A single ride on the Super Looper lasts 10 min and can take 8 people at a time. A single ride on the Jet Coaster lasts 8 min and can take 12 people.

While grading student papers, I noticed that while computing the product of 4.5 and 1.2, this student carefully lined up the decimals and then multiplied, bringing the decimal point straight down and reporting a product of 54.0.

Is this solution correct or incorrect? Defend your choice either way with a DETAILED explanation as to why this student was correct or incorrect in solving this math problem!

### Absolute Value…Hint, Hint!

September28

On the number line below, the numbers m and n are the same distance from 0. Which of the following equations is correct:

m + n = 0
m – n = 0
m = n
m/n = 1

### Prove it!

September21

If x<y, which of the following best describes the values of:

$\dpi{120}&space;\frac{x+3}{y+3}$

1. It is always greater than 1
2. It is always less than 1
3. It is always 1
4. It varies depending on the values of x and y

DON’T JUST PICK AN ANSWER!!! You need 3 examples of your own. Pick examples for x and y (they must be different because the variables are different), plug them in and see what happens.

HINT: The values you pick can be whole numbers, mixed numbers, integers, fractions, a mix, ect…
