Use Polya’s four-step problem-solving strategy, and the problem-solving procedures presented in this lesson to solve the following exercise.      A frag is at the bottom of a 19-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot before it is ready to make another leap. How many leaps will the frog need to escape the well?

A total of 25 teacher aides are to be apportioned among seven classes at a new elementary school. The enrollment in each of the seven classes is shown in the following table. a. Determine the standard divisor. [a]     What is the meaning of the standard divisor in the context of this exercise?          There is one aide for ever ______ students. [a-students] b. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of teacher aides to be apportioned to each class.     Kindergarten [b-Kindergarten]     First grade [b-FirstGrade]     Second grade [b-SecondGrade]     Third grade [b-ThirdGrade]     Fourth grade [b-FourthGrade]     Fifth grade [b-FifthGrade]     Sixth grade [b-SixthGrade] c.
