I think Melody's interpretation is the correct one, but I can see how Aziz might have interpreted it a little differently, too!!!

Punctuation and clarity ARE important........

For instance......

Let's eat, grandmother!!!    ...is different from.......

Let's eat grandmother!!!!

Our calculator is on the blink, at the moment.......here's the best we can do for you........

I assume this is in degrees.

Just type it (or copy it ) straight into the input line on the calculator that is on the home page. and press equals or enter.

You can do that for yourself!

Hi all,             

Another quiet day but still some good answers from Rosala Alan, Stu, CPhill, AzizHusain NinjaDevo and Sasini.

Thank you everyone.   Now for the posts:

Look at how quiet it has been!

And also he gave us helpful inormation too!

You answered Rosala's question very well Stu. 

yes thats quiet funny , that sign!lol!

And yes i saw it was badly quiet out here like as if all the kids have got a bad scolding for shouting and acting mad and are now sitting quietly in a room ...........................silence...................!

I am glad that you are back Rosala, it has been a little quiet around here.

Happy friendship day! - Those 2 little girls are very sweet.  

But 

I really like the "You are being monitored" road sign.   

yeah you can also say that becoz................using shortcuts means your being lazy!!!

Zegores...................sad.........i didnt expect this from you..................lazy.............!

Thats very helpful Melody!im sure he/she will understand as a pizza is used for an example!

A yummy example!!!

Mmm - He is being lazy!

Why don't you try to work through the activities on this site.    

Thank you Melody!

And Zegroes isnt being lazy , its just that he likes shortcuts which in turn give him some hard time!!!lol!

Good work Rosala  

Zegroes, I took points off you for being so lazy! You should have fixed your answer before you went to bed!   

I have interpreted this question differently.

Sheila has 32 coins all together.  They are all nickels 5c and dimes 10c.  There total value is $250

How many nickels does she have?

Let n be the number of nickels and let d be the number of dimes.

n+d=32      (1)

5n+10d=250    divide through by 5

n+2d=50    (2)

Solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.  Start with (2)-(1)

$$\begin{array}{rlll}
n+2d&=&50\quad&(2)\\
\underline{n+d}&=&\underline{32}\quad&(1) Now \;subtract\\
d&=&18}
\end{array}\\\\
\begin{array}{rlll}
n+18&=&32\;\; therefore\\
n&=&14
\end{array}\\$$

check   14+18=32 and  5*14+10*18=70+180=250=$250    correct

So Sheila has 14 nickels  

Thanks for that so easy way Melody!it really helps!

Thumbs up !

Thanks Alan,

I would look at it a little differently.

How many units are there in 75.    75 ofcourse.  75*1=75

How many hundreds are there in 1600   Well 16 of course  16*100=1600

How many thousands are there in 137000  .   Ans 137    :   137*1000=137000

How many tenths in 5.7  57 because 57*1/10=5.7  (note that the 7 is in the tenths column)    

It means bump post to the top but bump was to short and needed more info. My post went unanswered and I didn't want it to get lost. 

Thanks Chris,  That is a really neat method!   Here is another method. 

Any number can be put over 1.  (If you divide any number by 1 its value does not change)  So

$$\\\frac{0.00365747}{1}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\
\mbox{Now you can turn both sides upside down (take the reciprocals)}\\\\
\frac{1}{0.00365747}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\
x=\frac{1}{0.00365747}\\\\$$

$${\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{0.003\: \!657\: \!47}}}} = {\mathtt{273.413\: \!042\: \!348\: \!946\: \!129\: \!4}}$$    

 I used the divide by sign to do this.   

Stu what does that mean now??!

Bump. Bumpety bump bump. 

Seems like!

Thanks Aziz,

Aziz has written an approximation.

$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$    is an irrational number.  This means that it cannot be written exactly as a fraction. Hence it cannot be written exactly as a terminating or recurring decimal either!

Trolling...
