Help with third grade homework....

[Pete's Mom]

How did I ever pass third grade.

Revise each question to make it a statement.

Were women treated poorly in jails then?

Answer
- Women were treated poorly in jails then.
- Then, women were treated poorly in jails.

Is either one correct?

 

[Sandy51]

How about: Women then were treated poorly in jails.



Sandy

 

[Kermit]

The first one is correct. There isn't anything wrong with the second one, but it would have to follow something since it's sequential. For example:

Women were arrested under false circumstances. Then, women were treated poorly in jails.

 

[ADisneygirl]

First one is right, second one is wrong.

 

[debbiedoo]

First one

 

[Pete's Mom]

He has to put "then" in, correct? It just sound weird to me.

"Women were treated poorly in jails." sounds better.


Here's another one

5 + 3 x 6 = ?

 

[KrnB]

5 + 3 x 6 = ?

If there are no parenthesis (sp?) around any of it, you do the calculations in order. In this case, 5+3=8, 8X6 = 48

If it looked like 5 + (3 x 6) = ?, it would be 5 + 18 = 23

I think.... it's been a few years

So the answer is 23.

Ding ding ding! You are correct! It is tricky though, isn't it? I have told him the wrong answers before you know.

Oh crap! How am I supposed to remember that? I can't even remember where I parked today.

It doesn't matter if there are no parantheses, multiplication always comes before addition. If the addition were in parantheses, then it would come before the multiplication.

 

[Goofy4Disney2828]

wow i am in 6th grade now and i didnt learn to do parenthesis (sp?) and stuff until last year!

 

[Fishbone†]

Yes - multiplication before addition. The answer is 23.

Of course the teacher(forhi) is right!!

 

[EthansMom]

Just wait until Pete is in Calculus!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yes for the multiplication first then addition.


Fun stuff!

I'm just glad I remember. I just started back to work today and the kids don't come back for a week. It's been a while since I've thought about anything educational.

 

[Buckalew11]

I'm just glad I read this thread. I learned something. God help me...

 

[mom2boys]

Pete's supposed to remember it. He has much less brain space taken up by things like where is the car parked & is the milk expired
They will probably beat it to death in class so if he is remotely concious, he'll be fine.
