IM 7.5.11 Lesson: Dividing Rational Numbers
Consider the equation: [math]-27x=-35[/math][br][br]Without computing: Is the [b]solution[/b] to this equation positive or negative?
Are either of these two numbers solutions to the equation?
Find the missing values in the equations and rewrite the unknown factor problems as division problems.
[math]-3\cdot4=?[/math]
[math]-3\cdot?=12[/math]
[math]3\cdot?=12[/math]
[math]?\cdot-4=12[/math]
[math]?\cdot4=-12[/math]
Complete the sentences. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
The sign of a positive number divided by a positive number is always:
The sign of a positive number divided by a negative number is always:
The sign of a negative number divided by a positive number is always:
The sign of a negative number divided by a negative number is always:
[size=150]Han and Clare walk towards each other at a constant rate, meet up, and then continue past each other in opposite directions. We will call the position where they meet up 0 feet and the time when they meet up 0 seconds.[/size][list][*] Han's velocity is 4 feet per second.[br][/*][*] Clare's velocity is -5 feet per second.[/*][/list][br]Where is each person 10 seconds before they meet up?
When is each person at the position -10 feet from the meeting place?[br]
It is possible to make a new number system using [i]only[/i] the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3. We will write the symbols for multiplying in this system like this: [math]1\otimes2=2[/math][br][br]In this system, [math]1\otimes3=3[/math] and [math]2\otimes3=2[/math]. How can you see that in the table below?
What do you think [math]2\otimes1[/math] is?
What about [math]3\otimes3[/math]?
What do you think the solution to [math]3\otimes n=2[/math] is?
What about [math]2\otimes n=3[/math]?
A water well drilling rig has dug to a height of -60 feet after one full day of continuous use.
Assuming the rig drilled at a constant rate, what was the height of the drill after 15 hours?
If the rig has been running constantly and is currently at a height of -147.5 feet, for how long has the rig been running?
Use the coordinate grid to show the drill’s progress.
At this rate, how many hours will it take until the drill reaches -250 feet?

Find the quotients:
[math]24\div-6[/math]
[math]-15\div0.3[/math]
[math]-4\div-20[/math]
Find the quotients:
[math]\frac{2}{5}\div\frac{3}{4}[/math]
[math]\frac{9}{4}\div\frac{-3}{4}[/math]
[math]\frac{-5}{7}\div\frac{-1}{3}[/math]
[math]\frac{-5}{3}\div\frac{1}{6}[/math]
Is the solution positive or negative?
[math]2\cdot x=6[/math]
[math]-2\cdot x=6.1[/math]
[math]2.9\cdot x=-6.04[/math]
[math]-2.473\cdot x=-6.859[/math]
Find the solution mentally.
[math]3\cdot-4=a[/math]
[math]b\cdot\left(-3\right)=-12[/math]
[math]-12\cdot c=12[/math]
[math]d\cdot24=-12[/math]
[size=150]In order to make a specific shade of green paint, a painter mixes 1[math]\frac{1}{2}[/math] quarts of blue paint, 2 cups of green paint, and [math]\frac{1}{2}[/math] gallon of white paint. How much of each color is needed to make 100 cups of this shade of green paint?[/size]
Here is a list of the highest and lowest elevation on each continent.
Which continent has the largest difference in elevation?
Make a display (dot plot, box plot, or histogram) of the data set.
Which continent has the smallest difference in elevation?
Explain why you chose that type of display to represent this data set.
