This is an old one but a good one. Thanks Rhino.

I have given it the puzzle icon and copied the question into 'Puzzles' which is a Sticky note thread.

I have directed people here for the answer.

Neat huh?

This is where I put it.

You think so?

Here, I put it in LaTeX

$$\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{6 \times 1}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{6 \times \frac{4}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\frac{6*4}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\frac{24}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\frac{24}{ \rlap{/}{4}}}{\frac{3}{\rlap{/}{4}}}= \frac{24}{3} = 8$$

I make both denominators equal so that they can be crossed out.

But your method is pretty simple too. It's what you prefer I guess.

Money Puzzle

You borrow $50 from your mom and $50 from your dad to buy a T-shirt.

The T-shirt costs $97 and you receive $3 change.

You give $1 to your mom, $1 to your dad and keep $1 to yourself.

Now you owe $49 to your mother $49 to your father and the $1 you kept to yourself.

$49+$49+$1 = $99.

Where did the last dollar go?

REPENT, YE !!!

Oh snap!

We're doomed!

that is a complicated looking method reinout-g

$$6\div \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{1}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{1}\times \frac{4}{1}=8$$

Another interesting thing....note the sum of the first six Roman Numeral symbols

I + V + X + L + C + M  =

1 + 5 + 10 + 50 + 100 + 500 =  "666"

Also...it's the sum of the first 36 positive integers

(36 * 37) /  2   =  "666"

I think this is the easiest way, but others may disagree

6/(3/4) = (6*4/4)/(3/4) = (24/4)/(3/4) = 24/3 = 8

The base of a prism can be any 2D shape.  So there is no general formula for it's area.

Haha fair enough.

I think I'm going to do this more often.

This 'begin of the day unwrap'.

I think it's funny to start 'my' day of with a joke when Melody ends his day one or two hours later and there's no better way to start your day than with a little humour.

(1) the 16th letter of the greek alphabet

(2)the consonant sound represented by this letter

(3)the ratio of a circle

or spelled as pie

(1) a baked food having a filling of fruit,meat,pudding,etc., prepared in a pastry-lined pan or dish and often topped with a pasty crust: apple pie; meat pie.

(2) a layer cake with a filling of custard, cream jelly, or the like: chocolate cream pie.

(3) a total or whole that can be divided: They want a bigger part of the profit pie

(4) an activity or affair: He has his finger in the political pie too.

(5) pizza

 

I want to see what all the fuss is about

$$x^2+y^2-6x+6y+9=0\\\\
x^2-6x+y^2+6y=-9\\\\
x^2-6x+9+y^2+6y+9=-9+9+9\\\\
(x-3)^2+(y+3)^2=9\\\\$$

Circle centre (3,-3)  radius=3

What was all the big fuss about - did I do something wrong?  I don't think so.

I think you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill!

LOL!!!!

I love "lumber of the beast"   !!!!   Too funny, reinout  !!!!

Thumbs Up and Points....hey..... the post does deal with with numbers....well, one of them, anyway!!!

Clearly you should not be joking about this ;

THE EASY WAY IS JUST SAY 3.14

Those d**n aussies!

Melody! Explain yourself!

Why on earth did you guys have to choose 999 instead of 666?

Is it because you're on the upside-down part of the earth?

BTW, this is actually quite funny;

$$x^2+y^2-2x-2y=14\\\\
(x^2-2x)+(y^2-2y)=14\\\\
\mbox{now you have to complete the 2 squares}\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)+(y^2-2y+1)=14+1+1\\\\
(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=16\\\\
(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=4^2\\\\$$

Centre (1,1) radius =4

Here's the number of  "The Beast"
