We are talking about factors here, which means multiplication and division. To turn 12 into 4, you must divide by 3. Thus, the distance was reduced by a factor of 3. ...
The term _significant _DOES NOT mean "mathematically important." Certainly, the zero at the end of 350 is mathematically important. However, it is NOT significant. Remember, the term significant figure simply means that the figure was MEASURED. When you write a number as 350, you are telling scientists that the measuri...
No, the All-in-One Student Text and Workbook is a consumable. Each student will need his or her own copy. ...
Most likely, you are not following the proper order of operations as required in arithmetic. In an equation which involves addition (or subtraction) and multiplication (or division), you MUST do the multiplication and division FIRST, then you do the addition and subtraction. For example, in the equation: 2 + 6×3 – 10/...
Absolutely! Each unit in_ Exploring Creation with Mathematics_ begins with a “Seeing Our Creator” section that connects God to the concepts the student will be learning. Math is part of creation and, as such, it mirrors aspects of God’s character; His beauty, faithfulness, and love can all be seen when studying mathema...
The time was not changed. We evaluated the equation. The equation is: distance = (1/2) x (9.8 m/sec2)x(1.2 sec)2 The exponent of “2” at the end of the equation means you must square 1.2 seconds. When you square 1.2 (which means taking 1.2 times itself), you get 1.44. When you square “seconds,” you get seconds squared...
