The+Jump

== On Kamikaze Ozzy's big jump day, we needed to figure out how tall the bleachers were. How we figured that out was we used a piece of paper and laid it on the bleachers. Since the paper was 8 inches tall and the step was a little bigger, we added another 2 inches onto each step. There were 12 steps, so we multiplied 12 by 10 to get 120 inches. There was a little piece at the bottom of the bleachers that we measured to be 6 inches, so our total length for the bleachers was 126 inches. We then put that into our equation to get 126 = 10.19 + 5.23x. To find out how many rubber bands we needed, we subtracted 10.19 from 126 to get 115.81 and then our equation became 115.81 = 5.23x. To find "x", we divided 115.81 by 5.23 and got 22.1434 etc. Since the last time we rounded up, we rounded down this time and got 21 rubber bands. == == Finally, Kamikaze Ozzy got to jump. On her first jump, she was about 5 inches away from the water. We decided to add another rubber band to get her closer to the water, but close enough that she will not touch it. On Kamikaze Ozzy's second jump, she was about 2-3 inches away from the water. We decided to have her jump again to see if she could get closer, but she ended up touching the water. Kamikaze Ozzy then died....:( == == ==
