A linear relationship |
2016-10-16 |
|
From Bianca:
x represents the number of hours since 8am. y represents the number of children the school nurse has seen during the school day. The nurse has seen 3 children by 8am and 27 children by noon.
How many children has the nurse seen at 2pm?
If the nurse has seen 18 children, what time is it?

Archimedes, Euclid and "Circular Reasoning" |
2015-11-15 |
|
From Ron:
I have read about Archimedes and his work with sphere in cylinder and cone in cylinder and the volume relationships. Did he or any others also extend this to regular based polygon based regular like pillars, and columns? The ratio of 1/3 to 1 whole holds true with all regular based columns as example: a regular pyramid having a regular hexagon base inside a regular hexagon column of equal height.

Percent as a fractional relationship |
2013-01-14 |
|
From Kenneth:
What does the following indicate?
"A percent is another way of expressing the ratio or fractional relationship
of two numbers."
I know what a ratio is, but the term "fractional relationship" confuses me.
I thank you for your reply.

I think it's a linear relation but don't know the equation that goes with it.
