Solving Proportions MATT222 Intermediate Algebra A comparison of two numbers is referred to as a ratio‚ similar to fractions that can be reduced to lowest terms and then converted into a ratio of integers. Ratios allow one to compare sizes of two quantities and unit measurements. Any statement expressing the equality of two ratios is known as a proportion‚ which is used in numerous formulas in today’s real world settings and applications. Using proportions is an effective

The Cold Equation In the short story "The Cold Equation" Tom Godwin explains the theme that you don’t always get what you want. The characters are Marilyn Lee Cross‚her brother‚ and the EDS pilot. When the EDS pilot finds her in the ship he had a conversation about how she was going to die. on page. Before she died she had the chance to talk and sends letters to her brother and family. The time had come‚ she would be ejected out of the ship. The story begins with a girl that wants to see her

Solving the quadratic equations using the FOIL method makes the equations easier for me to understand. The Foil method‚ multiplying the First‚ Outer‚ Inner and Last numbers‚ breaks down the equation a little further so you understand where some of your numbers are coming from‚ plus it helps me to check my work. Equation (a.) x^2 – 2x – 13 = 0 X^2 – 2x = 13 (step a) 4x^2 – 8x = 52 (step b‚ multiply by 4) 4x^2 – 8x + 4 = 52 + 4 (step c‚ add to both sides the square of original

or fear of the unknown.” Many conflicts that were presented during these stories triggered fear‚ panic and fright‚ relating back to the “xenophobia” the characters felt during the story. The two stories that I read during this unit were “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin and “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells. I believe that H.G. Wells’ story contributed and related more to this unit’s theme. Therefore‚ I think there are many solid quotes that would reinforce my argument. During “War of the Worlds”

TITLE Bernoulli ’s Principle OBJECTIVE experiment is done to investigate the validation of the Bernoulli’s equation and also to measure pressure distribution along venture tube. INTRODUCTION This experiment is carried out to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem when applied to the steady flow of water in tapered duct and to measure the flow rates and both static and total pressure heads in a rigid convergent/divergent tube of known geometry for a range of steady flow rates.

problem solving? Problem Solving is a tool‚ a skill and a process. It is a tool because it can help to solve an immediate problem or to achieve a goal. It is a skill because you can use it repeatedly‚ like the ability to ride a bicycle‚ add numbers or speak a language. It is also a process because it involves taking a number of steps. Problem solving is a mental process that involves discovering‚ analyzing and solving problem. Reed (2000) posits that the ultimate goal of problem solving is to

Solving Proportions MAT 222 Instructor: Dr. Stacie Williams Solving Proportions Bear population. To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula‚ conservationists captured‚ tagged‚ and released 50 bears. One year later‚ a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population? Let’s make "x" the number of the total bear population. The ratio of originally tagged bears to the whole population

Discuss the seven steps in problem solving. Give a practical example of how you could apply these seven steps in making a decision and solving a problem. The goal of a good problem-solving process is to make individuals and organizations more "conflict-friendly" and "conflict-competent". Understand the interests of everyone involved so that solution(s) are satisfying to all parties. The seven steps to problem solving and effective decision-making are: 1. Identify and clearly define the problem
