4-6 • Guided Problem Solving

Exercise 35

The formula gives the strength s of a radio signal at

a distance d miles from the transmitter. What is the strength at 5 mi? Write your answer in simplest form.

Understand the Problem

1. What does the variable s represent?

2. What does the variable d represent?

3. What does the formula give?

4. What are you asked to find?

Make and Carry Out a Plan

5. Substitute 5 for d in the formula.

6. Simplify the denominator of the fraction.

7. Write the fraction in simplest form.

8. What is the strength of the radio signal 5 mi from the transmitter?

Check the Answer

9. In simplifying the answer, why did you simplify the denominator first?

10. Substitute your answer for s in the formula and solve for d. What is the distance?

Solve Another Problem

11. The acceleration in meters per second per second (m/s2) of a

racing car at 100 meters after it starts moving is given by ,

where a is acceleration and t is time in seconds. What is the

acceleration of the car if it takes 4 seconds to travel 100 meters?

Unit 7 Graphic Organizer

Write your answers. Use the class’ website and the Table of Contents page for Chapter 4 and

Chapter 5 at the front of the book to obtain the title of the unit, section numbers, section

names, learning objective (s), and skills/definitions covered in this unit.

Then answer the following questions:

1. What is the title of this Unit?

2. What are the section numbers and titles covered in this unit?

3. What is/are the learning objective(s) for each section?

4. What are the skills/definitions you will learn on each section?

5. Complete the graphic organizer by:

a. Writing the title of the unit in the center oval.

b. Writing the lesson (section) number and name in each of the bold framed rectangle.

c. Writing the learning objective(s) for each section in the outer doted oval linked to

that bold framed rectangle.

d. Writing the skills/definitions you will learn in the outermost rectangles linked to the

doted oval.

6. Continue with steps b, c, and d clockwise around the graphic organizer.

UNIT 7 OPERATIONS WITH FRACTIONS California 7th Grade Math Standards

Number Sense Standard Set 1.0: Students know the properties of, and compute

with, rational numbers expressed in a variety of forms:

7NS1.2* Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (integers, fractions, and

terminating decimals) and take positive rational numbers to whole-number powers.

7NS1.3 Convert fractions to decimals and percents and use these representations in

estimations, computations, and applications.

7NS1.5* Know that every rational number is either a terminating or repeating decimal

and be able to convert terminating decimals into reduced fractions.

Number Sense Standard Set 2.0: Students use exponents, powers, and roots and use

exponents in working with fractions:

7NS2.2* Add and subtract fractions by using factoring to find common denominators.

Algebra and Functions: Standard Set 1.0: Students express quantitative

relationships by using algebraic terminology, expressions, equations, inequalities,

and graphs:

7AF1.3* Simplify numerical expressions by applying properties of rational numbers

(e.g., identity, inverse, distributive, associative, commutative) and justify the process

used.
