10 What is 17 1/2% of 97 + 42 x (6 / 2) – 137 ? [Editor's note: Holy shit!]
A. Geez. I haven't done a math problem like this since 12th grade. I came up with 49. Does anyone know if that is correct? *edited: apparently not!* [Tina, if you are reading this, what say you?] [Tina is my former high school algebra/trig teacher, who reads my blog. I hope she reads this!]
*edited* Tina says:
17 1/5% of 97 + 42x(6/2) - 137
Must use the order of operations.
PEMDAS - really only using MDAS part
Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract in that order!.
so... 171/2% of 97 is 0.175 x 97 = 16.975
42 x (6/2) = 42 x 3 = 126
16.975 + 126 - 137 = 5.975
Tisk tisk...my children!!

Haha, #10! I went straight to Google on that one.
ReplyDeleteOrange is my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteI agree on being a travel writer. I love reading travel journals (about the only way I'm going to get to those places) and think it would be amazing to get paid to go all over the world and tell people about it.
I like does but, I'd hate to be one in your neck of the woods. Oh, and she won..only it was the freaking popular vote by 2.8 mill....
ReplyDelete#10: After converting the 17 and a half to 17.5, then the 6/2 fraction to 3 then do the rest of the math. Easy. Step by step of your teacher is spot on!
ReplyDeleteYes, she won. That makes me sigh with happiness, that incredible number.
I should have thought of "tolerant" and "temperamental." And if I were your age again, I would LOVE to be s travel writer.
ReplyDelete#20 is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers but how lucky to have witnessed #20 on your front lawn. Wow. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on #11. The best way to go.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else got the same anwer to the math question, I guess there are some math nerds among us!

ReplyDeleteSis,
ReplyDeleteBlue is still in your nephews possession.He keeps him right beside his blue blanket!!
Did you win the fight in the parking lot? Should we refer to you as "Warrior Princess"
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... # 20 is definitely a once is a lifetime event to see.
Yeah, I'd be skipping the convoluted math problem.
