GPS: M6N1--Fraction/decimal/percent operations
WotD: tax
HW: Enjoy your vacation!!
Today we will take a unit test covering the past three weeks' material.
Brain juice--Here is a very typical proportion problem like we will be working on in the near future--We want to measure the height of the flagpole in front of KRMS, but we don't want to climb up the pole. We know that it casts a shadow that is 8 feet long. We also know that at the same time, Briana, who is 50 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 20 inches long. How tall is the flagpole?
