Question: Stuck on a math worksheet?? Help!?

I have a math problem that I don’t get. Can you help me? Here is the problem:

The size of letters in printed material such as newspapers or books is measured in points. One point equals 1/72 of an inch.

1. What is the point size of the type that is 1/8 of an inch high?
2. What is the point size of the type that is 1 1/2 inches high?

Please please please help me with this. I have been trying to figure it out and it is really hard. Thanks.

Answer: 1/8=9/72 so it is 9 points
you have to find common denominators.

try the other one. it’s a bit harder, you just have to make the fractions have the same denominator.

Question: Can someone help me create fun math games out of the following situation?

Ok here’s what I’m working with.I have 4 7th graders tutoring them in math.They have math workbooks.We use a teacher’s classroom after school and are not allowed to use any of the teacher’s things except the chalkboard and her chalk(not the markers).I have been making it fun by turning each activity in the workbook into some sort of game.The next section they will be doing is subtracting. How can I create a game to get them to do these problems.I cannot bring a lot of extra resources in class.I am very limited in resources and is also unable to bring in too many outside items. I do not wont the kids to just sit in desk and work on problems.I also try to switch up how they do the problems like last session they competed against each other by working out the problem on the board.Any other ideas?Please help.

Answer: There’s a game where the last person to take a piece loses. You have 21 paperclips/matchsticks/whatever. When it’s your turn, you can take 1 or 2 or 3 of them.
