Todays Math Class

In todays math class we found the are of G C I F

C, D, I, E = 25m

I, F, E = 12.5m squared

A, H, B = 40m squared

B, C, H, G = 70m squared

C, G, F, I, = 52.5m squared

The area of the Rectangle is 200m squared



Percent
30% means 30 out of 100

Percent is a fraction out of 100 or a denominator of 100

____

The Half and Differences between Numbers


The whole numbers that are between 7 and 13 are 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
The difference between 13 and 7 is 6.
13 - 7 = 6
Half of this difference is 3.
6 divided by 2 equals 3.
The number 10 is halfway between 7 and 13.
Like this:

7 + 3 = 10
Or...
13 - 3 = 10

Finding a halfway between numbers.

You can add the given numbers and divide it by two.
Like this..

70 and
170
70 + 170 = 240
And divide it by two. It equals
120.


And:





If you don't get it still, look at these examples we did during class...

1. What are the whole numbers between these given numbers?
68 and 72: The answer would be 69, 70, 71.
108.3 and 111.6: The answer would be 109 and 110

How? If you think of it as the alphabet, like, A B C, you know that
B is in between A and C.
