You will need to use illustrations and have decorative headings. You will be graded on name, hour, title, neatness, and decorations.</p><p> Open a blank page in Word  Create your cover page  Save as: lastname_coverpage  Save it in the Ketchum folder for the hour you have Math</p><p>Task 1: examine the average life span of several animals (18 pts) Here is a chart that shows the average life span of several common pets. The average human life span (in the United States) is 76 years. What percent of a human life span is each animal’s life span? Round answers to nearest the tenth. Show all work and explain your answer in complete sentences.</p><p>Animal Average life-span % of Human life-span</p><p>Cat/Dog 12 years</p><p>Goat 8 years</p><p>Horse 20 years</p><p>Rabbit 5 years</p><p>Large Parrot 100 years</p><p> Use the percent proportion: is = % of 100</p><p> You must show all of your work on a separate sheet of paper. Label each animal so I know what I am grading. Turn paper sideways for division. Round your answers to the nearest Tenth  Complete the table  Type a complete sentence(s) below that compares the animal with the shortest life span with the animal that has the longest life span:</p><p>May 26, 2005 Name: Hour:</p><p>Task 2: Compare the percent of a cat’s fluid weight with the percent of human’s. (12 pts) The amount of fluid in a cat’s body is about 50% of its weight. In a human, fluids are about 72% of the weight. 1. What is the weight of the fluid in a 12-pound cat? 2. In a 12-pound baby? 3. Write a statement comparing these weights. Show all work and explain your answer in complete sentences.</p><p>Fluid Weight (in pounds)</p><p>Cat</p><p>Baby</p><p> Use the percent proportion: is = % of 100  You must show all of your work on a separate sheet of paper. Label each item so I know what I am grading. Turn paper sideways for division. Round your answers to the nearest Tenth  Complete the table  Type a complete sentence(s) below that compares the amount of fluid the cat with the amount of fluid in the baby.</p><p>May 26, 2005 Name: Hour:</p><p>Task 3: Find the height of a horse in hands. (25 pts) The veterinarian is checking the height of a horse to make sure it is growing properly. 1. As a foal, it was 7 hands tall. Now as a horse, the veterinarian finds that it is 230% of its height as a foal. How many hands tall is the horse? </p><p>2. How tall is the foal and horse in inches? (1 hand = 4 inches)</p><p>3. How tall are you in hands and inches?</p><p>Height (in hands) Height (in inches)</p><p>Foal 7</p><p>Horse You</p><p> Use the percent proportion: is = % of 100  What is 230% of 7?  Convert hands to inches. Set up a proportion to do this. Show all of your work and label clearly. ____ = ____</p><p>May 26, 2005 Name: Hour:</p><p>Task 4: Consider how time is spent by a veterinarian. (30pts) During one week a veterinarian spent  9 hours examining animals  11 hours talking with owners  8 hours traveling to make “barn calls”  9 hours keeping records  6 hours ordering and stocking supplies  5 hours reading journals. </p><p>1. Find the percent of working hours spent on each task. The total working hours = ______ Use the percent proportion: is = % of 100  Round to the nearest whole number</p><p>Examining Talking with Barn calls Records Order/stock Reading animals owners Hours 9 11 8 9 6 5</p><p>% of working hours</p><p>2. Create a circle graph of the information.
