Decimals and fractions
Construction: an a-frame cabin has a triangular front with a base of 30 ft and a height of 20 ft. If the front is to be glass that cost $3 per square foot, what will the glass cost?
The distance from Philadelphia to Sea Isle City is 100 mi. A car was driven this distance using tires with a radius of 14 in. How many revolutions of each tire occurred on the trip?
Statistics: The following table gives the free throws attempted (FTA) and the free throws made (FTM) for the top five players in the NBA for a recent season. Calculate the free throw percentage for each player by writing the FTM over the FTA and converting this fraction to a decimal
Player FTM FTA
Allan Houston 363 395
Ray Allen 316 345
Steve Nash 308 339
Troy Hudson 208 231
Reggie Miller 207 230

area = (1/2) base * height
cost = 3 times area
1 revolution = 2 pi r = 6.28 * 14 = 87.9 in
100 mi (5280 ft/mile)(12 in/ft) =6,336,000 in
so
6,336,000 in ( 1 rev/87.9 in) =72,082 rev
100 *(number made / total number of attempts)
