Use Proportional reasoning to solve problems.
Definition
 A proportion is an eqution that states that two ratios are equal.
Example
8/12 = x/3
8/12=2/3
x=2

Fast ways to remember a proportion
-One numerator is a variable.
-It need an equal sign.          
Ways to find answer
You can cross multiply by multiplying numerator of one and denominator of the other.  Then do the same with the other ratio but right it the number then the variable such as this:5b.  Then you Inverse, Balance,  Solve, Check.  So at the end you get an equation like:b=25.  Also you can simlify the ratio without the variable.  So 9/27 is simlified to 1/3.

Develope the how to find the area of recangles, squares, triangles, and paralellograms.

 

 

Paralellogram


default                   height=5cm

                                                                                 base= 3cm    

                    bh

                3cm x 5cm=15cm  

Formulas
_________

default recangle= lxw = area

square= s*(lxw)=area *=squared

triangle=1/2(bh)rght_angle_base.gif

paralellogram=bh

The Rose Bowl

The first Rose Bowl was in 1902. Michigan (10-0) defeated Stanford (3-1-2) 49-0.

default default

It was one of the most blown out Rose Bowls ever. In 1922 there was a 0-0 tie between California and Washington & Jefferson. In 1924 there was also a tie but between Washington and Navy at 14-14. There has been 8 games that have been decided by only 1 point. U.S.C. has played Ohio State 7 of their 30 trips to the Rose Bowl. 2 years ago the Rose Bowl was the National Championship and Texas beat U.S.C. 41-3. This year when Michigan tried to repeat the 1948 Rose Bowl (Michigan won 49-0) U.S.C. had other plans and beat Michigan 32-18.

To find the least common multiple, using Prime Factorization.

 

 

Example

    15                         25

    /\                           /\

 5    3                        5 5

 5•3                          5•5

              3•3•5

                 75

 

Lesson

First you write both numbers. Then you prime factoize both of the numbers.  Finally, you find a number that is a multiple of both of the numbers and is greater than or equal to both of the numbers.  In the end you could get the prime factors of the unoriginal number, and it should have some of the same numbers as the original numbers prime factors and that's your answer.

Finding the curcumference of a circle.

Example problem

 If I had A diameter of 6cm. for a circle, then I'd Multiply it by pi to get the curcumference.

3.14 

x6

-----

  18.84 would be the curcumference.

Lesson

To find the curcumference you must multiply the diameter and pi.
