1) How many gallons of gas and what fraction of a full tank of gas did Maria use on the turnpike driving from her house to Lance's house?

First we subtracted 352 by 242 and it was 110.
the 352 is the turnpike in Philadelphia at mile marker.
and the 242 is the mile marker near Lance's house.
then we divided 110 by 33 and it equals 3.33333 gallon.
the 33 is the miles per gallon.
so the fraction is 3.3/15.
the 15 was the gallon gas tank.
and we want to simplify it so here's what we did:
3.3/15 divided by 3.3/3.3= it's 4.5454 so it's approximately 1/5

2) What fraction of a full tank of gas did she use on the turnpike driving to the combined distance from her house to Lance's house to Alicia's house?

352 - 55 = 297 miles
352- turnpike in Philadelphia at mile marker
55 - lance's house to alicia's house at mile marker
297 miles divided by 33= 9 gallons
9/15 is the fraction
15- is the gallon gas tank
we simplify it again:
9 divided by 3=3
15 divided by 3=5
so it's 3/5.

3)How much time will she spend driving on the turnpike when she drives back home to Philadelphia?

1 hour and 40 minutes
1.40 + 1.40 = 2.80

2.80= 3.20

3 hours is 180 minutes + 20 minutes=200 minutes

200 minutes + 70 minutes = 270 minutes

70 minutes= 1 hour and 10 minutes

270 minutes divided by 60=4.5

4.50 minutes

This is a picture of mine and my partner's Pennsylvania Turnpike investigation. Im going to show how i did all the work me and my partner did during our class time. But today during class we found out the number lines were wrong so i made new ones to show my work.

1) How many gallons of gas and what fraction of a full tank of gas did Maria use on the turnpike driving from her house to Lance's house?

For # 1 we just subtracted 352 by 242 to 110 miles. Then we divded 110 by 33 to get 3.3, we didvided by 33 because Maria gets 33 miles per gallon. So 3.3 is the same as 3 and 1/3 so she used 3 and 1/3 of gas to get from her house to Lance's.

2) What fraction of a full tank of gas did she use on the turnpike driving to the combined distance from her house to Lance's house to Alicia's house?

For # 2 we already knew that from Maria's to Lance's is 110 miles so then we did the same thing to # 2 which was subtract the 2 mile markers (55 & 242) to get 297 then we divided 297 by 33 we got 9, so then Maria used 9 gallons to get to Lances to Alicia's so the fraction is 9/15 or 3/5.

3)How much time will she spend driving on the turnpike when she drives back home to Philadelphia?

First, we turned 110 miles into time which was 1 hour and 50 mins.- Then, we subtracted 10 minutes to get 1 hour and 40 mins because we couldn't find another way to get 1 hour and 40 mins.- We did the same thing to 187 miles and we got 3 hours and 7 mins then we subtracted 10 mins and we got 2 hours and 57 mins.- We added it together and we got 4 hours and 37 minutes

Pennsylvania Turnpike Investigation

Sorry but I can't see the picture. :(
I'm going to talk about the "Pennsylvania Turnpike Investigation". I am going to explain how we get the answers.

1. How many gallons of gas and what fraction of a full tank of gas did Maria use on the turnpike driving from her house to Lance's house?
- first we subtract 352 and 242 the answer is 110. 110 is the mile from Maria's to Lance's.
-110 is the same as 3 and 1/3.
-1/3 out of 15 is how much gallons she used on the turnpike to Lance's house.

2. What fraction of a full tank of gas did she use on the turnpike driving to the combined distance from her house to Lance's house to Alicia's house?
- we subtract 287 by 55 and we got 187 then we add 110 and 187 and we got 297 miles.
- then Jenna and I decided to divide it by 33 and the answer is 9.
- it's obvouisly that she used 9 out of 15 gallons to get the distances.

3.How much time will she spend driving on the turnpike when she drives back home to Philadelphia?
- we add 1 hour ( 60 mins.) to 40 minutes the answer is 100.
- then, we divide 242 and 100 and we got 2.42
- we add 242 by 55 the answer is 297 and we divide it by 2.42 and we got 2 hours 2 minnutes and 2 seconds.

This is the picture of my(and my partner's) "Pennsylvania Turnpike Investigation." I'm going to explain what we did to get the answers. I think the number lines are wrong so I'm just going to make new ones to make it more easier to understand.

1) How many gallons of gas and what fraction of a full tank of gas did Maria use on the turnpike driving from her house to Lance's house?

- First, we found out that Maria's to Lance's house was 110 miles.
- 110 miles is also 3 and 1/3. 3 and 1/3 is how much gallons of gas, out of 15, she used to get to Lance's house.

2) What fraction of a full tank of gas did she use on the turnpike driving to the combined distance from her house to Lance's house to Alicia's house?

- We already knew the distance from Maria's to Lance's so we had to figure out the distance to Lance's to Alicia's.
- To get that, we subtracted 242 by 55 and we got 187.
- So we added them together to get 297 miles.
- Then, we did 297 divided by 33 (which is the miles by the miles per gallon) and we got 9.
- She used 9 gallons out of 15 gallons to get to the combined distances.

3)How much time will she spend driving on the turnpike when she drives back home to Philadelphia?

- First, we turned 110 miles into time which was 1 hour and 50 mins.
- Then, we subtracted 10 minutes to get 1 hour and 40 mins because we couldn't find another way to get 1 hour and 40 mins.
- We did the same thing to 187 miles and we got 3 hours and 7 mins then we subtracted 10 mins and we got 2 hours and 57 mins.
- We added it together and we got 4 hours and 37 minutes

This is the scribe list. Please choose a different member of the class to be the scribe for the next day. I will highlight the students who have already scribed. Untill the winter break there will be 2 scribes a day.

A scribe is expected to recount the days lesson for the class to see. Scribes should include detailed notes and images to show the class what happened that day.

If you were sick or absent you could use the scribe as a source of notes to get your assignments done.

Remember that we have a global audience. Show them the excellent work that you are capable of.
