Ch. 3 Practice Test .... AGAIN!!!!

Warning: You better know how to do problems 13-40 tomorrow. If you don't know how to do a particular question, then post it here. If you know how to do someone else's question, then post a solution. Triple points for posting tonight! Post a question or a solution or suffer triple consequences!

Solving Equations Practice Test

The Solving Equations Practice Test is below. There is a total of 7 pages for you to print out. The page numbers are located in the upper right hand corners. Don't worry that it is labeled Ch. 3 Practice Test. Solving equations used to be Ch. 3 in the old book, but now it's your Ch. 2. No biggie. Just ignore the title.

See if you can do all of these problems within an hour and a half. This is what "game time" (test time) will look like next Thursday so make sure you

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!

If these problems seem difficult to you now during practice, then they will be tough to perform during the "game". That means you have to practice 1000 times harder. If, however, they seem easy to you during practice, then "game" time will be a breeze.

Other than that, have a PG-13 weekend and I will everyone on Tuesday!

Make this blog work for you!

You never know when I'll hand out extra credit!

Thank you, Antonio, for all of your comments on the blog last night. You alone are using the blog the way it was intended to be used. Because of the amount of activity you displayed on the blog last night, I am giving 10 extra credit points toward your grade. Good work! Keep it up!

Algebra 1 Chapter 2 Lesson 2-5 Practice 5

Practice 2-5 Equations and Problem Solving

Write and solve an equation for each situation.

1. A passenger train’s speed is 60 mi/h, and a freight train’s speed is
40 mi/h.The passenger train travels the same distance in 1.5 h less time
than the freight train. How long does each train take to make the trip?

2. Lois rode her bike to visit a friend. She traveled at 10 mi/h.While she
was there, it began to rain. Her friend drove her home in a car traveling
at 25 mi/h. Lois took 1.5 h longer to go to her friend’s than to return
home. How many hours did it take Lois to ride to her friend’s house?

3. May rides her bike the same distance that Leah walks. May rides her
bike 10 km/h faster than Leah walks. If it takes May 1 h and Leah 3 h to
travel that distance, how fast does each travel?

4. The length of a rectangle is 4 in. greater than the width.The perimeter
of the rectangle is 24 in. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

5. The length of a rectangle is twice the width.The perimeter is 48 in. Find
the dimensions of the rectangle.

6. At 10:00 A.M., a car leaves a house at a rate of 60 mi/h. At the same
time, another car leaves the same house at a rate of 50 mi/h in the
opposite direction. At what time will the cars be 330 miles apart?

7. Marla begins walking at 3 mi/h toward the library. Her friend meets
her at the halfway point and drives her the rest of the way to the
library.The distance to the library is 4 miles. How many hours did
Marla walk?

8. Fred begins walking toward John’s house at 3 mi/h. John leaves his
house at the same time and walks toward Fred’s house on the same
path at a rate of 2 mi/h. How long will it be before they meet if the
distance between the houses is 4 miles?

9. A train leaves the station at 6:00 P.M. traveling west at 80 mi/h. On a
parallel track, a second train leaves the station 3 hours later traveling
west at 100 mi/h. At what time will the second train catch up with
the first?

10. It takes 1 hour longer to fly to St. Paul at 200 mi/h than it does to return
at 250 mi/h. How far away is St. Paul?

11. Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 126.

12. The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 216. Find the four integers.

13. A rectangular picture frame is to be 8 in. longer than it is wide. Dennis
uses 84 in. of oak to frame the picture.What is the width of the frame?

14. Each of two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle is 8 in. less than
twice the base.The perimeter of the triangle is 74 in.What is the length
of the base?

FCAT Practice:

A running cheetah's stide is 33 feet. If the cheetah takes 9,600 strides an hour, what is its speed in miles per hour?

Post a question or a solution!

I don't have a book with me at home so I don't know the problem numbers. I do know that I want you to practice the problems that are labeled Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, and Example 5.

Ok.... I've only assigned 8 problems for homework this weekend. You have absolutely NO excuse not to get them done.

Don't know how to do a specific problem? Post your question here.

Does this stuff seem easy to you? Post your solution here.

Have a PG-13 weekend!

Solving Equations with a Variable on Both Sides

1. Download the worksheet.
2. Fold your own paper into 12 boxes.
3. Letter DOWN your paper. Instead of numbering 1, 2, 3, 4 down the left hand side, you will LETTER it E, N, A, H down the left hand side.
4. You will get a number for each problem. Look for that number at the bottom of your worksheet and write the letter of the problem in that box.
5. The answer for the first problem is obviously 3. (Yes, you still have to do the problem!!!)
