Mr. Simmons is building a sandbox for his children. He buys 30 feet of wood for the frame of the sandbox. If he uses all of the wood to build a rectangular sandbox, and one of the sides is 3 YARDS in length, what will the area of the sandbox be in square feet? Remember: 1 yard = 3 feet

If one side is 3 yards, it is 9 feet, so there are 2 sides that are each 9 feet, adding up to 18 feet. This leaves 12 feet of wood left divided among the two leftover sides. Therefore, each of the other two sides is 6 feet. The rectangular sandbox is 9 feet by 6 feet, so the area of 54 square feet.

Data Analysis & Probability

A spinner is divided into equal parts that are labeled A, B, C, D, & E. Tara spins the spinner 100 times. She predicts the number of times the spinner will land on the letter A. About how many times should she predict?

About 20 times. The probability of the spinner landing on A is 1/5, and 1/5 of 100 is 20.

Charlie has a bag of candy. In the bag are 12 pieces of candy. He takes 6 pieces of candy from the bag without looking and finds 2 cherry flavored pieces. Based on those results, what is the probability that Charlie will get a cherry flavored piece if he takes another piece from the bag?

We can use these results to predict that 2 out of every 6 pieces are cherry. This means the probability of picking a cherry is 2/6, which we need to simplify to 1/3.

Some friends were throwing rocks at a can. Each of the 4 friends threw 10 rocks. Jasper hit the can 5 times. Robin hit the can 9 times. Annie hit the can 6 times. Rodrigo hit the can 8 times. Based on these results, if Annie throw another rock, what is the probability she will hit the can?

Annie hit the can 6 out of 10 times. This means the probability of her hitting the can is 6/10, or 3/5.
