Here are the answers to my questions:__

__**Mean, Median, Mode**__

Find the mean, median, and mode. ---__mean__ -first put in numerical order. 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8. -3+3+4+5+7+8 = 30 / 6 5. **5 is the mean.**
 * Question: 8, 4, 3, 3, 5, 7.**

---__median__ -first put in numerical order. 3, 3, **4**, **5**, 7, 8. -4 and 5 are in the middle -4+5 = 9, 9/2 4.5. **4.5 is the mean.**

---__mode__ -**3**, **3**, 4, 5, 7, 8. -since **3** appears the most, it is the **mode**.


 * __Square Roots -__**

Find the square root of the following:**
 * Question:

a)14

--two nearest perfect squares, 3 x 3=9, 4 x 4=16 --**3** = **whole number** --16-9=**7**, **denominator** --14-9=**5,** **numerator** --__**3 5/7**__.

b)23

--two nearest perfect squares, 4x4=16, 5x5=25 --**4** = **whole number** --25-16=**9**, **denominator** --23-16=**7**, **numerator** --__**4 7/9**__

__**Percent:**__

25% off the original price? Why or why not?**
 * Question:**
 * Is taking 15% off a given item and then an additional 10% off the reduced price the same as taking

__--first part: 15% off then -10%__ --lets say something costs $100 --100/100x15=15 --100-15=85 --85/100=8.5 --85-8.5=**76.5**

__--second part: 25% off__ --100/100x25=25 --100-25=**75**

76.5>75

They are different because in part one, you don't find the same percent anymore, because you find the percent of another number, rather than just 100%. Taking 25% off will take off more.

__**Ratio/Proportion -**__

Solve using both a ratio table and fractions.**
 * __Question:__ If 2 rubber balls cost $1.50, how much would 5 balls cost?

Ratio Table:

--So first i find 2's unit value. (2 / 2=1, $1.50 / 2 $0.75)

--Then I multiply that by 5. (1 x 5=5, $0.75 x 5 $3.75) --So 5 balls would cost $ 3.75.

Fractions are exactly same as ratio tables, only sideways.
