7 x7 Seven Subjects & 7 things I learned Day 86 & 87 Jan. 28, 29, 2013
1. Math
a. I learned another translation from
English to Math = what, how much is x or y ect. The “nickname” for a number
whose value is unknown… a variable.
b. So you Can take a word problem like,
“What is 3% of 30?” and you can translate the whole thing! What is y, is equals
=, and of = x! So the word problem transforms into this math problem. Y = 3% x
30.
c. The answer to this question is 0.03 x 30
= 0.9!
d. 3 times what equals 12? 3 x y = 12.
Answer: y = 4
e. Kelly bought 3 identical dresses. They
all cost the same amount; let’s call the price of each dress d. While Kelly was shopping, she also
bought a ring that cost 20$. In terms of d
how much did Kelly spend? (Assume that there’s no tax.)
f. If she spent a total of $110 how much
would each dress cost?
g. The total that Kelly spent in terms of d, is 3d + 20. 110 = 3d + 20. 30 = d So
if the total was 110$, she spent 30$ on each dress. 30 = d
2. Science
a. Newton wrote a book called De analysis,
(Of Analysis.)
b. In 1669 Newton became a professor of
mathematics at Trinity College.
c. I learned that a ray of light follows
this simple rule: The angle of incidence (Incoming light) and the angle of
