Golf Caddy

Golf caddies are the people who help the golfers carry their clubs and help the golfer pick which club to use. They have to carry around almost a fifty-pound bag for about seven to eight miles on one course. Normal caddies only earn tips from the golfer they’re helping. Professional caddies earns different amounts of money depending on their golfer. Most earn around 10% of what their golfer  makes. Caddies don’t normally get recognized by anyone because they aren’t the one on the cameras. The highest paid golf caddy has earned $442,548 and that was Adam Scott’s caddy. But normal professional caddies earn $1,000 a week. Normal caddies for non professional only get a few dollars from the tips they earn. Caddies help the golfer remember the rules and clean their clubs as well.

25 billion downloads

I had to try to figure out when the 25 billionth app was going to be downloaded. First I figured out how many apps were being downloaded a second which was around 570 a second which equaled  around 34,200 a minute. Then i took how many there where at 6:30 which was around 24,658,610,221 then subtracted that from 25 billion. It gave me 341,389,879 left out of the 25 billion. If you divide that by 34,200 which is the amount of downloads per minute I got 9982 minutes left. That divided by 60 equals 166 hours left. If you divided that number by 24 it gives you 6.9 days. If you take 6.9 days and added it February 24 at 6:30 it would come around March 2nd since that year was a leap year at around 4:30 p.m. I would start downloading at around 4;00 p.m. due to the increase in downloads as it got closer.

Student Led-Conferences

This nine weeks we have learned plenty of things. There has been only one thing I have struggled with out of all of it. I have no trouble at all adding and subtracting and multiplying and dividing negative numbers. Distributive property is a little harder but I didn’t have much trouble. The only thing I have had trouble with is combining like terms using distributive property it took me maybe three days to understand the problems. Now I have no troubles at all with. Evaluating positive and negative exponents is another subject that was easy and I learned it instantly. It is also easy to learn simplifying expressions using exponents. In the class I think I have earned an A because I barely struggle in this class. I have also passed every subject on Khanacadmey to prove it.

First Test

Last week we had our first test. It was about adding and subtracting negative numbers. Also it had multiplying and dividing negative numbers. When subtracting negative numbers you can also do leave change change which is where you change it to adding and change the second number to the opposite of what it was. It wasn’t that difficult if you paid attention and didn’t waste time on Kahnacadmey.
