You guys have done great work on simplifying.. Today with our “Reduce it Game,” I am not sure how well some of you did??? Either way we will spend a few more days on simplifying then we move into Multiplying Fractions which I think is sooooooooooo easy to do.. no doubt you will too!

REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!! the blog question is worth 20 points per week...


BLOG QUESTION FOR FOUNDATIONS B:



Did you know that every week the Garbage dept in San Francicso picks up at least 375 unwanted mattresses that people through out in the street or ask to have picked up? Well I didnt believe it either until I saw it on Dirty Jobs... and we all know that Mike Rowe tells the truth!                         

So to help Mike and the mattress collectors of San Francisco, the Hulk tagged along to pick up mattresses. If Mike Row can load 10 mattresses into a truck in 1 hour and the Hulk can load and pick up the truck with 100 mattress in an 25 minutes how long will it take Mike to load up all 375 mattresses? And how long will it take the Hulk to pick up all 375 mattresses?
