Welcome to Pre-AP 7th Grade Math

I just wanted to say Welcome to Mance Park Middle School and to Pre-AP 7th Grade Math.  I hope this year will be your best ever.

I maintain this blog so that I can provide a few extra tutorials or extensions to what we are doing in class.  I also like to post Bonus questions here to offer an opportunity to earn a few extra points through out the six weeks.  So here is your first Bonus question.

Bonus Question of the Week!

Jose uses regular coffee and a mocha blend that is half mocha and half regular coffee. He puts 4 tablespoons of mocha blend and 3 tablespoons of regular in the coffee maker. What is the fraction of regular coffee in Jose's mixture?

This problem is worth 10 Bonus points.  To receive credit you must write the problem on a sheet of notebook paper, solve the problem, which means you have to show your work, you can't just have an answer, highlight or circle your final answer with its correct label, and turn it in by Friday, September 2nd.

Well, good luck with it.

Mr. Nash
