a)

If you want to check if the wage you made was right, you can check it by using the formula. You can do it three times to make sure the pattern is right.

W = 5d             W = 5d             W = 5d

W = 5(1)           W = 5(2)           W = 5(3)

W = 5                W = 10             W = 15

b)                                                              c)  

No, it's not reasonable to have points between the graph because the number of dogs has to be a whole number.

Faith's Pay It Forward

Part 1:

Pay it forward is when you help someone out without them asking for it. This starts a chain of people if they decide to pay it forward. Then the people they help will hopefully do the same and it could go on and on. It all starts with one random act of kindness that can make the world join in.

Part 2:

What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?

My act of kindness was donating clothes to value village so others can have the clothes that they need.

Why did you choose this activity?

I chose to donate clothes so that other people who don't have a lot can get some from here. Also when someone donates at Value Village they pay other non-profit partners to fund their programs.

Who did you help?

Hopefully I helped some kids since I donated lots of clothes that are small and can fit some little kids. Some adults can also fit in some clothes that I donated.

What did you do?

I got some clothes that my family and I didn't need anymore and donated them.

When did you do your act of kindness?

I did my act of kindness on Sunday December 2, 2012.

Part 3:

How did your act of kindness go?

My act of kindness went very well and it barely took any time to do it.

What happened?

I went to Value Village and asked for some help since I didn't know where to put my donation. Luckily a guy who worked there helped me with it. He even told us that there were lots of other students who donated, so that was good to hear. It only took a couple of minutes to sort it out but it was fun nonetheless.

How did you feel?

I felt good that I did something that can actually help someone. It definitely made me want to help more often.

How did the person or people react?

He said that he was amazed of how many kids are actually donating to them and how much its helping and how happy he was.

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?

I didn't get to ask him since he was working and he was busy. But I did put a note in the bags explaining what "Pay It Forward" was and how it can help people out if they do something for other people. I'm hoping someone reads it when they go through the bags.

Part 4:

Why is the idea "Pay It Forward" important?

Pay it forward is an important idea since it can help others or even change the world. It doesn't matter if what you did was small because at least you helped and hopefully other people would too. It only takes one step that can help everyone that's struggling in this world.

Has your act of kindness make a difference?

I do think it has made a difference in someones life and maybe they would like to do that to someone else too someday too.

Here's the link for the questions: 

http://ebook.mytextbook.ca/view.php?p=8ac44b15b20f7814f5b5f2effa3f5af4f9d4cf5b&c=5

 First, you make the whole number a fraction. Then find what you have and what you need and put it on a fraction line. Find the reciprocal of the denominator. What you did to the bottom must be done at the top. Multiply them to find the answer. Simplify the answer if you need to. This goes for all of the questions.

11. In a comedy review, each performer has a 1/4-h slot . How many performers are there in a 2-h show?

12. It take 2 1/2 scoops of flour to make one cake. How many cakes do 15 scoops of flour make?

If the question has a mixed number in it, you should make it into an improper fraction. You just multiply the denominator with the whole number, then add the numerator. This makes it easier to get the answer and to do.

13. Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills six glasses. How many glasses will a whole can of apple juice fill?

My Test Corrections

Everything Faith knows about Fractions

Faith's Proportion Post

Part 1:

Ratio- it is a comparison between numbers.

example: 3:5:7, apples: oranges: melons

Rate- compares two quantities measured in different units.

example: $2.00/100g

Proportion- a relationship that says that two rates or two ratios are equal.

Part 2:

1. 5 hours to travel 360 kilometers is about _____km/h.

2. Emma saves 28 cents of every dollar that she earns.  Emma earned $75 last week.  How much money did Emma save last week?

Part 3:

Part 4:

Part 5:

1. Does this seem fair?
Not really.
2.With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.  Does it seem just and fair? 
I don't think its fair he has to stay there for 15 years.

3.Why have you made this choice?

I've made this choice because he did surrender the day after he stole it. He also claimed he was hungry and homeless so it kind of made sense. I also made this choice because the CEO stole more money (3 billion) than he did but they were only sentenced for 3 years. While he only stole $100 and was sentenced in jail for 15 years.

4. What would you have done if you were the judge?

I would've still put him in jail because it is still a crime, but I would only sentence him for 1 year or less because he did surrender voluntarily.

Bonus:

Kid In The Woods

The kid is about 5 feet high and so I measured him to the tree. I measured the kid to the tree and it was about 3 more kids.
5 x 3 = 15
So the tree is about 15 ft. high.
