POTW #10

Math POTW #9

The water content of an apricot, by weight, is 80%. Therefore, 20% of the apricot, by weight, is other material.

When left in the sun to dry, an apricot loses 75% of its water content, and none of the other material.

What percent of a dried apricot is water?

Math POTW #8

There are 15 Blue Jays and 14 Orioles that wish to rest on the branches of
three trees on a golf course that Mr. Nemirov is playing.
Each of the trees will have at least 4 Blue Jays and 2 Orioles. However, no tree
may have more Orioles than Blue Jays in its branches.

Determine the largest number of birds that can be in one tree.

Math POTW #7 - Hmmm...

Two different positive whole numbers, a and b, are both greater than 1. The second number, b, is larger than the first number. After the second number is increased by 1, it is multiplied by the first number. The resulting product is 260. This information can be represented by the equation a x (b + 1) = 260.
 
Determine all possible pairs of numbers that satisfy the equation.

Friday Activity - Charity Choices

This Friday, you were continuing to build documents on gapps (mostly  PowerPoints or 'Presentations') in order to persuade your intermediate peers that your selected international and local charities were the "best" selections.

There was a lot of great research put forth, in order to build an effective, persuasive presentation.

We will continue building the presentations next week. They will be due at the end of the next Friday activity.

Please see the link below to recall what the general format of the slides in your presentation should look like and/or include.
