MTH 215 Week 3 Participation Prompt Week 3, Day 5 (Saturday)

In this discussion assignment, you and your assigned Discussion Group talk about your experiences with percentages and unit conversions. The original posts will be graded individually.

Each team member must create a new thread and make an original post by the due date answering the following two questions to earn full participation points.  For the discussion posts, per day 10% late penalty applies if the original post is made after the due date.  Your subsequent posts in the discussion will not be graded because you will earn full participation credit for making the original post by the due date.  If you have any questions, please post your specific course-related questions in the “Help Thread” available in the “Recommended” section of the class.

Post an 80 to150-word response to the following discussion prompts by Day 5 in the discussion area:

• Examine when and where you have seen percentages used. What are these percentages describing? What are they trying to get you to believe? How can you use percentages to describe changes in your life?
• Before taking this course, have you ever had to convert a unit? How did you convert the unit? Was the project you were working on successful after the conversion? Provide an example in your response.
