If you scored 21 or lower on your test, you also have this assignment due tomorrow: Pg. 262 #1 - 35 odd. It is optional if you scored a 22 or above, and the answers are here if you would like to check them (and trust me, you would).
1) -0.056
3) -0.074074074074... (repeating .074, which is different from just a repeating .74, and also different from 0.074747474...)
5) 11 17/20 OR 237/20
7) 7/9 (again, another tough one since we haven't really talked about converting a repeating decimal)
9) 1/6
11) 1/15
13) 1 1/4 inches OR 5/4 inches
15) -t/4
17) -76z/175

33) w = 1.6
35) 2 1/2 OR 5/2

Algebra: Graph 3 of those equations from class, and please choose ones from different groups. Label your graphs, and make sure they are beautiful. Or at least moderately attractive.
