Research 5 by Wendy Gutman

Research 5

wendy_gutman — 2017-09-01 11:44:14 UTC

Research how many presidents have served
office in the United States.

Then create four random data fractions using the number of presidents as the denominator.

Simplify or reduce each fraction that you record if
possible.

Write each random data fraction on your “sticky
note” with the smallest random data fraction listed
first and the largest random data fraction listed last.

For example:
_/_ of the presidents were lawyers before they served in office.
_/_ of the presidents were born in Texas.

I have researched it and I got that 44 presidents served the U.S. It also says something about someone named Grover Cleveland making it 45....technically, but I am just going to go with 44.
-------------------------------------------
4 random data fractions not simplified
* 2/44 presidents were impeached
* 3/44 presidents were born in Texas
*4/44 sitting presidents were shot and killed
* Approximately 8/44 presidents were left handed

There are 45 total presidents including our new one Donald Trump, BUT his terms are not up so I am not to count him. So seriously I am going to just use 44.

I researched how many presidents have served office in the United States, and the site I went on had the title: The 44 Presidents of the United States who came before Donald Trump

Which must mean that there are 45 presidents that have served for the United States, right? Well, our new president, Donald Trump, is serving, and has not exactly served his full term, but I am still going to count him as one.
___________________________
Below are my 4 random fractions:
*6/45 presidents are still living today
*7/45 presidents had some type of allergy to deal with
*23/45 presidents have been on either coin or paper currency
*3/45 presidents died on July 4th
___________________________
These are my fractions simplified:

6/45= 2/15
7/45= 7/45
23/45= 23/45
3/45= 1/15

I researched and found that 43 different people have served as president for the U.S. because when I researched, I found out that Grover Cleveland served 2 non consecutive terms making him the 22nd and 24th presidents.
-------------------------------------------
Also there is Donald Trump our current president who has been in office for a few months.
That makes 44 presidents of I am not mistaken.
-------------------------------------------
4 random fractions :

1. 19/44 presidents served more than once
2. 2/44 presidents have been impeached
3. 1/44 presidents were born in Kansas

I am counting 44 presidents.
------------------------------------------
Random Fractions
1. 8/44 were born in Virginia.
2.8/44 were left handed.
3.2/44 were impeached.
4.9/44 were teachers before they began their political career.
------------------------------------------
Simplified Fractions
The most you can simplify 8/44 is to 2/11. (can also simplify to 4/22 but isn't the most)
The next one is same as the first so 2/11.
Now 2/44 can be simplified to 1/22 but nothing else.
Finally 9/44 can't be simplified because it doesn't divide by two easily.

I have researched a couple sites for this and most of them said 44 because Trump's terms haven't been completed.

Four Data Fractions:
1. 2/44 were impeached.
2. 4/44 were assassinated.
3. 16/44 were Senators
4. 5/44 were in the KKK.
That's just absurd because they're supposed to help people not discriminate them... :(
Simplified Fractions:
1. 1/22
2. 1/11
3. 4/11
