Here is the problem

4 6/7 multiply by 1 8/9= ?

The / stands for a fraction bar.
the space betwene the 4 and 6 means it is a mixed number so does 1 and 8
please include how to do the problem and the answer

-thanks

first you change the mixed numbers into fractions
so 4 6/7 would become 34/7 because you multiply the whole number (4) with the denominator (7) and then add the numerator (6) to get the fraction which is 34/7

you do teh same for the second mixed number and you should get 17/9

now you have… 34/7 x 17/9

you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get 578
next you multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get 63

so your answer is 578/63

I go to a private school and i want to go to a public school again. I am in middle school. School Math standards for private schools in california is 6th – regular math 7th- Math07 or pre algebra 8th- pre algebra or algebra. my teacher says that public schools in california use this too. I don’t believe this because my cousin go’s to a public middle school and is in 6th grade and her math class is pre algebra. so please answer

she may say its pre-algebra but it really isnt.
ur perfectly right exept 8th is math 08 or algebra

I don’t own a calculator, but will need one to take the Praxis 2 Middle School Math Exam in Pennsylvania (Test 0069). Can anyone recommend a type of calculator that would work? I think we need to be able to do graphs on it?
Thanks!

I think the Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator is the best choice for you http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00001N2QU?ie=UTF8&tag=digitsy-marina-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00001N2QU

Look at the function table.
X Y
-1 -8
0 -5
1 -2
2 1
What happens to y when x increases by 2?
A y decreases by 3
B y decreases by 6
C y increases by 3
D y increases by 6

The answer’s D…but I hav no clue why??

compare the y values when x changes from 0 (as in the pair (0,-5)) to 2 (as in the pair (2,1) when x increases by 2 (from 0 to 2), the y value increases from (-1) to 5: A difference of 6 in the positive direction.

I need it…….please give me the link

An inexpensive instructional aid for middle school math…?
What may be a good home made instructional aid for middle school math topics? Any ideas teachers?

Foldables

I am going into 7th grade into a public school for the first time. Wha is the difference betwwen Advanced Placment and normal math? Is there only future high school dropouts in normal math?

normal math is just that the regular math for that grade level where AP math is a higher grade level of math for that particular student so if your in 7th grade and you going into AP math you will be taking 8th grade math instead of 7th

grades 6, 7, and 8

Each year I read my students the book titled Math Curse. It’s about a teacher who tells his students that pretty much everything can be viewed in terms of math. Then the narrator starts seeing math everywhere and it drives him crazy.

After reading the book, I put up the words from the book (I can’t remember them verbatim right now). The kids then bring me an item I can easily attach to the board with a math problem written on an index card. These are placed on the board for other student to try and solve. For example: a candy bar wrapper. The question might be "If every person in Mrs. ???’s class ate three candy bars, how much fat would they have consumed?" Or, a highlighter and the question might be, "If highlighters were placed end-to-end all the way to the moon, how many highlighters would be needed?"

The kids love it and the book is really cool.

I should know this… At 4 miles per hour, it takes exactly one hour for Abe to walk to school in a blinding blizzard. How many minutes would it take for him if he were to walk at 5 miles per hour? I already know the answer (48 minutes), but I am wondering how you get this number. I feel so stupid! I’m just having one of those blank-out moments!
Anyways, I would appreciate input on this problem.

Thank you!

I find the easiest way to approach these problems is with a pair of ratios, along with a little assumption to make life easier (you can in this case).
Assume that his house is exactly 4 miles away from school; it doesn’t matter exactly how far he is since he’s walking at a constant rate.
With this assumption, we know that it will take him 1 hour to get to school.
Speed = distance/time = 4 miles/1 hour = 4 miles/60 minutes

If he walks at 5 miles per hour,
5 miles/ 60 minutes = 4 miles/x minutes, where x is the time it will take Abe to get to school. –> (he walks at a constant speed so we want to keep the ratio the same)
Using cross-multiplication, we get x minutes = (4 miles) * (60 minutes) / (5 miles) = 48 minutes (the units for miles cancels out).

Thus is takes him 48 minutes to get to school.

I know what that feels like; it’s so annoying when it happens. Hope this helps!

I’m tutoring a rising 6th grader in math. what are some elementary and middle school math subjects that we should go over and some websites that i could use to gather information and sample problems?

coolmath4kids.com is a great website that will educate him, while it has a fun-aspect to it as well. It examines things like algebra, geometry, ratios, comparing and ordering decimals, etc..
