That is still good isn't it Alan?  Doesn't that mean that the Sweepstakes organisers can expect to pay out more in prizes than they get in revenue?   

I think he just means enter 0.55 and press Enter (not the = sign).

$${\mathtt{0.55}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{11}}}{{\mathtt{20}}}}$$

Yes fine dragon.  I only just saw this.

You can ask questions on the forum, that is what it is for.

I don't know that you have enough knowledge yet to answer other people's LaTex. (But you are welcome to try)

I think you should concentrate on improving your own LaTex first.

Admin, Could you please explain what you mean  

Well that is not very nice anonymous - I think that we will cut your pay instead.  lol.

A duck is more likely to eat a cow than a cow is to eat a duck! 

You can learn how to do it here.

Well this time it took 9 minutes 

Find the compound interest on $450 for 2 years at 6% per annul compounded monthly

First you find the future value using the formula     FV=P(1+i)^n 

i = the monthly interest rate

n= the number of months

P=principal that is the amount you invested

THEN

int = FV - P

You can probably do it now.  You can post again if you get stuck.

You can think of the numbers representing temperature

Positive numbers are hot and negative numbers are cold.

If you take away cold from a room then the room gets hotter. So --=+

6--5=6+5=11

Have a look at this post and see if it helps

look at the question below.  

You have the hat on the wrong side of the bracket.

3*10^(-2)

You can do this straight on the site calc on the home page 

or

look at the page to learn about scientific notation

Where is the rest of your questions?

Number of geese = 7

Number of ducks = x

More geese than ducks so  x<7

Probability of a goose and a duck chosen =       $$2(\frac{7}{x+7}\times \frac{x}{x+7-1})$$       

 I times by 2 because the probability of choosing a duck and then a goose is the same.

$$\\2(\frac{7}{x+7}\times \frac{x}{x+7-1})=\frac{7}{15}\\\\
2(\frac{7}{x+7}\times \frac{x}{x+6})=\frac{7}{15}\\\\
\frac{14x}{(x+7)(x+6)}=\frac{7}{15}\\\\
\mbox{multiply both sides by 15(x+7)(x+6) to get rid of all the fractions}\\\\
15*14x=7(x+7)(x+6)\\\\
30x=x^2+13x+42\\\\
0=x^2-17x+42\\\\
0=(x-3)(x-14)\\\\
x=3\; or\; x=14\\
but\; x<7 \;therefore\\
x=3$$

So there are 3 ducks and 7 geese.

You can enter this straight onto the site calc on the home page.

Just use round brackets, not the square ones.  

You can't simplify it but you could factorise it.  Is that what you want?

$$-18z^2+108z=\;-18z(z-6)$$

What do you mean by critical numbers?

Add up all the scores and divide by how many there scores there are.

How much is owed after 36 months on a $300.00 loan if the rate of simple interest is 5%?

I=Prt

rate = 5% per annum   r=5/100=0.05

P=300

t=1.5years

I=300*0.05*1.5=22.5

Total owing = 22.5+300=$322.50

I would not enter the units into the calc I would work them out seperately.

$$12*one \;and\; a\; half = 12*1.5$$

Now you can do it one the site calc on the home page.

Or you couls do it as 

12*(1+1/2)

 I know it is not infinite, if there were no security that would crush server :D
