Marina pose la question :
I'm helping my grade 5 son in this assignment but I don't know how. There are 2 question I would like you to help me:
1.How can the shapes used to form a larger similar figure using 4 shapes: ( a 3 by 3square is drawn in a 6 by 6 dot figure,drawing attached)
2.You are planning to build a birdhouse measurement is attached,. You are going to cut the pieces from a board that is 12 inches wide. How long should the board be?

The sequence 2,4,7,11,16,22 2007-09-22
Simon pose la question :
I thought i understood how to explain how to work out the nth term on a sequence of numbers until my son had this sequence to work out - 2,4,7,11,16,22
We have worked out the 2nd differance is +1 but nothing else seems to fit. Im sure the answer is staring us in the face but cant see the wood for the trees!

The incline of my yard as it slopes away from my house 2007-09-22
Janet pose la question :
I need to calculate the degree (or is it percent?) of incline of my yard as it slopes away from my house. Do I visualize a right angle formed by a level line from the bottom of the slope to the side of the house, and then compare the line of the slope against the right angle to get the degree? Or is an incline calculated by the measurement of the rise in 100 feet? For instance, if the ground rises 3 feel in a distance of 100 feet, is that a 3% incline? And if it rises 4 feet in a distance of 25 feet, is that a 16% incline? Thanks so much.

Cubes 2007-09-21
Yvonne pose la question :
The numbers 756 and 72, expressed as products of prime factors, are 756 = 2² x 3³ x 7 and 72 = 2³ x 3²

Use these result to find,

the smallest integer, x, such that 756x is a perfect cube.

Working together 2007-09-21
farah pose la question :
A can do a piece of work in 10 days while B can do the same work in 15 days . They work together for 5 days and the rest of the work is done by C in 2 days . If they get 400$ for the whole work , what should be A's share.

Water flowing into a tank 2007-09-21
andrew pose la question :
Hi, I've been having real trouble visualizing this problem as apposed to a conical tank. It says the base of a pyramid-shaped tank is a square with sides of length 12 feet. The vertex of the pyramid is 10 feet above the base. The tank is filled to a depth of 4 feet, water is flowing into the tank at the rate of 2 cubic feet per minute. Find the rate of change of the depth of water in the tank.
