DECIMALS

Hey dudes,
In maths, we have been... arrrgh, forget it. WALT convert between percentages, fractions and decimals. Right now my group is TRYING as HARD as they CAN to understand what the teacher is going on about. For example he wrote down on our modelling book, 0.134 and then he showed us on the deci-mat what it was worth. Then he wrote down a 1\2 and said "what would this be in decimals". The answer was 0.5 but before we worked it out he showed us on the deci-mat by folding it in half.
So now my group... sort of knows what decimals are so yay another happy ending.

FRACTIONS

...Uh, what should i do... Something to do with school. I know, Pizza! I want a LARGE fraction of pizza. Aha! that is something to do with school. FRACTIONS!!! Here is a reasonable question for me to do, to show you how to do this. (uh does that make sense?) 1/4 + 2/3=

I am a bit rusty on this subject but I think I will be able to tell you the answer. You first have to figure out what both of these denominators fit into. 12 is that number because 3 times 4 = 12. So that means the denominator of the answer is 12. Now we look at the whole of the fraction. What is a common fraction of 2/3. The lowest one is 4/6, but that does not fit into 1/4 so lets go a bit higher. How about 8/12, Yep that fits in to 1/4. (if that makes sense!) now what is a common fraction to 1/4, what about 3/12. That is perfect. So now we have the same denominator the question would be written like this, 3/12 + 8/12= Now that is easier. (finally!) Obviously the answer is 11/12!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

MATH!!

In maths my group is called Einstein and we are the highest group.We do lots of really hard questions like 987 + 654= I will tell you how we solve them. First of all we say well 4+7=11 so we put a 1 at the end and then we carry the one. Then we do 5+8=13 but this time since we carried the one we need to add 1 so 6+8=14 because the answer was 14 you have to carrie the one again 7 + 9 =16 so... 987 + 654 =1641
thank you thank you
I know that I am a human calculator.
