My wonderful mom wants to treat our family 2 adults, 2 children to a family vacation. She of course will be coming along, but can’t walk that much (heart condition) and refuses a wheelchair. Any ideas where she can watch the kids having a blast but won’t tire her out? She can’t handle elevation, so Tahoe is out.
Rational expressions, or fractions, as we often hear them called, can
also be called ratios. When you have two ratios equal to one
another, this is called a proportion. Proportions can be used to
solve a number of different types of situations or problems. I
often use proportions in my daily life, for instance, I was just on a
vacation to the Redwoods of California. I can think of three instances
of the top of my head where I used proportions. 1) Modifying my
family’s spaghetti sauce recipe for just two people, 2) calculating the
cost of the gas needed for the road trip, and 3) estimating the amazing
tall Redwood using our height, shadow length and similar
triangles!
1) Consider your everyday activities and think of a situation in which
you have or could use proportions.
2) Pretend that you are explaining this situation to your friend or
spouse. Provide some specific numbers and walk-through the
process of solving the proportion for the unknown quantity. Be
sure to explain why you do each step!
Me and my friends were planning on taking a trip to california in june. But were not sure what city to go to.
We were thinking either las vegas, los angeles, or san fransisco. But those are the only major places we know.
Where should we go?
This is probably quite odd, but I’m googling looking for pictures or advice as to what color sofas to put in a room!? I was hoping to find some pictures that would give me the answer, and am now resorting to finding if I can find someone on a blog that can give me some advice?! I would appreciate if you can direct me to the right place or help me yourself!
We are US expats moving to the Netherlands & having to furnish the house (our stuff is back home in storage!) Fortunately, there is an ikea down the road that makes it affordable & pretty easy. I love this one page in their new catalog, where the couches are gray & chairs are white: http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/categories/departments/living_room/tools/livingroom_rooms_ideas#/20121_lirs09a_01
But the floors in the room are a golden oak with two walls of red brick & a back wall of windows trimmed in redwood stain. It’s the golden oak floors that make me think I need to go brown…in which case there is dark brown, khaki, and of course a natural color (but wouldn’t that get really dirty?!)
Here is a link to the ikea sofa color choices (we can specify a 3 person sofa & then either a 2 person sofa or 2 chairs, so can mix up colors): http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/S29875859/
When I see pictures online, I see black & white on floors like this. Most of the house will be black/white/gray, so one brown room might seem odd? what do you think? Help please!
We have 10 year old twins and we live in Ontario, Canada. We would like to take a vacation to California, so we’re thinking of driving there either this summer or next. The reasons I chose California are because our family is interested in movies/TV and also because it’s a little different than the usual "Florida" trip that everyone around here seems to take. I am just wondering which city we should stay in and which attractions we should check out. Also, any recommendations on good hotels would be helpful too!
These are the places that yahoo says every kids should visit. I have not been to any (I am 25). What is your opinion? no jokes.
Grand Canyon
National Mall (D.C.)
Redwood National park
Ellis Island
Niagara falls
Yellowstone National Park
Colonial Williamsburg
Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve
Independence Hall
Alcatraz Island
I’m doing a review for a test and have the question: A forester, 200 feet from the base of a redwood tree, observes that the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 57 degrees. Estimate the height of the tree.
My answer came out to be the tan(57) = opposite side/200 which comes out to be 200tan(57) = 307.97 ft.
Seems correct but would like to have my work double checked.
Thanks everyone for checking that. It really is appreciated.
Math is not my strongest subject. =P
it looks like some kind of redwood, like a giant wine cask (remember lucy & ethel crushing the grapes on I LOVE LUCY?) it’s hand made possibly from a kit,I noticed a silicone"caulk" type thing between the planks,it’s been sitting for a few seasons gathering leaves and all kinds of bacteria& whatever else, that i need to clean up without affecting the wood. PLEASE HELP! I WANT TO USE MY HOT TUB!!!!
THANKS!!
I had an account with redwood credit union, but every time i needed money i had to go to the bank to get the money. I want a bank that will give me a card with all the money that i have deposited into the account and i can just use it whenever. Im still a teen.
already going to Redwood and Yosemite
