\pb \section{Extra problems} \pb \subsection{Quarto publishing} In Quarto publishing, four book pages are printed on each side of the large sheets of paper actually used. One side of a quarto sheet is shown in the illustration. Once the sheets are printed on both sides, they are stacked up, and the stack is folded twice: first from top to bottom on the dashed horizontal line, and then from side to side on the dashed vertical line. The tops of the pages are cut apart. Thus every quarto page produces eight book pages; see the illustration. \vfill 1. How many quarto sheets are needed for a book of 1240 pages? \vfill 2. When the pages of this book are stacked and ready to be folded, what does the top sheet look like? \vfill 3. Draw a picture that shows where on the sheet the page numbers appear, and which are upside down. \vfill 4. What other page numbers on on the same quarto sheet as page 13? \vfill \pagebreak \begin{figure}[h!] \includegraphics[scale=0.7]{figures/quarto} \end{figure} \pb \subsection{A frame-up} I painted a picture that is 4 inches wider than it is high. If I put a 3-inch frame all the way around my picture, the area increases by 48 square inches. What are the dimensions of my picture? \pb \subsection{Four cuts} If you were to take a block of cheese and make a cut all the way through, you would end up with two pieces. If you were then to make another cut without moving either of those pieces, you should be able to do it in such a way that you end up with four pieces. What is the maximum number of pieces you can have after three cuts (remember you can't move any of the pieces)? What about after four cuts? You should be ready to explain how to make the cuts so as to obtain the maximum possible number of pieces. \pb \subsection{Squares and pathways} \bigskip \noindent At home, work on each of the following two problems (Squares and Paths) for half an hour each. Write down how far you get on each, and then choose one of the two to finish solving. \bigskip \begin{figure}[h!] \includegraphics[scale=0.7]{figures/squares} \end{figure} \hfill\parbox[b]{3in}{ \centerline{\Large Squares} \bigskip \noindent 1.

If eight of the children can use already existing (lower) desks without power strips, how many of the new, higher desks need to be fitted with power strips? % \item In a given class of 25 students, there are a total of 11 boys, and a total of 7 left-handed children. If 9 of the boys are right-handed, how many of the girls are right-handed? % %\item In a class of 35 students, 20 have a last name beginning with a %consonant. 25 students have a last name with more than one syllable.

What about the number of students with a multisyllabic last name %that begins with a consonant? % \item For each Venn diagram below, shade the numbered regions indicated, and find a way to express the region in terms of $A$, $B$ and $C$ using unions, intersections, and complements. \end{enumerate} \begin{figure}[h!] \hspace{.5in}\includegraphics[scale=0.55]{figures/setextra4} \end{figure} \pb \subsection{Driving in Septobasiland} \bigskip The king of Septobasiland has proclaimed that the digits 7, 8 and 9 are never to be used in Septobasiland upon pain of death. As a result, the little wheels on the odometers of all the cars in Septobasiland have just the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on them. Thus, if the odometer registers 0006 and you drive one more mile, the odometer will register 0010, and if the odometer registers 0016 and you drive one more mile, it will register 0020. \bigskip \begin{enumerate} \item If the odometer registers 0066 and you drive one more mile, what will the odometer register? \vfill \item If the odometer registers 0325, how many miles has the car gone? \vfill \item How many miles will the car have gone when the odometer turns over to all zeroes again? \vfill \item After a car has gone nine hundred miles, what will its odometer register? \vfill \item You and your companions go on a trip in Septobasiland, traveling together in two cars. The first car, which is new, starts with its odometer reading 0000, and the second starts with the odometer reading 1435. At the end of the trip, the odometer of the first car registers 0324. What will the odometer of the second car register? \vfill \item Suppose again that the odometers of the two cars register 0000 and 1435 at the beginning of the trip. But this time at the end of the trip the odometer of the second car registers 2153. What will the odometer of the first car register? \end{enumerate} \vfill \pb \subsection{What {\em are} they doing?} For each of the following students, try to figure out how they are computing.

Explain what different roles the fractions are playing (use diagrams when appropriate) and what fraction operations are represented in the stories. \bigskip \bigskip \begin{enumerate} \item In your fourth grade class, $\frac13$ of the students voted in the class elections. $\frac25$ of the votes in your class were for Tammy. What proportion of the vote cast were for Tammy? \bigskip \item In the same class, $\frac13$ of the boys get free lunch and on $\frac25$ of the days, the only vegetable in the free lunch is catsup. What proportion of the lunches (at least) have catsup as the vegetable? \bigskip \item In the same class, $\frac13$ of the students have a TI 82 and $\frac25$ of them have a TI 86. Nobody has both, and nobody has any other graphing calculator. What proportion of the class has a graphing calculator? \bigskip \item In your class, $\frac13$ of the students remembered to turn in their field trip permission slips. In the other fourth grade class, $\frac25$ returned theirs.
