problem 4)
A company makes 5 blue cars for every 3 white cars. If the company makes 15 white A cars in one day, how many blue cars will it make?
Step 1) The First thing I did was that I counted by 3 five times and got 15.
Step 2)Then I counted backwards by 5 three times and got 5.
Step 3)then I timed 5 withe the five I already had and got my answer 25.
I am doing problem 4 this week. A company makes 5 blue cars for every 3 white cars. If the company makes 15 white cars in one day, how many blue cars will it make?
Step 1 I counted by five and I got 15.
Step 2 I counted the same amount of times that i did with 5 which is 5
Step 3 next i multiplied 5 x 5 which equals 25
I picked #2 for my problem. A certain map uses a scale of 1 inch equals 25 miles. How many miles are represented by 5 inches on this map? There is 3 steps to find the answer to the problem.
Step 1) Look for your most important information in the math problem.
Step 2) Multiply 25 & 5.
Step 3) You get 125.
So the map represents 125 miles.
I also chose problem 4 which states, A company makes 5 blue cars for every 3 white cars. If the company makes 15 white cars in one day, how many blue cars will it make?
Step1) Count by 5 until you get to 15.
Step2) So the Number of times you counted to get to 15 is 3 right. So now multiply 3 & 3 and you’ll get 9.
So they would make 9 blue cars every time they make 15 white cars.
5) The vice president of sales took a client out to lunch. If the lunch was $44.00 and she left a 20% tip, how much money did she spend on lunch?
Step 1) Write a proportion. 20%/100 = N/44
Step 2) Cross Multiply.
Step 3) Divide
So she will leave $8.80 for a tip.
Today in math I learned how to solve this simple problem:
A desert area’s average rainfall is 12 inches a year. This year the area received 15 inches of rain. What percent of the average rainfall amount is 15 inches?
step 1) i multiply 12 and 15 and get 1.25
step 2) i will move the decimal point
step 3) And 125 will be my answer.

Question # 5 states that One Human Year Is To Equal 7 Dog Years. If John’s Dog Is 6.5 Years In Human Years, How Much Is He In Dog Years? Well to do this this problem you first multiply 7 and 6.5 years together. You will get 455. Then you add the decimal to 455 to get 45.5. So John’s dog is 45.5 dog years.
