THE STUDY OF PERCENT STARTS WITH FRACTIONS.



Divide region A into two identical sections.


Did you make the following division?


Divide region B into three identical sections.


Did you make the following division?


Divide region C into four identical sections.


That wasn’t so bad.


Divide region D into seven identical sections.


Was your brain on overdrive?

BSI Workshop: MathematicsPEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, BUT SHARE COMMON FEARS.


FOR ME, IT IS SCARY NURSES.

FOR MANY STUDENTS, IT IS MATH

and more often than not, we just see the RESULTS.



SYRINGES COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES.

LET’S ADDRESS BOTH FEARS.


THE BASIC IDEA BEHIND FINDING A FRACTIONAL PART OF A QUANTITY IS :

Find ¾ of 80.

1) FIRST FIND ¼ OF THE QUANTITY.

2) THEN MULTIPLY BY 3.


Find 5/4 of 80.THE CONCEPT REMAINS UNCHANGED EVEN IF THE FRACTION IS IMPROPER :


WHAT IS 92% OF 50?

HOW MUCH SALINE SOLUTION IS IN THE SYRINGE?

AS DETERMINED BY THE TECHNO-SAVY STUDENT.

Percent x Whole = Portion; so

0.92 x 50 = Portion (saline solution)

and

0.92 x 50 = 46 ml of saline solution.

A SYRINGE CONTAINS 50 ML OF MEDICATION OF WHICH 92% IS SALINE.

IN MATH, ALL SYRINGES ARE PROPORTIONAL.


AS DETERMINED BY MATHEMATICAL UNIFORMITY.


The two are proportional.

If the unknown, N, represents the amount of saline solution, then

46 ml of saline solution

AS DETERMINED BY THE LOGICAL VISUALISTS.

The left side is divided in 100 sections; so divide the right side into 100 sections or 0.50 each, consider 92 sections, totaling 0.50 x 92 equals 46 ml of saline solution.


WHAT IS 92% OF 50?


WHAT PERCENT OF THE SYRINGE IS THE SALINE SOLUTION?



Percent = Portion ÷ Whole

Percent = 48 ÷ 60 = 0.80 = 80%.

48 IS WHAT % OF 60?A SYRINGE CONTAINS 60 ML OF

MEDICATION OF WHICH 48 ML IS SALINE.

48 IS WHAT % OF 60?

WHAT % OF THE SYRINGE IS SALINE SOLUTION?



If N represents the percentage of saline solution, then

80% saline solution

A SYRINGE CONTAINS 60 ML OF MEDICATION OF WHICH 48 ML IS SALINE.


AS DETERMINED BY THE LOGICAL VISUALISTS.

The right side is divided in 60 sections; so divide the left side into 60 sections of 5/3 each, consider 48 sections, totaling 48 x 5/3 or 80% saline solution.

48 IS WHAT % OF 60?A SYRINGE CONTAINS 60 ML OF

MEDICATION OF WHICH 48 ML IS SALINE.

WHAT % OF THE SYRINGE IS SALINE SOLUTION?




0.96 x Whole = 60, and

Whole Amount = 60 ÷ 0.96

= 62.5 ml of medication.

A SYRINGE CONTAINS 60 ML OF SALINE SOLUTION WHICH REPRESENTS 96% OF THE MEDICATION.

HOW MUCH TOTAL MEDICATION WAS CONTAINED IN THE SYRINGE?

96% OF WHAT QUANTITY IS 60?




If N represents the amount of total medication in the syringe, then

62.5 ml of solution.


HOW MUCH TOTAL MEDICATION WAS CONTAINED IN THE SYRINGE?


AS DETERMINED BY THE LOGICAL VISUALISTS. The left side is divided

in 96 sections; so divide the right side into 96 sections of 60/96 = 5/8 each. Now consider 100 such sections 100 x 5/8 or 62.5 ml of medication



TECHNO-SAVY STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL IF THEY HAVE NUMBER SENSE .


BSI Workshop: MathematicsNUMBER SENSE IS ALSO A COMMON TRAIT OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS WHO VALUE MATHEMATICAL UNIFORMITY.

LOGICAL VISUALISTS HAVE NUMBER SENSE BUT LIVE IN A WORLD FOCUSED ON AUDITORY SEQUENTIAL LEARNERS.


PERCENTAGES ARE A MATTER OF SCALING AND NOT COMPARING.


A QUANTITY IS 100% OF ITSELF.

"Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!“ Who are we?

We first see the famous phrase in the Canon in "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" when Holmes tells Watson: "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!" The word "game" has two meanings. One is "quarry" or "spoils," and it would be the main meaning in Shakespeare's and Holmes' words. However, the other meaning of "game" is, "a diversion, pastime, or amusement; or a form of mental or physical competitive play, governed by specific rules and testing the skill, endurance, or luck of the participants."
