No Takers?
I was disappointed that no one tried the "Speeding Ticket" problem. I am going to leave it up for one more week. I will give a free-homework pass to any student that gets it correct and explains HOW.
Good Luck!

Speeding Ticket
The fine for a speeding ticket is $45.45 + M. (M = the # of miles you were over the speed limit.)
1. Mr. Tanner was stopped for going 38mph in a 25mph school zone. How much as his ticket?
2. Mrs. Bird was fined $52.45 for speeding in a school zone. How fast was she going?

Taking A Break
There will be no problem to solve this week. We are beginning a new chapter and I want to build some fundamental skills before I post a problem involving our new material. Look for a new problem next week!

Puzzle Pieces
This week's problem is a real challenge. You will have to find the area of each piece and put them together to get the total area. This is a hard problem, so I will give a Homework pass to anyone that gets it correct. Remember to tell me how you got your answers. If you want to just post your answers, I will accept a written copy of your work to make life easier.
Good Luck!
