Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope.
To write this type of fraction = 2 + 1/3 - The integer 2 in the expression is the amount of feet of rope that was cut.
Thus to know the number of 1/2 foot pieces produced, let this number be x. Thus, we have 1/2 of x pieces = 2
x/2 = 2; x = 2x2 = 4.
Thus, Sanmi has 4 pieces of 1/2 foot long piece each of rope.
First of all, you want the variable to be isolated, so in order to do that, you divide in both sides. Ten divided by two is five. So f = 5.
2f + 10

2 2
10 divided by 2 = 5

Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.
Answer:
Because they have never had to express one quantity in terms of another. The idea of such a relationship is completely new, as is the vocabulary for expressing such relationships.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Function" is a simple concept that says you can relate two quantities, and you can express that relationship in a number of ways. (ordered pairs, table, graph)
The closest experience most students have with functions is purchasing things at a restaurant or store, where the amount paid is a function of the various quantities ordered and the tax. Most students have never added or checked a bill by hand, so the final price is "magic", determined solely by the electronic cash register. The relationship between item prices and final price is completely lost. Hence the one really great opportunity to consider functions is lost.
Students rarely play board games or counting games (Monopoly, jump rope, jacks, hide&seek) that would give familiarity with number relationships. They likely have little or no experience with the business of running a lemonade stand or making and selling items. Without these experiences, they are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to applying math to their world.
