How do you find a weighted average? Loral received all her grades for the semester (in parentheses) along with the weight for each grade, shown below. What is her final grade? 45% = 3 tests (80%, 75%, 92%) 25% = final (88%) 15% = paper (91%) 15% = 2 oral quizzes each worth 25 points (22, 19)

1. Find the average of all the tests (82.3%) 2. Find the average of the oral test (88%) 3. Multiply each grade by the weight and then add them all together (82 × .45) + (88 × .25) + (91 × .15) + (82 × .15) = 85.

Jackson is 3 times as heavy as Andrew if the sum of their weight is 360, how much does Andrew weight?

5.6 / 8 = 0.70 0.70 X 100 = 70%

The area of one face of a cube is 49 square centimeters. What is the total length of all its edges?

* A cube has 6 faces and 12 edges* Find the square root of 49 then take that and multiply it by 12 7 X 12= 84

How would you find a percentage of a fraction Example: 50% of 1/2 + 1/4

1. Find the lowest common D 2. Make sure you are multiplying the top numbers as well 3. Make your percent a fractions as well (50% = 1/2) 4. 3/4 (got this number by finding lowest common D and then multiplying) X 1/2 = 3/8

How do you convert a fraction to an improper fraction

Example 2 1/4 First: You'll want to multiply the 2 by the 4 Then add the product so (2X4) +1 Add them all together and keep the denominator in place

How do you convert a fraction to an improper fraction with two numbers?

Example: 2 1/4 X 3 2/3 First: You want to multiply the 2 by the 4 and the 3 by the 3 (The two denominators) Then: you want to add the other two numbers then the 1 and the two (2 X 4) + 1 & (3 X 3) + 2 = 9/4 & 11/3 Now: we want to multiply them together so 9 X 11 & 4 X 3 = 99/12 Make sure you simplify!

Solve the inequality 17 - 2a < 10

First 17 -10 = -7 -2a < -7 Divide and since we are dividing two negatives we will switch the sign A > 3.5

A teacher has a rectangular piece of paper which is 52 cm long and 38 cm wide. She cuts the paper into squares, each measuring 5 cm by 5 cm. What is the largest number of whole squares she cuts?

First we divide 38 by 5 = 7 Then we divide 52 by 5 = 10 Now we multiply them together 7 X 10 = 70

John, Lucy and Emma share 60 pencils in the ratio 4:5:6. How many pencils does Lucy receive?

First you want to add all the ratios up 4+5+6 = 15 so John: 4/15 Lucy: 5/15 Emma: 6/15 Lucy: 5/15 (60) = 20

Simplify to a fraction in lowest terms: 6+9 ------ 6⋅9

First you want to add the 6+9 = 15 Then multiply the 6 X 9 = 54 Now you want to find the lowest common D 5/18

Given that 5 cm on a map represents 4 km on the ground, calculate the distance in km between two points, which are 8 cm apart on the map.

First you want to set up the equation 4/5 = x/8 Now we want to cross multiple 4 X 8 = 32 and 5x Now we want to divide X= 6.4

The price of a pencil box increased from $25 to $26.50. What is the percentage increase in the price?

First you want to take 26.5 - 25 = 1.5 1.5 divided by 25 = 0.06 0.06 X 100 = 6% (have to multiply by 100 to get percent)

How do you solve for X when where is a fraction in the equation?

First: you will want to multiply the whole equation by the denominator to get rid of the fraction Then you solve

How do you add two fractions together?

IF they have the same CD (common denominator) you just add across IF NOT you need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator) Then you multiply by the number it took to get to the lowest common denominator on each side Then you would add both fractions together

How do you subtract two fractions?

IF they have the same CD (common denominator) you just add across IF NOT you need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator) Then you multiply by the number it took to get to the lowest common denominator on each side Then you would subtract both fractions from each other since they have the same common denominator

Enrique weighs 5 pounds more than twice Brendan's weight. If their total weight is 225 pounds, how much does Enrique weigh?

If E + B = 225, and E = 2B + 5, then 225 - B = 2B + 5. Solving for B, 3B = 220 and B = 73.3. 225 - 73.3 = 151.7.

How do you divide fractions?

Keep, Change, Flip! Then multiply fractions! Example: 1/8 DIVIDED BY 3/4 1/8 X 4/3 = 4/24 because 1 X 4 & 8 X 3

How do you multiply fractions?

Multiply straight across For example: 2/5 X 2/3 (2 X 2) & (5X3) = 4/15

What is PEMDAS? What does it stand for?

PEMDAS is basically order of operations, when solving a problem you need to first do.... Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract

If Mike walks around the edge of a pool that is 20 feet wide and 110 feet long four times how far has he walked in total?

Rectangle area: 2 X L + 2 X W (2 X 20) + (2 X 110) = 260 260 X 4 (walked around 4 times) = 1040
