10. When water freezes, its volume increases by approximately 10%.
a) By how much does the volume of 750mL of water increase when it freezes?

Math Info
* 10% = 75mL
The volume increases by 75mL when it has an original volume of 750mL.
b) What is the volume of ice created?
Math Info
* 750mL = 100%
* 10% = 75mL
750mL + 75mL = 825mL
The volume is 825mL.
16. Josephine scored 12 baskets out of 30 shots in her first basketball game this year. Her scoring average was then 40%. The next game, she made ten shots and raised her scoring average for both games to 50%. How many of the ten shots in the second game were baskets?

  1. Great job, Ryan !
    I think that next time you should make the question number bigger, so people would know. I really like how you changed the font colours and added pictures for detail. I really understood when you circled the answers in the ratio table. I also like how you put the math info .
