Part 1 The Commute!

I get 9 miles a gallon (which is pretty bad) and my gas tank only holds 26.4 gallons. So 26.4 times 8 equals 228.6 miles a week. Usullly that's about a whole week of driving for my family. 2.20 for a gallon of gas, so $2.20 times 26.4 equals $58.08 which doesn't cost too much but at these low prices that's a lot. For a month it would be $232.32 and for a year it would be $2787.84.

Poly-What?

In these links I learned a bunch of new things that made me understand polynomials. I learned that you can't put 3y and 4x together because they are not like terms. You taught me this but I didn't understand why. Also I am a little better with variables so I can work a little bit easier becuase the video showed great examples

Assignment #5

I chose Saving money for school supplies from secondhand stores and westside market vs the grocery store. These relate to me because we could use less money on school supplies and we go to westside market all the time. I found out that you can go to discount clothing stores and buy the same brand that you usually wear. I found out at westside market the cost is way less than the grocery store but maybe with gas it isn't worht it.

Assignment #4

In a week I would drive so many miles its not funny. The average miles I would drive in a work day is 30 miles so 30 miles times 7 equals 210 miles. So I get 9 mpg so 210 divide by 9 equals 23.3 gallons a week. With gas at 2.75, 23.3 times 2.75 equals 64.08 a week. I would definately change to a hybrid.

My First Car

If I could pick my first car I would pick the 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster. This car gets 9 mpg and holds 26.4 gallons. Since gas is around 3.25 so 26.4 times 3.25 is 85.80 to fill my car up.

2nd assignment

Second Assignment- There is a method to my madness! :) Write about why you think I am having you blog in math class - How will it help you? Will it help you? What is the point??? (a 7th grader's favorite question...)

There are many different reasons why I think we are blogging in math class. I think one reason is so we can do projects or reports. It will help me not have to carry stuff around all the time. It will definately help me very much. The point is to use the internet and work independently! -Josh O.

1st assignment

This Blog wasn't very hard but at first I had to learn what to do! Mrs. Domenico is right we use math in our everyday life, but most of us don't know it!

AWESOME!

My Blog is so cool! This blogging stuff is so cool!

This Blog wasn't hard to create at all. In the beginning it was hard but now it is easy.
