Merry Christmas

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

How I stopped an alien invasion

A Alien plant was invaded and some aliens got off there plant before it was destroyed. When the alien leader was asking where to go his crew said "lets go to earth!" The aliens threatened and took over earth. The only way to stop them was to solve an proportion question.

definitions :
ratio - compares 2 quantities measured in different units.
rate - compares 2 quantities measured in the same units.

difference :
The difference is that ratio compares two different quantities in the same units and rate compares two different quantities in different units.

questions :
How many pennies would there be in 7 jars ? if there were 5840 pennies in 7 jars , how much would there be in a jar ? 5840 divided by 7 = 834 . so there would be 834.. pennies in 7 jars.

Determine the unit rate in each situation.

question : An orca swims 110 km in 2 hours.

You can get the answer by first getting the hours to 1 hour for the unit rate. so divid it by itself which is 2, then you get 1. You do the same to the other side and you get 55.
answer: orca whale swims 55 km/h

question : A Canada goose flies 800 km in 12.5 hours.

You divide each side by 12.5 and you get 64 on the km and 1 in the hours.
answer : Canada goose flies 64 km / h.

question : Cathy plants 45 daffodils in 30 min.

You multiply each side by 2. Which gets you the answer 90 daffodils/ h.

What would the recipe look like if it had to serve 10 people? Show your calculations.

10 ÷ 4 = 2.5

ground beef - 0.5 x 2.5 = 1.25
stalk celery finely diced - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5
clove garlic, minced - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5
canned tomatoes, chopped - 14 x 2.5 = 35
oz can tomato paste - 0.5 x 2.5 = 1.25

lb medium onion, diced - 1 x 2.5 =

parsley - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5
tsp basil - 1.5 x 2.5 = 3.75
tsp oregano - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5
tsp sugar - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5
tsp Worcestershire Sauce - 0.5 x 2.5 = 1.25
tsp seasoning salt - 0.5 x 2.5 = 1.25
tsp bay leaf - 1 x 2.5 = 2.5

What would the recipe look like if you had to only serve 1 person? Show your calculations.

10 ÷ 1 = 10

ground beef - 1.25 ÷ 10 = 0.125
lb medium onion, diced - 2.5 ÷ 10 = 0.25
stalk celery finely diced - 2.5 ÷ 10 = 0.25
clove garlic, minced - 2.5 ÷ 10 = 0.25
canned tomatoes, chopped - 35 ÷ 10 = 3.5
oz can tomato paste - 1.25 ÷ 10 = 0.125

QUESTION 13!!

Q:A small triangular flower bed has a square
stepping stone at each of its sides. Is the
flower bed in the shape of a right triangle?
Explain your reasoning.

A:Well, since the area of the legs are 4800cm squared, and the hypotenuse's area is 9800cm squared, the pythagorean relationship will not work! Since the formula is a2+b2=c2, a2 and b2 would fall short equaling 9600cm2. So because of the pythagorean relationship, this triangle is not a right triangle!
