We did a thing where we used math to figure out when a contest would end. The contest was “Who will download the 25,000,000,000th app off the app store. On Feb 24th at 6:27, there had been 24,658,507,655 downloads. At 6:28, 24,658,541,892 downloads. At 6:29, 24,658,575,918. At 6:30, 24,658,610,121. I subtracted the four numbers then got the average of the answers.  The average was 34,155 downloads per minute. I then subtracted that from the number of downloads left until 25 billion (341,492,345) and got 9,998. I then divided that by go to get the hours left and got 166 point something or another. I then multiplied 166.0 by 60 to get the left over numbers and got 9,960. I then subtracted 9,960 from 9,998 and got 38. Meaning that there are 166 hours and 38 minutes left until 25 billion. 7 days and 38 minutes. it would end on March 2nd at 7:06.

Yes, i know my mom is not going to be the only one who sees this, but the post is for student led conferences, so she’s gonna be the one to see it. We’ve been working on an lot of different things in math, adding and subtracting integers, combining like terms, and so on. I know how to do the things we’ve done, if you give me a problem i won’t be able to do it right away though. I will need to practice some before i can do it again. I’ve been doing pretty good, progressing well. I start out with literally no clue what i’m doing, then two days later Mr. Oldfield FINALLY gets to me because literally everyone is asking for help.

I’m happy the the B I have in math, but they should count effort. if they counted effort then i would have an A.

To find the square root of 41, I found the two nearest perfect square, which happened to be 36 and 49. The I found what number was in the center of those two numbers. I found that 43 was in the center. I then figured out what number 41 was closest too, 36,43, or 49. It was closest too 43, narrowing the possible square roots too 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4. I decided that 6.4 would be too close too 43 so the answer would have to be 6.3.
