7th grade - Extra credit

Good afternoon everyone!

Again, here I have some extra credit problems for you. All you have to do is copy these problems into a word document, print it out and THEN solve. Remember you must explain your reasoning (process).
This is not mandatory, however, if you wish to make up for some missing points (such as the ones on the quiz) this is your chance. You have until Thursday January 26th, 2012.

Enjoy!
