Copy and answer the following question. Show all of your work.

Rani has determined that 10 beans weigh 0.25 ounces. About how many beans are in a bag that weighs 12 ounces?

Review of rules for adding integers (see Friday's 8/31 notes)

Examples

1) (-8) + 5= -3 (signs are different, subtract, the bigger number is negative so the answer is negative)

2) (-2) + (-4) = -6

3) c + 4 for c = -8

(-8) + 4 = -4

4) Meka opened a new bank account. Find her account balance after the first four transactions listed below.

Deposits : $200, $20Withdrawals: $166, $38

200 + 20 + (-166) + (-38) = 220 + (-204) = $16

Bell Work-List the steps of the Scientific Method

Science Experiment Terms

1) Control- the normal state - conducting the experiment without a variable

2) independent variable- the variable put in to change the outcome

3) dependent variable- the outcome- what is going to change in the experiment (change we see)

4) theory- explanation of a phenomenon supported by experiments and data, not a scientific law yet

5) scientific law- a phenomenon that always occurs eg. gravity

Quiz 1.4 Adding Integers

1. -7 + (-7) =

2. 15 + (-9) + (-2) =

3. 13 + r for r = -15

4. 2 + b + (-9) for b = -6

5. On Monday, a local dog shelter had six dogs. By Friday, they found homes for three but took in two more. Then how many dogs were in the shelter?

1.5 Subtracting Integers

5-3=2

-5-3 = -8 (change the minus to a plus, make the 3 negative)

5- (-3) = 8 (change the minus and the negative to a plus and a positive, then subtract)

RULE: Change subtraction to addition, change the second number to it's opposite.

1) -7-4 = -7 + (-4) = -11

2) 8 - (-5) = 8 + 5 = 13

3) -6 - (-3) = -6 + 3 = -3

4) The top of the Sears Tower in Chicago is 1454 feet above street level while the lowest level is 43 below street level. How far is it from the lowest level to the top?

1454 - (-43) = 1454 + 43 = 1497

Notes:

1-6 Multiplying and Dividing Integers

Repeated addition 2 (3) = 3 + 3

Rules: Signs are the same sign of answer is positive, Signs are different the sign of the answer is negative.

-8 (-5) = 40

-18/2 = -9

-25/-5 = 5

-5 (-5 +2) = -5 (-3) = 15

-2 (14 - 5) - -2 (9) = -18

4 (-3 - 8) = 4 (-3 + -8) = 4 (-11) = -44
