TYPE OF QUESTION:(answer here e.g.. Math, sciences) math
YOUR QUESTION:so I'm supposed to be turning percentages into angles. (The angles then go into a circle graph)

how do I do this???

Let's say this is your data:
Apples -- 20/50 -- 40%
Oranges -- 10/50 -- 20%
Grapefruit -- 7/50 -- 14%
Peaches -- 13/50 -- 26%
I know, this is lame data I thought of on the spot. Not the point here.~

Turn the percentages into decimals. For example, 40% = 0.40. Then, multiply 0.40 by 360 (total degrees of a circle) to get 144 degrees. That's the angle you need to draw on your graph.

Therefore:
Apples -- 40% -- 0.40 * 360 = 144 degrees.
Oranges -- 20% -- 0.20 * 360 = 72 degrees.
Grapefruit -- 14% -- 0.14 * 360 = 50.4 degrees.
Peaches -- 26% -- 0.26 * 360 = 93.6 degrees.
If you want to add the four degree numbers together, you'll see they add up to 360, which is a full circle.

Hope this helped! Feel free to PM me if you still have trouble.

This helped a lot, thanks!!

I just wanted to add in, when filling out UR circle graph, remember to put the percentage inside each section ALONG with the group name. Do not put the degree. C:

YOUR QUESTION:
Okay, we're doing compound inequalities right now, and I'm not sure how to do this type of question:
"5 + m > 4 or 7m < -35"

If no one knows that's fine, I have RTI with that teacher tomorrow before class. I just wanted to get this done and over with. ^^

So basically what you know is that
5+m>4
Subtract 5 from both sides to get m>-1

You also know that:
7m<-35
Divide both sides by 7 to get m<-5
Will you check your negatives?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for the help though!

TYPE OF QUESTION:Science (physics)
YOUR QUESTION:Ok so I'm a bit confused about parabolas in position-time graphs and how they look in velocity time graphs. We havent started any calculating but I'm still confused. ^^Edit, Is there a difference between half a parabola and a full that will give a different answer when converted to a VT graph? How does the positive and negative velocity work? Could some one please explain?

I've learned more about the math part of parabolas than the science part, but something my math teacher told me is that you can't have half a parabola - you either have a parabola or you don't. If you mean only looking at the positive part of a parabola, you shouldn't get a different answer - it's the same parabola, but you're only looking at one piece of it rather than the whole thing.

This is only an educated guess though, so don't take my word for it.

Ah thank you for the help! I understand that its just showing half and not the negative part of the parabola, but thanks for clearing that up that its the same. Now if I could figure out the physics part...

Glad I could help a little bit c: Hopefully someone out there can help you with the rest!
