Mrs. Sutton? for when Mr. and Mrs. Sutton plan to budget so and so per person for so and so for the trip, does it mean 8, 10, and 28 dollars total per person (You two) on the trip there and back?
ReplyDeleteMU
MU - Yes, you would need to include meal money for us on the drive. However, we also need to eat while we are in NY and we will have Stephen with us for those meals.
ReplyDeleteDo you leave the day you get off school or the weekend to new york?
ReplyDeleteC.W.
CW - I leave Thursday at 4:00 PM.
ReplyDeleteon our preview 3.1 is the * a multiplication symbol?
ReplyDeleteA.G.
AG - yes
Deletemrs. sutton what day of the week do they leave lisle. and do i include dinner that day?
ReplyDeleteS.C
SC - We leave Lisle at 4:00 PM on Thursday. Do you think you should include dinner that day?
DeleteYES?
ReplyDeleteSC
Yes. I would want to eat dinner Thursday night!
DeleteFor POW, will you be home on Monday? Because you are leaveing on Sunday at 4:00 PM so does that mean you are not at NY on all four days? Z.H.
ReplyDeleteZH - Just realized I never answered this one though I hope you are in bed by now! I will not be able to stay in NY all 4 days because of travel time. I need to be ready to be back at work on Tuesday so I will want to arrive home on Monday. That is why we need to leave NY on Sunday.
DeleteOn question 4 about the hotels do you mean for the entire trip total
ReplyDeleteC.W.
CW - Yes, you need to determine how many nights I will need to stay in a hotel. The price I gave you is per night.
DeleteFor POW again, I got an answer that goes into the ten-thousanths place for the total budget. Do you want me to round it or just leave it as it is? Z.H.
ReplyDeleteRounding it is fine. But remember you are dealing with money so does it make sense that it is in the ten-thousands?
DeleteFor POW, AGAIN, is the budget the same thing as the cost? Sorry I'm bugging you with all these questions, it's just that all of the sudden, these questions start popping up in my head. Z.H.
ReplyDeleteZH - Sorry. It is a piano night so I am catching these as I can between lessons. Yes, budget and cost are similar. I think of budget as what I am anticipating spending. I can budget how much I think the trip will cost based on the figures given. That is what I am asking you to do in the POW.
ReplyDeleteDoes that clarify it better?
Why is a full circle 360?
ReplyDeleteAD
AD - I just did a bit of checking and it seems a circle is 360 degrees because the Babylonians used a base 60 number system.

LR -hi i just felt i should tell you before hand on the my skills tutor on the 2nd one i keed on getting lower and lower scores because i suck at algebra can you help me
ReplyDeleteLR
LR - Thanks for telling me. Of course I can help you. I am planning on taking this unit very slowly so we get lots of practice. But if you ever need additional help, we can work together during lunch or before school.
ReplyDeletewhich my skills tutor assignment do we pick?
ReplyDeleteYou should be doing Topic 3 Preview. It consists of 3 small assignments, all under Algebra.
DeleteSkills Tutor is not working. And it's not the internet connection. (I have been able to do previous skill tutor assignments)
ReplyDeleteAD
AD - I just want on to check and it seems to be working now. Let me know if you are not able to get on. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying all day, and when ever I click on an activity, it pops up as a black screen.
DeleteAD
AD - I am sorry you are having difficulty with the program. Let me look at it and get back to you. Is IXL working for you? I can create an alternate IXL assignment, if it is.
DeleteAD - If you continue to have problems with Skills Tutor, please try IXL. You could do 5th grade; Algebra: Lesson Q4 & Q5. Thanks for letting me know. I will post a new blog letting everyone else know what to do if they have problems also.
Deletefor the food problem, when are you leaving to go back home? AG
ReplyDeleteAG - The answer to that question is in the POW. Read carefully all the way through.
ReplyDeletedoes the round trip mean the whole trip? AG
ReplyDeleteAG - Yes.
ReplyDeletewhen it says what is the total budget for the trip to New York does it mean to New York and back?
ReplyDeleteAG - Yes. I must say I am surprised by the number of questions you have. I thought you had already done the POW once. What's different the second time around?
