Develop a Sequence for Problem Solving

1. Convert Measurements to Decimals: 1 foot 3” = 1.25 feet - - 0.5 = 6” etc.2. Simplify Shapes to:

Rectangles or Squares Right Triangles (one angle is 90 degrees) Any Shape where the Formula is Known

3. Carefully Evaluate the Known Information4. Solve the Problem (Answer the Question)5. Convert your answer to feet & inches OR

decimals as the test question requires.

9

Make Calculations in DecimalsConvert Inches to Feet by:inches / 12 = decimal feet

Remember: Convert your answer to feet & inches OR decimals as the test

question requires.

Math Calculations

Ratios• Why Ratios

–Using Roof Pitch in Calculations

29

Everyday Use of Ratio’s

• Your going to buy lawn fertilizer– Your lawn is 10,000 ft2

– The fertilizer bag label is:– 1 bag per 2000 ft2

• How many bags do you buy?

30

Everyday Use of Ratio’s• How many bags do you buy?

If 1 bag covers 2,000 then 10,000/2,000 = 5 bags

As a Ratio 1 bag = “X” bags Cross multiply

2,000 ft² 10,000 ft²

10,000 ft² x 1 bag = “X” bags x 2,000 ft²

“X” bags = 1 bag * 10,000 ft² Divide

2,000 ft²X bags = 5

31

Everyday Use of Ratio’s

• Your going to make chili for 2 people– Recipe is of 4 people– The recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of hot pepper

• How much hot pepper do you put in?– The right amount not fire engine chili

32

Everyday Use of Ratio’s• How much hot pepper do you put in?

If 3 teaspoons is for 4 people then 1 ½ teaspoons is for 2 people

As a Ratio 3 teaspoons = “X” teaspoons 4 people 2 people

2 people x 3 teaspoons = “X” teaspoons x 4 people

X teaspoons = 3 teaspoons x 2 people 4 people

X = 1.5 teaspoons or 1 ½ teaspoons

33

Units of Ratio’s

They have to be the same on both sides of the =

1 bag = X bags2,000 ft² 10,000 ft²

3 teaspoons = X teaspoons 4 people 2 people

Working with a Circular Shape

81

Circumference (c)= Distance around the outside edge of the circle

82

Circles

Diameter = Distance across a circle (D) If you divide the distance around the circle (circumference – c ) by the diameter the answer will ALWAYS be = 3.14 It is a constant called “pie”

= 3.14D

83

Diameter of a Circle

Radius = Distance from the center of a circle to the edge (r)

r

“r” = ½ diameter

84

Radius of a Circle

The area of a circle is equal to times the radius (r)

squared.

r a = r²

Remember “” is a constant = 3.14.

The length of “r” is one half of the diameter (the distance across the circle.)

Take “r” and multiply it by itself to get r².

Now multiply times the product of r² to get the area (a) of the circle.”
