Scribe Post for April 17, 2009

Sunday, April 19, 2009
Hi guys (: THERE'S ONLY 9 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE MUSIC TRIP ! YAAAAY (: Anyways, I'm doing one of the scribes for April 17. I'm going to show you how to do 6 questions from our assignments, and I'm going to the page where it says "Did You Hear About..."


The first question I'm going to do is letter C because it's the first letter of my name! Haha.
Okay so here's the question:
C. 9/10 + 1/2

- First you have to find the common denominator!



















The Second question I'm doing is letter F.
Here's the question:
F. 7/10 - 1/5

- The second step is to multiply the numerator with what you multiplied its denominator with then subtract or add the numerators together.



















The Third question I'm going to do is letter K

Here it is:
K. 9/16 + 15/16
(This question is really easy!)
- The third step is to reduce the fraction if needed.






















The fourth question I'm doing is letter L.
L. 7/10 - 8/15
(I sort of got confused with the subtraction and adding symbols, it's a subtraction question by the way!)
- Review: The first step you have to do is to find the common denominator between the two (or more) denominators. The next step you have to do is to subtract or add the numerators together. And lastly, you have to reduce the fraction if you need to.






















The fifth question I'm doing is letter M.
Here's the question:
M. (7/8 - 1/4) + 1/2

- This question is different from the others because there are brackets. When you have brackets you have to do what's in the first, then whatever is outside the brackets. Remember B.E.D.M.A.S.




















And for my last question I'm doing letter P.

Here I go:

P. A BigBurger has 1/4 pound of meat. A SuperBurger has 1/3 pound of meat. How much more meat is used for the SuperBurger?
P. 1/3 - 1/4

This question is simple, just use the steps I gave you.


I hope that my scribe wasn't that bad, and didn't have a lot of mistakes. Now I have to finish my other homework... So bye! Oh and before I forget, since there are 2 scribes I'm going to chose who's going to the next scribe at school (: bwuahah. ttfn.

Today in class we worked on the 37 questions for homework. Carrie and I chose to be the scribes because we're leaving in ONE WEEK for the MUSIC TRIP! (: I chose six questions on C-42 with the question that says, "Why did the boy sheep plunge off a cliff while chasing the girl sheep?" I hope you guys like my scribe post, my brother helped me with it, props to him! If any of you have any suggestions for improvement or if I made any errors/mistakes on my scribe post, please let me know. Also feel free to comment (:

The five best ideas will win $20,000 dollars to help make their community a greeener place.

Some ideas would be like making a garden, putting recycling boxes around parks, making our school more green and other stuff! Imagine if what we can do with $20,000 dollars to make our community more GREEN

Scribe Post April 14

So im the scribe. Its not going to be very good just going to show some answers to the questions we did earlier. Now here's the first question.
to explain a little. To get from 5 to 15 is you multiply the first numerator and the second denominator. Also to get from 1 to 9 is you divide the second numerator by the first denominator.
Same thing goes for this question
for this one I just switched the improper fraction to a mixed number also known as a mixed fraction containing one whole number and a fraction.
Well that wasn't much of a scribe but I still have other homework to do and I still might not finish. Oh yeah for next scribe i pick Jayzie good luck.

Scribe Post Number Two: April 24th 2009

Okay so today there is two different scribes. I will be doing the fraction word problems. The first one is the easiest one to do.

So the first part is that the theme of these question are that Betty is planning a birthday party for her little brother.

Here is the question and the work:

Just click it to make it bigger if you find it hard to see. Anyways as I put on the page that if you ruined 3/8 of something you need to use the 1/2 for the ice cream in the tub to fix it, right? So then you would have to add what is left of the cake to what you have of the ice cream that could be used to remake it.


I don't get problem number two. The whole hot dog thing. I couldn't turn it into a equation. Which I think is really dumb but what can I do. So to anyone that does know what to do I hope that you make a comment on this Scribe Post and tell us your theory. We would love to hear it.

Anyways onto the last question. I was a bit confused on this one to but I think I get it and if I don't again the whole comment thing. People like to correct their mistake or at least know what they are, thank you very much.

So as you can see I like to do things the hard way but I did simplified it in the end. This one was kind of hard because of the 3 fractions but I did it the way one of my friends suggested. It looks right to me. Anyways that is all I had to do. I hoped it helped you.
