Russia) – fertilizer price is at all time high -farmers cannot afford them

- farmers add pesticides to their crops (kill insects who eat the crops)

- find the price of 10Kg of horse manure ($14 to $56 per 10Kg)

- find the price of 10Kg of chicken manure ($50 per 10Kg)

- find the price of 1g of Kwok manure (priceless)

 

 

 

1)    Urban development – build a plaza, mall, townhouse complex

- affect water supplies – sewage pipes, water pipes, electric supplies and cables – underground

- trees are removed

- where to put all the waste from construction? (concrete? Lumber, plastic, rubber, metals? – landfills)
