Gielh's home work book questions Scribe post
5) The commission for the sale of a house was 6 and 3 fourths %. IF the house sold for $345 000 how much was the commission?

How I got the answer: I divided 6.75 by 100 then i got the decimal number which
is 0.0675. I multiplied 0.0675 by 345000 then i got 23287. The commission is $23287.
7 a) Miguel Bought a car for $4700. He made a down payment of 19 1/2%. How much was the down payment

How I got the answer : I divided 19.5 by 100 so I got a decimal number which is 0.195. I multiplied 0.195 by 4700 and I got 916.5. So Miguel's down payment was $ 916.50.
b) about 5.6% of Canadians have type 2 diabetes . IF Canada's population is 32 million , About ho
w many Canadians have this Condition?

How I got the answers: I divide 5.6 by 100 so then I got a decimal number which is 0.056. I multiplied 0.056 by 32 million and then I got 1.792 million Canadians have diabetes.
c) the 4900 - seat hockey arena was 63% full. How many people were at the game?
How I got the answer : I divide 63 by a 100 then I got a decimal number which is o.63 % . I multiplied 0.63 by 4900 and i got 3087. So 3087 people .
8)The Nile river is about 209% the length of the Yukon River. If the Yukon River is 3168 km , How long is the Nile River ( to the nearest km?)

How I got the Answer : I Divide 209 by 100 so then I got a decimal number 2.09. Then I multiplied 2.9 by 3168 which is 6621.12 %
*I divided by 100 first because a percent is out of a 100.
Here is a video of how to find a percent of a number :

Gielh's Graphing post
1. Use your notes to list the different types of graphs. Please list the advantages and disadvantages of each graph.

Pictographs are the best for comparing data that can be easily counted and represented using symbols. But the disadvantage is that the pictographs is that pictures are in different sizes.

Double bar graph are the best for comparing two sets
of data. But the disadvantage is the intervals are hard to find and plot it.

Line graph is the best for showing changes over time and it shows the trend. But the disadvantage using a line graph is its hard to plot and the intervals aren't accurate .

Circle Graph graphs are the best for percents and part to wholes. Disadvantage is percents are really close and the categories.

2) how can graphs be misleading . show 3 ways
1)One is that you could put a break on the x-axis
2) Another way if misleading a graph is drawing different sizes for the pictographs.
3) Another way is distorting the graph or scale.
2a) The following chart shows Pizza Sub Sales over a month. What 2 graphs would show the information accurately?
I would use a bar graph and a line graph.
2b) I would keep selling pizza subs because as weeks come by the trend is going higher .
4) Below you see 2 different examples of graphs showing healthy choices sold at the canteen. If you had to convince Mrs Mota that we should continue selling healthy choices which graph would you choose?
4) Below you see 2 different examples of graphs showing healthy choices sold at the canteen. If you had to convince Mrs Mota that we should continue selling healthy choices which graph would you choose?
I would use the Line graph because it shows the changes over time.
4a) Change each graph so that your information looks even MORE impressive. You may not change the data just the graphs.

Gielh's Proportion Post
Example: you have a bag of 33 skittles, you pour 20 in your hand . It would look like this
33/20 or 30:20
Example : The rate at which you type 30 words
perminute. Another example :


Proportion- An equation which sates that two ratios are equal.
Example :

1) 5 hours to travel 360 miles about 72 mph

2) As a play group worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25ml to 100ml, how much should I increase the orange juice to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50ml to start with.

3) what are the three ways you can prove that statements are true?



1) Does this seem fair? No because he only took 100 dollars . He could of only stayed at jail for 1 month not 15 years .
2) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice?
Its not fair for Roy Brown Because he only took a hundred dollars then he felt guilty and the next day he surrenders to the police . Alexandria should of been jailed for 15 years instead of Roy Brown.
3) What would you have done if you were the judge?
If i was the judge i would only put Roy Brown in prison for only a month.
