You’ve tried and solved all the problems from page 26 through 30, right?
I’ve tried and tried to make me sure that you already did what you should do. I wasn’t wrong, right?
Phew! When can I drop these pet peeves and walk directly into what we should do. I’m opening my check list though.

Firstly, I don’t think there are any questions that bother you out of these 128 problems.

Secondly, these questions remind you of the algebraic standard. How? Each of the questions starts with a heading that notes the related career code. Why? Why have the authors categorized and made this job category for each question? Now you’re nodding your head, right?

Thirdly, there are some of the English expressions that can help you show off when you’re with your students in Math class or when you’re with your friends. You have to memorize these if they are new to you. They are here;

1. Write the fractions as decimal numbers.
2. Compare the number pairs and identify the larger number.
3. Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest.
4. Round to the place value indicated.
5. inside diameter/ outside diameter
6. annual bedding plants/ perennial bedding plants
7. spam filter
8. micrometer
9. Aluminum sheeting
10 response time
11 parallel circuit
12 residential lot
13 investment portfolio
14 Estimate the sum by rounding to hundreds.
15 nails; common, siding, floor brads, roofing, finish
16 ream of paper
17 copper tubing
18 limit dimension
19 stock; round stock, bar stock
20 channel iron
21 revolution of a drill
22 lathe
23 electrolytic capacitor
24 cotton bale

Don’t just memorize these expressions.
Just get used to them while you’re working on the problems here.

Bye for now,

Ernest
