Another one bites the dust! Today went by in a rush, in the regular classes we went over decimal operations and a few word problems (they are listed below). If they didn't finish them in class (Almost all did not complete them) they need to complete for homework. In the advanced class we started on combining like terms in algebraic expressions. For Homework they have Pg. 30 #s 1-15. We also did some vocab which is listed below.

Regular Classes word problems:

1. Shayna is not confident in her answer to this problem: 36/0.03. She keeps getting 1200 as a result. Is her answer correct? Why or why not?


2. Juan is buying bags of peanuts for a healthy snack for his class of 28 students. He has the choice of buying single bags for $0.35 a piece of a box of 15 bags for $4.80. Which is the better choice: buying 28 bags at $0.35 a piece or buying 2 boxes? Justify your answer by showing your work and writing a data conclusion statement.
