Questions+for+Diana

Hi mum its me Blake my group has a question for you can we have half a shelf or a fraction of a shelf if there's left over tapes that need to be stored or do you have to get whole shelves from Blake Peter Andrew

Hi Blake, Peter and Andrew, It is ok to have half a shelf, or a fraction of a shelf. Have fun solving the problem Diana h Hi Diana From the mathematicians' tool shed we used the tool 'break it into managable parts'. We did, 21times $3 =$63. Then we did 21 times 25cents =$5.25. Then we plused $63+$5.25. We then used a calcualtor to check our answer Why can't you do 30, rather than 25, to make it easier to add? From Melissa,Vanessa,Connar and Ryan.

Hi Melissa, Vanessa, Connar and Ryan, You did a great job! $68.25 is the correct answer...Well done!

Our shelves are too small to fit 30 tapes - we can only fit 25. The tapes are 1.5cm wide and the shelves are only 40cm wide. From Diana

Hi Diana it's Melissa, Vanessa,Ryan,Ben and Connor again, We are doing the problem with the core here is our question. What size are the special tables? **Hi Melissa, Vanessa Ryan, Ben and Connor....The tables are 15metres long each....therefore hold 15metres of core each.**
 * Hi Diana It’s Sarah, Erin, Maddie and Matthew and we have a solution to your problem. **


 * The tool we used was breaking it up in to more manageable parts. It was a good tool to use because it seems easier to use. **
 * so we tried multiplying 21 with $3.25 and that made 68.25 **

That's the correct answer! Well Done ..... **
 * 3x21=$63.00+$5.25=$68.25

1. We used a mathematician’s tool that is ‘try all possibilities. We counted by 25s 14 times 350 then we put on 17 which = 367 so the answer is 14 and a half cabinets. 2. The next thing we tried was We counted by 50.So we went 25 +25=50 and we went 14 times = 350. 350+17= 367 the answer is 14 and a half 3. 25x10=250 25x4=100, 250+100=350, 350+17=367 = 14 cabinets and a half By Ashley, Jai, Nicholas, and Vincint **That's the correct answer! Well Done .....**

Hi Diana i Maddie, Erin and Sarah and we have a questions for you
Do the selfs have to have 25 tapes on them each or can they be different? **The shelves have to have exactly 25 tapes on each!** Hi it is Maddie,Sarah and Erin we have another question for you! do the shelfs have to be full? **Hi Girls - yes the shelves have to be full thanks... **  Hi mum it's Andrew and me. We did the problem about the core. We used the 'draw a picture' tool. We drew the 12 table and drew 15 marks on each table for the core. We added up the core and it was 180 metres {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++} {+++++++++++++++}  You needed to put 225metres on the table so we had to work out the difference between 225 and 180 so we counted by 10's starting at 180 and got 40 and then 5 more so the difference is 45 metres so you need three more tables. Hope this is the right answer.

Hi Diana it's Francis, Anthony and Matthew and we solved your problem about the shelving. We use the make a model tool. we got 367 blocks and put 25 in a group and you need 16 shelfs

this is us working out the problem <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">
