Homework for Thursday, 3/11

Trans Math: Dice Game Questions
*You should have completed your dice rolls today in class and exchanged data with your partner.
*Your graph should have 4 different colors; don't forget the color key.
*Be sure to have the totals at the bottom of each column.
*Answer the questions briefly, but completely. Convince me that you understand probability and how it is represented in a graph.
*Due Friday

Pre-Algebra: Guess what? It doesn't look like you'll be going to the library tomorrow after all, so we will be having class. All the more reason to have your homework completed, because we're moving on!
Assignment: pg 291, 7 - 12
*Use the textbook for definitions and examples. It is your "expert resource."
*Stuck on problems 9 - 12? See the example on pg. 289. You are simply solving proportions (that you are all fantastic at) by making a ratio with corresponding sides (see example #2 again) and simplify. Your simplified ratio should have whole numbers in it, even if you begin with a decimal as with #9. I suggest starting with problem #11 for practice.
*Another hint: you only need to find 2 corresponding sides to solve these. ALL of the corresponding sides of similar figures have the same ratio to one another as the other corresponding sides do to each other.
*Due Friday
