Last post.

Oh, my titles are so creative.

How does writing/blogging about math help me?

Yeah, okay.

It doesn't.

For those who even read my Math Mondays blog know what I mean. My posts here hardly make any sense, I'm usually off topic, because, while I may find math utterly fascinating, writing about it is utterly not. And when something is boring, I don't learn. Plus, writing is a different side of me, where I can let myself go and be bubbly and cheery and half-funny and weird, but mixing it with Math? No-just-

No.

You mix writing with Math, and I'm confused, mixed up, a map without a compass. Math is serious, it's facts, it's Science. Serious and fun don't mix. So, I'm sorry to say, but the whole Math Mondays thing didn't work out; it was just an excuse for me to write unnecessary things and avoid work and fail. In fact, it's okay if I get a F in blogging, because I don't do much real, serious work in Math Mondays or Science Solutions, anyways.
So, anyways, it's the last seventh grade Math Mondays blog. As much as I despise it, I'm going to miss blogging and stuff, because over the summer my brain will fry, probably at CTY, and my writing is already turning serious and mature when I do stories----this is probably the end of interjections, opinions, and random things.

Adios. Zaijian. Goodbye.

So, the hardest problems in Math.

Well that could mean anything.

Is it a standard?

A unit?

The thing I struggled with in Algebra was 'x'.

Yes, I know, I really do know that Algebra is, in fact, 100% x. But doesn't this tell you something?

Algebra is hard for me.

There. I said it. And I won't say it again. I can grasp these concepts, but they're so complicated, I forget when to flip the sign, when to change it to a negative, do you multply or add, and all these simple little things. It's hard, okay? I'm not a person who can easily just pay attention. I can't sit there and have someone write something on the board and show it to me, I can't just listen. I have to be doing the problem, while hearing an explanation, and seeing someone do it.
 
We get to discuss my two favorite subjects. Yay!
So how are science and math related? Well, for one, science is math. Like in Chemistry, say you have to measure how much Nitrogen to put in the Helium (I don't think Nitrogen and Helium would be a good mix....this is just and example!), measuring is math. Or, you have to do the mixture problems, where you want a certain amount of 2% Nitrogen and 8% Nitrogen to get a mixture of both in 3% Nitrogen.
It's weird. I can't think of any examples on how you use science in math, though. Maybe you do the math to see when the rocket would hit the ground, and then you actually shoot the rocket? That's expirimenting. Then you make a graph and compare the two,

2x-7=15
So, we're supposed to explain how to follow that.....but I'm not sure what was meant, so let's just solve this.
1) Get the x by itself. Add seven.
2x=22
2) Single out x. Divide by two.
x=11

Was that what we were supposed to do? I dunno. This is a really bad post today, I'm sorry. I went to bed around 11:38, and my sleep has been adjusting itself back to 8.5 hours of sleep, so it kind of affected me that I only got 6 hours 21 minutes. I just have a huge headache and I want a sandwich. On top of it all, I lost my phone somwhere between second period and seventh period. And I forgot my p.e. clothes.
 
Okay, this one is a teensy bit trickier. 
What I do, to turn a decimal into a fraction, is multiply.
Okay, I actually don't know what I do, but since where switching things around, might as well do the inverse of what I do, right?
So, say we have .5 . What I do, is multiply 5 by 2. That makes ten, and boom, you have a whole number.
........but not a fraction. Gah. I don't  like decimals much, though. I don't use them. I use fractions.....
....so I should know how to do it. 
Well, I guess there is no method, really. All I can think of is what I already know, which would be no help to someone else since they don't know what  I know. Well, they might, but we don't share brains. It depends on the person, their comfort zone, and how far they'd be willing to reach out.
I'm 
 
So how do you turn a fraction to a decimal?
Well, I don't really know if this is a good enough prompt to cover an entire blog post. I mean, in simple manners, it's only three sentences. I mean, it's fourth grade math! Even a third grader would underst

Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Why do I prefer this method? Because it's easy. It's simple, and you could do it in one quick move on a calculator.


See? That's it. So why is it a full blog post??? I haven't really anything to say now. Gah, I'm just in a bad mood today. I fell off my bed, and my mom and my stepdad were arguing ALL night, I couldn't sleep. Ugh. I'm sorry!!! Everybody else is typing away, and I'm just here going la la la thinking about stupid things that don't matter in life.

Apparently I own a restaurant.

I need to order food for the supply and stalk (or is it stock?) of my restauraunt. 

Well, to do this math, I'd probably use a ratio. If I want to order a certain amount, first, I need a price. I'm a really cheap person, but I expect great quality too.
Well, I'm not cheap, I just don't like giving people money.
Anyways, I'd use a ratio because then you could find the unit of rate and so on. By unit of rate, I mean the price per case. Or, you could find out how many in a case.

Let's use eggs as an example. There are 144 eggs in the case. There are 12 cartons full of eggs, all 144 of them distributed evenly. You can do a ratio and divide 144 by twelve so you learn there are 12 dozen.

Make sense?????????
 
It's been a while since I've used pi. I don't think I remember the formulas. but I'll give it a go.
Circle:
Radius: 3 feet
Diameter: 6 feet

Area:
I think the formula is  πr^2

Circumference:
2πr

The area for the circle would be: 28.27
Circumference 
 
Before I begin (though, basically, that was my own signal for "Let's begin"), I did not spell the word "pie" wrong. In fact, I'm not even talking about pie.
Mmm....pie.
Hush, Brain.
What I mean is Pi, the mathematical term. 3.14. Three point one four, or in correct terms, three and fourteen hundreths. (But who says that anymore?)
Pi is an irrational number. It goes on forever and ever, (that's right, Pi is longer than the number of milliseconds you have lived up to this very millisecond) never stopping. In fact, people have competed to see who could memorize the most numbers of pi. I think the most is about two-hundred ninety eigth, but don't quote me on that.
Do you know what symbol is used for pi? I don't exactly know how to get it on the computer, but it's something like this:
