Here is an example we did at class:
1) Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 divided by 2. She claims the answer is 3.85.
Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
My Answer: I do not agree because she did not follow b.e.d.m.a.s division comes first before multiplication.
If she did follow b.e.d.m.a.s she would have gotten 4.7.
2) Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible.
What problem solving strategy did you use? 3 x 2.8 + 6.4 divided by 4.
My Answer: ( 3 x 28 ) + 6.4 divided by 4
\/ |
6.4 + 6.4 divided by 4
| \/
8.4 + 1.6
10=
3) Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.
2.5 + 1.5 + 5 x 1.6.
Solution:
Jewel wanted to buy a necklace but it costs 11.75 and she had no money. On the way home from The Necklace Store, Jewel collected 1.50. But she was still short $8. So Jewel told her mother about the necklace and her mother said ill give you 1.60 each chore, so Jewel did 5 chores and she collected exactly 8$! So Jewel now got the necklace she wanted.
