Michael's Scribe Post (3,11,17)

3. Teammates Mark and Jonas are discussing the outcome of a game.
Mark says their team scored 500% as many goals as the other
team and Jonas says they scored five times as many goals as the
other team. Can they both be correct? Explain how you know.



Say the score is 3-15. If the team Mark and Jonas are talking
about is 15, then they would both be correct, because 3x5=15, the team with 15 would be ahead 5 times as many goals than the other team.






11. Express the shaded portion of each diagram
as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent.
A)

A) Fraction 17/25 B) Fraction 9/24
Decimal 0.68 Decimal 0.375
Percent 68% Percent 37.5%


17. A fundraising coordinator is preparing an
advertising flyer for an upcoming event. She
wants to use either a fraction or a decimal
number to represent each of the percents in
the following statements. Decide whether a
fraction or a decimal number is better and
rewrite each statement using your chosen
representation. Justify your choices

A) Ticket sales are 13/10 of what they
were at this time last year.

B) We are already at 605/1000 of our target and we just started!

C) We have managed to cut our costs by 0.0075



Here is a link explaining how to convert decimals into fractions.

  6. Great Job, Michael! I liked how how you added some pictures. Did you get into the math textbook site correctly? Your link was also pretty helpful. When it comes to converting decimals into a fraction some people become uneasy and get confused a lot, this link would definitely come in handy at times. You could have used a different color, size or even font to organize this scribe post. I see that you have made the word "would" stand out. Could you also make your answers stand out? (By answers I meant: 0.68, 68% and 68/100) You did a great job!

  22. Good job Michael! I liked how you showed important pieces of information and adding helpful pictures and a link to go with it too, but I especially like how you bleed some words to make it pop out and pay attention to that sentence or topic. Maybe next time you should put a video to further make us understand, but in total, you did great! (:
