I need to recite this poem in front of the class and i have to add at least three more lines to it. does anyone have any suggestions?
Math is the thick red book,
Sitting there, waiting for you to open it,
Just waiting for your sigh.
Math is working two times harder,
Then any other classes,
Just to get at least a B.
You stress over math,
Hurrying to get your grade up,
And get all the other homework done too.
Math is the hours and hours
Of homework each and every night,
Even though we know its just busy work.
Math stares at you, mocking you
As if it knows you will never understand it.
Math has the teachers, who just don’t care,
They sit there, voices monotone,
Our confused faces reflecting off their glasses.
I'd change all those "you" words to some form of "I" -- and then the "our" in the last line will make sense.
Line 5 should read "Than in any other classes,"
How about the last three lines about grades? Maybe you surprised yourself and got a good quiz or test grade? It would be good to end the poem on a personal positive.
There are 3 red paper clips, 5 yellow paper clips, and 6 silver paper clips in a jar. What is the ratio of the total number of paper clips to the number of red paper clips?
A. 14:3
B. 11:3
C. 3:14
D. 3:11
The total number of paper clips is 3 + 5 + 6 = 14. The ratio of the total number of paper clips to the number of red paper clips is 14:3. Therefore, the answer is A. 14:3.
Which of the following ratios is equivalent to
15
20
A. 200 to 150
B. 3:5
C. 5/4
D. 45 to 60
To find if a ratio is equivalent, we divide both parts by the same number and simplify if possible. In this case, we can divide both 15 and 20 by 5.
15 ÷ 5 = 3
20 ÷ 5 = 4
So the equivalent ratio that simplifies to 15/20 is 3/4.
Comparing to the answer choices, we can see that the correct answer is B. 3:5.
An airplane travels 226 miles in 2 hours. At that rate, how far will the airplane travel in 8 hours?
A. 56.5 miles
B. 904 miles
C. 1,356 miles
D. 1,808 miles
To solve the problem, we can use the formula:
rate = distance ÷ time
We know the rate of the airplane is:
226 miles ÷ 2 hours = 113 miles per hour
To find how far the airplane would travel in 8 hours, we can use the formula in reverse:
distance = rate × time
distance = 113 miles/hour × 8 hours = 904 miles
Therefore, the airplane will travel 904 miles in 8 hours. The answer is B. 904 miles.
22 gallons of gas cost $65.56. What is the unit rate for I gallon of gas?
A. $298 per gallon
B. $3.28 per gallon
C. $3.08 per gallon
D. $2.98 per gallon
To find the unit rate for 1 gallon of gas, we need to divide the total cost by the number of gallons:
unit rate = total cost ÷ number of gallons
unit rate = $65.56 ÷ 22 gallons
unit rate = $2.98 per gallon
Therefore, the unit rate for 1 gallon of gas is $2.98 per gallon. The answer is D. $2.98 per gallon.
If the unit price for watermelon is $0.24 per pound and Jared pays $1.68 for a watermelon, how many pounds does his watermelon weigh?
A. 6 pounds
B. 7 pounds
C. 8 pounds
D. 4 pounds
If the unit price for watermelon is $0.24 per pound, and Jared pays $1.68 for a watermelon, we can find the number of pounds in the watermelon by dividing the total cost by the unit price:
number of pounds = total cost ÷ unit price
number of pounds = $1.68 ÷ $0.24 per pound
number of pounds = 7 pounds
Therefore, Jared's watermelon weighs 7 pounds. The answer is B. 7 pounds.
Solve the proportion y/22 = 3/11.
A. y = 6
B. y = 11
C. y = 15
D. y = 66
To solve the proportion y/22 = 3/11, we can cross-multiply by multiplying both sides by 22:
y/22 = 3/11
11y = 3 × 22
11y = 66
y = 6
Therefore, the solution is y = 6. The answer is A. y = 6.
The length of a dog on a scale drawing is 9 cm. If the scale is 1 cm:6 cm, what is the actual length of the dog?
A. 15 cm
B. 30 cm
C. 54 cm
D. 108 cm
If the length of the dog on the scale drawing is 9 cm and the actual scale is 1 cm:6 cm, we can find the actual length of the dog by multiplying the length on the scale drawing by the scale factor:
actual length = length on scale drawing × scale factor
actual length = 9 cm × 6 cm/cm
actual length = 54 cm
Therefore, the actual length of the dog is 54 cm. The answer is C. 54 cm.
The distance between Mountainview and Crowntop is 6.5 inches on a map. If the scale on the
map is 1 inch = 25 miles, what is the actual distance between the two towns?
A. 31.5 miles
B. 16.25 miles
C. 162.5 miles
D. 165 miles
If 1 inch on the map is equal to 25 miles in real life, then 6.5 inches on the map represents:
6.5 inches × 25 miles/inch = 162.5 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 162.5 miles. The answer is C. 162.5 miles.
Solve the proportion 4.6/6 = W/3
A. w = 2.30
B. w = 9.20
C. w = 1.93
D. w = 2.86
To solve the proportion 4.6/6 = W/3, we can cross-multiply by multiplying both sides by 3:
4.6/6 = W/3
(4.6 × 3)/6 = W
2.3 = W
Therefore, the solution is W = 2.3. The answer is A. w = 2.30.
Which of the following are equivalent to 85%? Choose all that apply.
A. 0.085
B. 0.85
C. 85/100
D. 19/20
We can convert a percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left, or by dividing by 100.
We can convert a percentage to a fraction by putting it over 100 and simplifying if possible.
Using these methods, we get:
85% = 0.85 = 85/100
Therefore, the answers are B. 0.85 and C. 85/100.
Answer choices A. 0.085 and D. 19/20 are not equivalent to 85%.
If 4 out of 20 people like red jelly beans, what percent of the people do not like red jelly beans?
A. 5%
B. 20%
C. 80%
D. 90%
If 4 out of 20 people like red jelly beans, then the remaining 16 people do not like red jelly beans.
To find the percentage of people who do not like red jelly beans, we can divide the number of people who do not like red jelly beans by the total number of people and multiply by 100:
(16 people ÷ 20 people) × 100 = 80%
Therefore, 80% of the people do not like red jelly beans. The answer is C. 80%.
A photocopy was made of Julie's watercolor painting. The photocopy resized the painting so that it measured 4 inches wide by 7 inches long. If the actual painting is 16 inches wide, what is its length?
A. 28 inches
B. 9.14 inches
C. 38 inches
D. 64 inches
We can use ratios to solve the problem.
If the photocopy is 4 inches wide and the actual painting is 16 inches wide, then the ratio of the width of the photocopy to the width of the actual painting is:
4 inches ÷ 16 inches = 1/4
Similarly, if the photocopy is 7 inches long and we want to find the length of the actual painting, the ratio of the length of the photocopy to the length of the actual painting is:
7 inches ÷ L = ?
To solve for L, we can cross-multiply and solve for L:
7 inches ÷ (1/4) = L
L = 28 inches
Therefore, the length of the actual painting is 28 inches. The answer is A. 28 inches.
What is 38% of 150?
A. 5.7
B. 56.5
C. 47
D. 57
To find 38% of 150, we can multiply 150 by 0.38:
38% of 150 = 150 × 0.38
38% of 150 = 57
Therefore, 38% of 150 is 57. The answer is D. 57.
What is the best estimate of 32% of 76?
A. 50
B. 30
C. 25
D. 15
To find the best estimate of 32% of 76, we can round 76 to 80 (which is a multiple of 10) and then find 32% of 80, which is a relatively easy calculation.
32% of 80 = 0.32 × 80 = 25.6
So the best estimate of 32% of 76 is 26.
Therefore, the answer is not one of the given choices. However, the closest choice is C. 25.
If you were to sketch a circle graph for the data about what fraction of the circle would represent comedy?
A. 1/2
B. 1/3
C. 1/4
D. 1/5
There is no data provided, so we cannot determine what fraction of the circle would represent comedy.
Type. |. Votes
————————
Comedy | 45
Adventure | 56
Mystery | 39
To sketch a circle graph, we need to calculate the total number of votes and then the percentage of each category.
Total votes = 45 + 56 + 39 = 140
Comedy: (45/140) × 100% = 32.14%
Adventure: (56/140) × 100% = 40%
Mystery: (39/140) × 100% = 27.86%
To draw the circle graph, we can start by drawing a circle and dividing it into sections that represent the percentages.
The section for comedy would be:
32.14% of 360 degrees = 115.28 degrees
Similarly, the sections for adventure and mystery would be:
40% of 360 degrees = 144 degrees
27.86% of 360 degrees = 100.13 degrees
Therefore, if we were to sketch a circle graph for this data, the fraction of the circle that would represent comedy would be approximately 115.28/360, which can be simplified to 5/16.
So the answer is not one of the given options, but the closest is D. 1/5.
If the original bill is $34.50, what will be the final bill after paying a 15% tip? Round to the nearest cent.
A. $517.50
B. $49.50
C. $39.68
D. $5.18
To find the amount of the tip, we can multiply the original bill by 15%:
tip = 0.15 × $34.50 = $5.175
Rounding this to the nearest cent gives us a tip of $5.18.
The final bill, including the tip, is:
$34.50 + $5.18 = $39.68
Therefore, the final bill after paying a 15% tip is $39.68. The answer is C. $39.68.

A. $2.10
B. $21.00
C. $35.00
D. $46.00
We can find the amount of sales tax owed by multiplying the price of the laptop computer by the tax rate as a decimal:
sales tax = price × tax rate
sales tax = $350 × 0.06
sales tax = $21.00
Therefore, the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer at a 6% tax rate is $21.00. The answer is B. $21.00.
