6th grade homework for Friday March 15th, 2013

Good afternoon!
This homework is for all of you to review how to solve one-step equations.
Remember that when solving you must always work with inverse operations and that your goal is to isolate the variable (leave the variable alone).

Solve the equation. Check your answers. (Remember you must always show your work)
a) 27x = 0

b) t/18 = 9

c)105 + r = 105

d) q + 12 = 20

e) x - 32 = 20

f) 20m = 40

g) 9u = 81.9

h) A florist delivers flowers to 12 different people. If each customer pays the same amount and the florist is paid $180 total, how much did each customer pay? Use the equation 12p = 180 where p is the price paid by each person.

i) A mailman delivered 63 pieces of mail to one neighborhood. Each house received 9 pieces of mail. How many houses were in the neighborhood? Write and solve an equation.

j) A basketball player usually gets 21 points a game. At the end of the third quarter in one game he had 13 points. If he scores 2 points for each basket, will 3, 4, or 5 more baskets give him exactly 21 points? Explain.

Have a great afternoon!

6th grade homework due Thursday March 7th, 2013

The following homework is for all of you to review operations with integers and decimals. Remember that in Math it is very important that you practice at all times. I know you can all do great!

Rules for operations with integers:
* Multiplying and dividing: Same sign is ALWAYS POSITIVE/ Different signs is ALWAYS NEGATIVE
* Adding and subtracting: Same sign, I keep the sign and I add the absolute value/ Different signs, I subtract the absolute value and keep the sign of the integer with the greatest absolute value

Rules for operations with decimals:
* Adding and subtracting: I must arrange my decimals matching the decimal point, and keep the decimal point in the same place in my result.
* Multiplying: Multiply as you always do. At the end, count the number of decimal places you have in your factors and then move the decimal point as many times in your product.
* Dividing: remember you divisor CANNOT be a decimal.

Exercises:

Simplify:

a) 23.68 / 6.4 (Division)
b) 0.54 + 0.027
c) 4.6 - 3.87
d) 2.7 x 6.25
e) At a grocery store, you buy hamburger weighing 1.42lb, sausage weighing 2.16lb, and chicken weighing 3.73lb. How many pounds of meat did you buy? If each pound costs $0.56, how much money would you spend?

a) 14 + (-8)
b) 17 - (-12)
c) -5(6)
d) 125/(-5) (Division)
e)You earn $5.25 an hour at your job in a restaurant but pay for any food you eat. On Friday, you receive a check for 7 hours of work, minus $8.90 for food. What is the amount on your check?


Have a great afternoon!
