00:06:25 `q002. Note that there are 10 questions in this assignment. The questions are of increasing difficulty--the first questions are fairly easy but later questions are very tricky. The main purposes of these exercises are to refine your thinking about rates, and to see how you process challenging information. Continue as far as you can until you are completely lost. Students who are prepared for the highest-level math courses might not ever get lost. If you make $50 in 5 hr, then at what rate are you earning money?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> k confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:06:51 The rate at which you are earning money is the number of dollars per hour you are earning. You are earning money at the rate of 50 dollars / (5 hours) = 10 dollars / hour. It is very likely that you immediately came up with the $10 / hour because almosteveryone is familiar with the concept of the pay rate, the number of dollars per hour. Note carefully that the pay rate is found by dividing the quantity earned by the time required to earn it. Time rates in general are found by dividing an accumulated quantity by the time required to accumulate it. You need to make note of anything in the given solution that you didn't understand when you solved the problem. If new ideas have been introduced in the solution, you need to note them. If you notice an error in your own thinking then you need to note that. In your own words, explain anything you didn't already understand and save your response as Notes.

00:08:47 `q003.If you make $60,000 per year then how much do you make per month?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 60000.00 per year 12 months in a year so 60000/12=5000.00 which means I make $5,000.00 a month (thats a good job) confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:09:26 Most people will very quickly see that we need to divide $60,000 by 12 months, giving us 60,000 dollars / (12 months) = 5000 dollars / month. Note that again we have found a time rate, dividing the accumulated quantity by the time required to accumulate it. You need to make note of anything in the given solution that you didn't understand when you solved the problem. If new ideas have been introduced in the solution, you need to note them.

00:12:48 `q004. Suppose that the $60,000 is made in a year by a small business. Would be more appropriate to say that the business makes $5000 per month, or that the business makes an average of $5000 per month?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Now thats a tough question its a hypothetical speaking in terms of math the business made 60,000 so that IS $5,000 a month but if you are speakin in terms of projecting how a business is doing comparing it to others than speaking in terms of an average would be sufficeint of course noting this company did not go out of business the first year. Im going to say that the answer is it makes $5,000 a month confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:13:34 Small businesses do not usually make the same amount of money every month. The amount made depends on the demand for the services or commodities provided by the business, and there are often seasonal fluctuations in addition to other market fluctuations. It is almost certain that a small business making $60,000 per year will make more than $5000 in some months and less than $5000 in others. Therefore it is much more appropriate to say that the business makes and average of $5000 per month. You need to make note of anything in the given solution that you didn't understand when you solved the problem. If new ideas have been introduced in the solution, you need to note them. If you notice an error in your own thinking then you need to note that. In your own words, explain anything you didn't already understand and save your response as Notes.

00:16:15 `q005. If you travel 300 miles in 6 hours, at what average rate are you covering distance, and why do we say average rate instead of just plain rate?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 300miles/6hours this would be 50 miles per hour. we say average because with the fluctuation of terrain and traffic and speed limits and weather and any other variant we could throw in there it will change the speed at which the vehicle moves. sometimes driving faster sometimes slower. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:16:57 The average rate is 50 miles per hour, or 50 miles / hour. This is obtained by dividing the accumulated quantity, the 300 miles, by the time required to accumulate it, obtaining ave rate = 300 miles / ( 6 hours) = 50 miles / hour. Note that the rate at which distance is covered is called speed. The car has an average speed of 50 miles/hour. We say 'average rate' in this case because it is almost certain that slight changes in pressure on the accelerator, traffic conditions and other factors ensure that the speed will sometimes be greater than 50 miles/hour and sometimes less than 50 miles/hour; the 50 miles/hour we obtain from the given information is clearly and overall average of the velocities.

00:18:43 `q006. If you use 60 gallons of gasoline on a 1200 mile trip, then at what average rate are you using gasoline, with respect to miles traveled?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> thats 1200miles / 60gallons which leaves us approximately 20 miles per gallon. its an average again because of terrain speed traffic, ect. You use more gas in some circumstances and less in others (drafting). confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:20:11 The rate of change of one quantity with respect to another is the change in the first quantity, divided by the change in the second. As in previous examples, we found the rate at which money was made with respect to time by dividing the amount of money made by the time required to make it. By analogy, the rate at which we use fuel with respect to miles traveled is the change in the amount of fuel divided by the number of miles traveled. In this case we use 60 gallons of fuel in 1200 miles, so the average rate it 60 gal / (1200 miles) = .05 gallons / mile. Note that this question didn't ask for miles per gallon. Miles per gallon is an appropriate and common calculation, but it measures the rate at which miles are covered with respect to the amount of fuel used. Be sure you see the difference. Note that in this problem we again have here an example of a rate, but unlike previous instances this rate is not calculated with respect to time. This rate is calculated with respect to the amount of fuel used. We divide the accumulated quantity, in this case miles, by the amount of fuel required to cover those miles. Note that again we call the result of this problem an average rate because there are always at least subtle differences in driving conditions that require the use of more fuel on some miles than on others. It's very important to understand the phrase 'with respect to'. Whether the calculation makes sense or not, it is defined by the order of the terms. In this case gallons / mile tells you how many gallons you are burning, on the average, per mile. This concept is not as familiar as miles / gallon, but except for familiarity it's technically no more difficult.

00:22:21 `q007. The word 'average' generally connotes something like adding two quantities and dividing by 2, or adding several quantities and dividing by the number of quantities we added. Why is it that we are calculating average rates but we aren't adding anything?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Because we arent counting we are connotating. Its like verbs and adjectives. average items are like adjectives they are cummulative. verbs are like rates they are the actions used by the adjectives. confidence assessment: 1
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:22:46 The word 'average' in the context of the dollars / month, miles / gallon types of questions we have been answering was used because we expect that in different months different amounts were earned, or that over different parts of the trip the gas mileage might have varied, but that if we knew all the individual quantities (e.g., the dollars earned each month, the number of gallons used with each mile) and averaged them in the usual manner, we would get the .05 gallons / mile, or the $5000 / month. In a sense we have already added up all the dollars earned in each month, or the miles traveled on each gallon, and we have obtained the total $60,000 or 1200 miles. Thus when we divide by the number of months or the number of gallons, we are in fact calculating an average rate.

00:28:19 `q008. In a study of how lifting strength is influenced by various ways of training, a study group was divided into 2 subgroups of equally matched individuals. The first group did 10 pushups per day for a year and the second group did 50 pushups per day for year. At the end of the year to lifting strength of the first group averaged 147 pounds, while that of the second group averaged 162 pounds. At what average rate did lifting strength increase per daily pushup?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok lets see if i can decipher this GROUP 1 10 pushups * 365 days/yr = 147 lbs 10/365= .03lbs per day GROUP 2 50 pushups * 365 days/yr = 162 lbs. 50/365= .14lbs per day This shows us that on an average of .11 pounds per day the second group surpassed the first group. confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:29:33 The second group had 15 pounds more lifting strength as a result of doing 40 more daily pushups than the first. The desired rate is therefore 15 pounds / 40 pushups = .375 pounds / pushup.

00:35:18 `q009. In another part of the study, participants all did 30 pushups per day, but one group did pushups with a 10-pound weight on their shoulders while the other used a 30-pound weight. At the end of the study, the first group had an average lifting strength of 171 pounds, while the second had an average lifting strength of 188 pounds. At what average rate did lifting strength increase with respect to the added shoulder weight?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> so the first group is lifting 10 lbs = 171 lbs the second is lifting 30 lbs = 188 lbs at 30 pushups that is a differnce of 17 end result lbs. increased by adding 20 lbs. so maybe 20/17 so thats an average increase at a rate of 1.18 lbs. maybe confidence assessment: 1
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:37:00 The difference in lifting strength was 17 pounds, as a result of a 20 pound difference in added weight. The average rate at which strength increases with respect added weight would therefore be 17 lifting pounds / (20 added pounds) = .85 lifting pounds / added pound. The strength advantage was .85 lifting pounds per pound of added weight, on the average.

00:43:35 `q010. During a race, a runner passes the 100-meter mark 12 seconds after the start and the 200-meter mark 22 seconds after the start. At what average rate was the runner covering distance between those two positions?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok 100-200=100 meters covered. meaning it took 12 seconds to cover the first 100 and 22 seconds to get from the start line to the second 100 meters. that means we have traveld 200 meters in 22 seconds. which either means we are traveling at an average of 9.09 secs per 100 meters or .09 sec/meter or we are going to look at the fact it took 12 sec to go 100 mters and an additional 10 secs to cover the last 100 meters which would mean 10+12=22/2=11 thats an average of 11 sec per 100 meter meaning .11 sec on average per meter. maybe confidence assessment: 0
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
00:46:02 The runner traveled 100 meters between the two positions, and required 10 seconds to do so. The average rate at which the runner was covering distance was therefore 100 meters / (10 seconds) = 10 meters / second. Again this is an average rate; at different positions in his stride the runner would clearly be traveling at slightly different speeds.

01:01:53 `q011. During a race, a runner passes the 100-meter mark moving at 10 meters / second, and the 200-meter mark moving at 9 meters / second. What is your best estimate of how long it takes the runner to cover the 100 meter distance?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok so thats what i soved before 100/10=10 so there are 10 10meter sections in 100 meters so thats 10/100=.1meter/sec then we slow down and find our selves traveling 9 meters/sec for 100 meters so thats 9/100=.09meters/sec ok i have no idea where to go with this so im going to speculate and then see the answer. IM guessing there are 10 10 meter sections in one 100 meter section which means 10/100=.1 and there are .09 9 meter section in the second 100 meter section so thats 9*.09=.81 so thats 8 secs then 10*.1=1 sec which would make no sense but 10*10 = 100 which also makes no sense. im lost confidence assessment: 0

01:04:49 At 10 meters/sec, the runner would require 10 seconds to travel 100 meters. However the runner seems to be slowing, and will therefore require more than 10 seconds to travel the 100 meters. We don't know what the runner's average speed is, we only know that it goes from 10 m/s to 9 m/s. The simplest estimate we could make would be that the average speed is the average of 10 m/s and 9 m/s, or (10 m/s + 9 m/s ) / 2 = 9.5 m/s. Taking this approximation as the average rate, the time required to travel 100 meters will be (100 meters) / (9.5 m/s) = 10.5 sec, approx.. Note that simply averaging the 10 m/s and the 9 m/s might not be the best way to approximate the average rate--for example we if we knew enough about the situation we might expect that this runner would maintain the 10 m/s for most of the remaining 100 meters, and simply tire during the last few seconds. However we were not given this information, and we don't add extraneous assumptions without good cause. So the approximation we used here is pretty close to the best we can do with the given information.

01:05:11 `q012. We just averaged two quantities, adding them in dividing by 2, to find an average rate. We didn't do that before. Why we do it now?

01:06:11 In previous examples the quantities weren't rates. We were given the amount of change of some accumulating quantity, and the change in time or in some other quantity on which the first was dependent (e.g., dollars and months, miles and gallons). Here we are given 2 rates, 10 m/s and 9 m/s, in a situation where we need an average rate in order to answer a question. Within this context, averaging the 2 rates was an appropriate tactic.
