MATH M3 Discussion 2: Exploration Discussion

DETAILS: In this discussion, you will explore where you have used different measurement systems in your everyday life. Outcomes Round numbers off correctly depending on the accuracy or precision required Convert within and between U.S. units and metric units Use dimensional analysis in problem solving Identify Significant Digits Represent a situation using a signed number Convert to and from scientific notation Multiply, divide, and find powers of number in scientific notation Instructions Within the Module 3 Exploration, after reading through the Exploration tabs, and checking your knowledge in the Check Understanding tab, click on the Discuss! tab. Your post should state your questions and/or goals clearly, analyze the topic with well thought out explanations, and draw reasonable conclusions. You will also post at least two substantive reply posts in your chosen application area or another, to discuss and expand on other students' ideas. Instructions for Exploration Discussion Posts Create a thread that answers the question(s) posed in the Discussion Topic to the best of your ability. Provide as much detail as possible.

Options Cost of new floors – Measure the dimensions of a room where you live (you may pick a square or rectangular room for simplicity). Find the area of the floor accurate to the nearest 1/16 of an inch. If flooring costs $25 per square meter, how much will the flooring cost for your room? Show all steps in solving your problem. ‘Inserting’ a photo of the room or your measuring would be a wonderful addition. Converting Units. Find a situation in your life where you have needed to convert units (or one that you might encounter in your future). Describe the situation in detail. Include an example using actual numbers to demonstrate your situation. Show all the steps in solving your example. ‘Inserting’ a photo of the situation would be a wonderful addition. Scientific Notation. Find a situation in your life where you use (or could have used) scientific notation. Describe the situation in detail. Include an example using actual numbers to demonstrate your situation. In your example, include multiplication or division using scientific notation. Show all the steps in solving your example. ‘Inserting’ a photo of the situation would be a wonderful addition. PLEASE DO IT AND THEN I WILL PAY YOU. I WILL ONLY PAY AFTER YOU DO IT.
