Telisa's Graphing, October 30,2009
Sorry for this being so late
These are the definitions for the different types of graphs that we have used...
Legend * Heading, Definition, Explanation *
Bar Graph - Are best for comparing data across categories.
Double Bar Graph - Are best for comparing two sets of data.
Circle Graph - Are best used for comparing categories to the whole using percents ( % )
Line graph - Are best for showing changes in data over time.
Pictograph - are best for comparing data that can easily counted and represented using symbols.
~~~~~~~~~~ Other Definition's
Interval - The spread between the smallest and the largest number in a set of data.
Trend - The general direction that a line graph is going ( ex . Increasing / Decreasing)
Distort - means to change the appearance or twist the meaning of something in a way that is misleading. ( a break in the y axis represented by * ≥ * means that the length of the axis has been shortened)
Please Comment and tell me of any errors
Thank you for reading...

Ratio - 3 : 12
Ratio Notation - three to twelve or Blue to all
Fraction - 3 / 12 or Blue / all
Decimal - 0.25
Percent - 25 %
My three question's are ..
1) If I double the amount of crayons I have then what will the ratio of Blue, Red, Green to all be.
2) What would the percent be of the ratio 7 : 140.
3) What is the decimal answer for 9 : 58.

Bob #2
What Did you get wrong on the Test.. How can you improve...
1) Most of my faults were because i did not convert the ratios to there lowest terms.
The reason why i had trouble with this was because Mr.Harbeck told us to only convert it to lowest terms if the question said to and because of that I did not convert it unless it said to.
2) The only question i had a real problem's with was # 12, 13, and 14.
In a group of 84 students surveyed, the ratio of student preferenceis seven oatmeal eaters to four granola eaters to three toasted O eaters.
12. Of the 84 students, how many prefur oatmeal.
13. Of the 84students, how many prefur granola.
14. what percent ( to one decimal place ) of the group prefurs Toasted O's .
Another Question that gave me trouble was ...
Write each ratio in lowest terms,
8 : 32 ~~~~
10 : 80 ~~~~
5 : 125 ~~~~
18 : 27 ~~~~

Why are 4÷4 + ( 4÷4 ) = 2, is the same as 4/4 = 4/4 =2.
The traditional ÷ sign can also be represented as /.
The / may also be used as a fraction sign instead of the – sign.
when you do this you get the same answer because.
The two dots on a divide sign are representatives of the numbers you are dividing. In a fraction instead of dots the numbers are being show, this is one of the relations between division and fractions.
Jennifer's Rate Growing Post
Ratio - Compares to quantites measured in the same units
Rate - Compares to quantites in different units.
Next I have to find out the difference between ratio and rate.
Well first of all, ratio only compares quantites in the same units. Rate on the other hand compares different units. So pretty much the difference is that, rate compares different units, and ratio compares the same units.
Now I have to choose a question on page 60 and answer that question. So I choose question 6.
6. Gina earns $78.00 for working 6h. Asad makes $192.50 after working 14h. Determine each person's unit rate of pay. Who has a greater hourly rate of pay? So now I know now that I have to find out which person has a greater pay in one hour. So I have to use a ratio table for this.

So Gina makes $13.00 per hour and Asad makes $13.75 per hour. Asad has the greater pay within one hour.
12. The rate at which glaciers melt is increasing globally. The Saskatchewan Glacier near Banff has receded 1.5 km in the last 75 years. The Peyto Glacicer shown below receded 1320 m from 1923 to 1993. Which glacier had the greater annual rate of melting?
So the first thing I need to know is that I have to find out the years for the Peyto Glacier. So i've did 1993 - 1923 equals 70 years. I'll do a ratio to show you what i've did.
And Finally, I have to make up a question using a rate. Which that may be hard.
So my question is.. At Seven-Eleven, there are 3 diffrent sizes of slurpee. The 250ml/small slurpee cost $1.00. The 500ml/medium size slurpee cost $1.50. And The 1000ml/Large size would cost $2.00. Which Slurpee size is the better buy? Show your work!
So this question reminds me of that Salsa question I did in math class! So the first thing I've did was... I have to find out the unit price for each of these Slurpee sizes! So I drew ratio tables!

So now that I've had found out their unit prices, I find out which of them had the lowest unit price. (Which would be the Large one) So The Large Slurpee would be the better buy is because it have the lowest unit price!

So at first I didn't really get it on how you like turn teaspoons into milliliters until I found a site that tells me about it. Or I divide everything by 2.5
2) What would the recipe look like if you had to only serve 1 person? Show your calculations.

Hello!
This is Kim, your student mentor! Hope you all are having a great week!
I'm just wondering, what can I do to help you in this class? Do you have any ideas?
The site you guys have here looks pretty cool. I think math would have been easier for me in grade 8 if I had a cool website like this to keep notes organized. Do you guys like having class like this too?
Do you have any questions for me? I was thinking that I better make an effort to make myself known as me, instead of the crazy person who posts pirate videos.
Speaking of which, here is another one. Tell me what you think.
bob2, ratio, late post, tamika 816
sorry its late. this is the second part to bob, on the test.
I got question 5 wrong:
Eric is able to stop 85% of the shots on goal. If he faces 27 shots on goal, how many goals would likely be scored on him?
a.3 b.4 c.9 d.15
To be honest at the time I had no idea what the answer was or how to get the answer. I guessed what the answer was I guessed c.9.
Later on at class I found out the answer and how to get it:
you just have to make a ratio table:

Another mistake I made was question 16:
You have a bag with one white ball, six red balls, eight green balls, and three purple balls. In lowest terms, what is the ratio of red balls to the whole bag of balls?
I put: 6:18 6÷6, 18÷6 the answer is 1:3. My mistake was that I didn't put a word ratio, the proper way would be:
red:total
1:3
I'll remember to put a word ratio next time.
here are questions I redid:
1-eric is able to stop the ball 80% of the shots on goal. if he faces 24 shots on goal, how many goals would likely go in?
I rounded the answer and it is 19
2-you have a bag with 3blue marbles, 4 green marbles and 7 purple marbles. what is the ratio for green marbles to total marbles.
A) green to total

You write this as a fraction by putting the number on the left of the : on top and the right on the bottom. Every time you write a ratio as a fraction, you need to make a new word ratio. This is how it should look if it was a fraction:
Blue 5

You can find a decimal by using the fraction. You can find a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.This is how you can show how to get a decimal:
5/2=2.5 The decimal is 2.5
You can find percent by converting the decimal. Every whole number in the decimal equals 100%. every tenth equals 10%, and every hundredth equals 1%.If the decimal has a number less then one hundredth, you have to round to the nearest hundredth.
2.5 = 200%+50%

Part 2:
Some mistakes on my test:
For question 17, I said that there was no equivalent scored by to scored against ratio. I thought this because none of the ratios could be simplified to become equivalent. I was wrong because if you divide 10 and 8, you get the same answer as 115 and 92. When you divide equivalent ratios, you get the same answer.

a) One mistake was, I didn't check over my answers.. Cause time was running out when I finished .
b) I didn't read the questions twice that's why I got some answers wrong.
c) I miscalculated a few questions..
How will I remember this for future tests?
I'll double check my answers, read over the questions that were difficult and triple check my calculations.

Now I'm going to take OTHER to total and make an equivalent ratio.
An equivalent ratio is a ratio written in a lower term or a higher term.
To get a lower term you have to divide the numbers by any same number that will equal a whole number. To get a higher term you have to multiply the numbers by any same number. Example:
lower term 4:12= 2:6 I divided both numbers by 2.
higher term 4:12= 12:36 I multiplied both numbers by 3.
Here are 3 questions you should answer.
write blue to other as a fraction then write it 2 different ways.
write other to total as lowest term
Is greens to reds in the lowest term? Why?
