In this post, I will be showing you how to do part A, and questions 4 and 5. I will be using a ratio table for both of them. Remember that what you do to one side, you have to do to the other side.

Part A

1) 245% of $356.80

245% of 365.80 is 874.16

2) 68 3/4% of 730

Here we have to convert the fraction into a decimal.

68 3/4% of 730 is 501.875

3) 360% of $129.95

360% of 129.95 is 467.82

Part B

Since these are word problems, you have to have a simple sentence answer at the end.

5) The 4900 seat hockey arena was 63% full. How many people were at the game?

6) The Nile River is about 209% the length of the Yukon River. If the Yukon River is 3168 km, how long is the Nile river to the Nearest km? Show your work.

Well, I hope that helped explain things. Please comment, THANKS!

PART A

oops there was a mistake in the picture. The last part on the left side of the chart is 501.88 not 50.88 (and I think I rounded it because the answer is 501.875)

PART B

2) Table Salt is a chemical compound of sodium and chlorine. recommended daily intake is about 1700 mg. If Canadians consume 182% of this amount on average, how much sodium is one person eating daily? They're eating 3094 mg a day

3)Miguel bought a car for $4700. He made a down payment of 19 1/2%. How much was the down payment? He payed 916.5

Hi everyone,
I am Tiffany, a fourth year university student at the University of Regina. I am studying to be a Math and Science teacher, so when I finish up at university in two years I will be looking for my own classroom to teach Math in. I am excited to check out your blogs and read about what you are learning and also to see how math makes it onto the internet with your help. To be honest, I have never heard of a math blog before, because when I was in Grade 8 there wasn't such a thing. But I think it is a great idea! Well, I think this tells a little bit about me and where I am at in my education. Looking forward to seeing your work! Cheers.

OK, so our group did a project on poverty in the Philippines and Kenya. This movie tell you all about how limited life is for the poor over there. It also tells you how we (in Canada) can help to stop poverty in these countries. Our group worked really hard on this project, so I hope that you enjoy it!
