Apple held a competition where the person who downloaded the 25 billionth app would receive a 10,000 dollar gift card. Our goal was to figure out when we should start downloading to win. We started at Friday February 24, 6:27 pm. It was currently at 24,658,507,655 downloads. I measured how many downloads per minute, between 6:27 – 6:30 pm. I add them up and divide by 3 to equal 34211. I took that, and multiplied it by 60 to get the downloads per hour. I took that number (2,052,660) and multiplied it by 24 to get the downloads per day which was 49,263,840. I took 25,000,000,000 and subtracted 24,658,507,655 to get the number of downloads need left to get 25 billion. it was 341,492,343. I took that and divided it by the downloads per day (49,263,840.). I got a very long decimal (the 1st 4 digits being 6.931. ) So that’s how many days until its over. 6 days from February 24 is March 2nd and the .931 from the number would make the time around 9-10 pm because we started at 6:27 pm. You should start downloading at March 2nd 8:00-9:00 pm.

I have learned a lot this year in math. I can do everything we have learned. We have learned adding and subtracting negative numbers, as well as multiplying and dividing them. We  have also learned how to do the distributive property and evaluating positive, zero, and negative exponents. The last thing we learned was simplifying expressions using exponents.  I have also learned combining like terms and combining like terms with distribution. For example 7c + 5x – 4c +3x = 3c + 8x. I believe i deserve the grade i have. Right now, i have an A. I realize i do talk a lot in class but in the end i always get my work done and do very well.
