4.

A)

An example of a linear relationship in real life is
how much oranges a basket can hold. For example to get to 1 basket full you would need 5 oranges. 

Another example with out context is the x axis going up by ones starting at 1. then the Y axis going up by 3 starting at 3   


B)

C)

One with Context 

One without Context

D) 

Some Similar things are both of them a x and y axis. Also both graphs have a linear relation ship and both graphs have also the same pattern going on on x and y axis's. Some Differences are that one is label and the other one is not and the one with out context goes up by 3 each time while the one with context goes up by 5 each time.






7.

A)

When  x  is equal to 6

5x - 3 =  y
5(6) - 3 = y
30 - 3 = y
27 =  y



B)

When  x  is equal 5

x - 8 = y 
(5) - 8 = y
(-3) = y


C)

When  x  is equal to (-2)

-5x = y
-5(-2) = y
10 = y


D)

When  y  is equal 25

x = y

x = 25



10.

A)

2x = y

B)

3x - 1 = y

C)

-4x + 5 = y

D)

5 - x = y

13.

A)

B) 

Yes because you can graph decimals and also graph numbers even if the number is not there. Meaning if you look at the graph there is no one but if you put it in the middle of 0 and 2 it is indicating that the point must be one. but if you have a point between 0 and 1 it must be indicating that it must be a decimal.

Gerard's Pay it Forward

Part 1

Pay it Forward is a chain reaction of kindness where it all starts with one person. Pay it Forward is also doing anything helpful for one another without asking anything in return.



Part 2

What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?

My pay it forward was shoveling other people's side walks with Joel.

Why did you choose this activity? 

I chose this activity because this the best way I can give all my effort to finish Pay it Forward and to help others.

Who did you help?

Me and Joel Helped two Women named Amber and Helen.

What did you do?

Me and Joel Shoveled sidewalks and front steps not far from where me and him live.

When did you do you act of kindness?

At December 2, 2012 

                                Part 3

How did your act of kindness go?

Are act of kindness went well took us along time to find a house

that hasn't been shoveled yet. 

What Happened?

We shoveled their sidewalk until the sidewalk was clear as possible and when we were finding houses that needed shoveling it took Joel and I a long time to find a house because so many were already done. But at the end we manage to pull it off and finish the job to the best of our abilities.

How did you feel?

I felt really good because I helped someone out without getting anything back.

There is a feeling in me that makes me feel so happy and proud.

How did the person or people react?

Amber was surprised because when she asked how much we said we are doing this for free she got very 
surprised and glad.

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?

I think so we told her we are doing this for Pay it forward and she should do a good deed to someone to.

How did they react to your request?

I think she said she will try and she also asked us what are names were and what school we go to,
she seemed very interested.

Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important?

Pay it Forward is important because it shows each and everyone of us in this world that we can change by doing small things for one another and one day are planet will be united and be bonded with true love in this world.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?
I think it made a difference because I just save them time shoveling their sidewalk and front steps. Also saved them money because they thought we were doing this for money.

I don't agree with his method because it will lead you to not getting your answer correct and the question is not asking 4/3 multiplied by 2/3, it is asking how many groups of 2/3 are in 3/4. So the right answer should be 9/8 or 1 and 1/8.

Gerard's Proportion Post

Part 1

Ratio: A comparison of two quantities that both have the same unit of measure.

Rate: is a ratio that compares two 
quantities of different units














Proportion: A relationship that says that two ratios or two rates are equal. Can be written in fraction form 

Part 2

1.  5 hours to travel 360 kilometers is about _____km/h.

2.  Emma saves 28 cents of every dollar that she earns.  Emma earned $75 last week.  How much money did Emma save last week?

                                                                                                                                                                                     














Part 3







If you try the three different ways for 4/9 = 16/32 it will never work because they are not equivalent

1. No It`s not fair. 
2. No it`s still not fair even the proportion disagrees. 

3.The reason why it is not fair is because that homeless man got sent to prison for 15 years for stealing a 100 dollar bill which he gave back. While the other guy the Ex-Ceo who stole 3 Billion Dollars only went to prison for 40 months which is about 3 years.

4. If I was the judge I would sent the Ex-Ceo to 47 years and one month of imprisonment because I researched about this guy named Allen Standford and he stole 7billion dollars and got imprisoned for 110 years. So then I divided 110 by 7 which equaled around 15.7years. Then I multiplied it by 3 to get 47.1 years and 3 billion dollars. Also I would sent the homeless man to around 1-3 months of imprisonment because all he was that he stole a 100 dollar bill then he gave it back afterwards. But what the homeless man did i think  was attempted Robbery. 

Bonus Question

Question:
How tall is the tree on the left?

Answer:
The guy is Canadian because he is walking in Assiniboine Park. The average height of a Canadian is 6 ft so then I multiplied him by 3. So then I got 6*3= 18 ft. So the tree would be 18 ft tall or approximately
