Fraction Division

What is 3/4 divided by 1/8?

You need to know how to read every question before you start any math problem because that is where you start off your math thinking, and understanding. You can read this question as "How many groups of 1/8 go into 3/4?". An easy way to solve this is by converting 3/4 to 6/8, then you know that 1/8 goes into 6/8 6 times.

The way you solve this problem using reciprocals is to turn the second number upside down meaning you would turn 1/8 to 8/1 and then change the division to a multiplication sign and do the problem like a fraction multiplication problem. Multiply the numerators, then the denominators, and change the improper fraction (if it is) back to a proper fraction or mixed number. →

This model shows how many times 1.8 goes into 3/4 of a whole. The bar is broken up into quarters and eighths. Then I counted the amount of 1/8 in 3/4 of a whole. ↓

Sticking It On Floor

Sticking It On Floor My eyes were puddled with tears. They were slowly trying to make their way out, but they weren’t. I felt like I had willingly ended the world for my self. You're braver than that. You never cry. No matter how hurt you are, you never cry. “It’s just one beam routine, in the millions you’ll do later when you’re in a higher level,” Coach Jasmin consoles me. “That beam routine just happens to be the only one that counts,” I mumble under my breath. A little angel pops up in my head, She’s just trying to help and reassure you, and you're putting her down? Who does that? You should be thanking her. Another, more devilish voice pops up in my head now. It’s her fault. She didn’t coach you good enough, so you fell. Be mad at her. Remember, you still have floor to look forward to, the little devil said sarcastically. The voices argued for a while. The devilish voice took over my brain, and I went on with no guilt. “All level 4s ...

Ceramics 2 Final Blog This blog’s purpose is to reflect on what skills, techniques, life lessons you have learned in this course.  As a teacher, I am looking for growth and dedication to your work. Textile: Woven Clay Bowl Photo: Reflection Techniques used: While making this bowl, I used the weaving technique. This was done by laying down strips and coils in an altering fashion. I also used slipping and scoring to attach the rim of my bowl. The rim was made out of braiding coils and the rose was made by using water to thin out the petals and then blending them together. I also used the sponge off sponge on method to glaze the base of my bowl, as you can see the blue peeking through from the white. Overall, I am really happy with the outcome of my bowl. There were a few roadblocks I hit, like when one of my strips broke, but I think that I was able to recover and make my piece look good. I especially like the glazing! Terms a...
