Google Tools

Now let's cheat. Here's Google.

1. Let's multiply: 210 * (821/12 + 7) = 15 837.5

2. Now Google "percent increase".

a. The city's budget increased from $13.2 million to $13.7 million. What was the percent increase?

b. Your pizza budget decreased from $11.25 to $8.95. What was the percent decrease?

3. We can also use Google to convert: "convert 26.2 miles to kilometers"

4. You plan to study abroad in Valencia, Spain. The current temperature is 31 C. What's the temperature in Fahrenheit?

a. Google "convert 31 celsius to Fahrenheit"

5. For your historical re-enactment, you've built a teepee (hey, there was nothing on cable). You want impress the other history buffs so you need to know the area of your teepee. You stand in the middle of the teepee and measure to the edge of the tent. It's 7 feet (that's the radius). What's the area?

a. Google calculate area of a circle (No quotation marks)
area = 153.9380423

You get the picture. Google's a powerful calculator and ridiculously easy.
