OOC: When the heck did we end up in a cage? No, seriously, did I miss a post? @Usagi Tsukino

Raisor slumped on the ground, feeling like his energy was being drained just by being near that weird doctor. Heck, Raisor didn't even think the guy was a doctor, he looked more like someone who put on a lab coat and gloves and put Doctor in front of his name just because it sounded neat. Glad at least that Ananta had healed him, even though it wasn't really necessary, and he did mean that in every sense of the word, Raisor got to his feet and wondered how they were going to get out of this mess. They were stuck with no way out, and it didn't seem like their keyblades were going to be of much use. Though, like Raisor said earlier, he really didn't need his keyblade to knock someone like that mad scientist on the other end of the room down a few pegs. Then he heard Ananta mutter something about Kross.

"I'm sorry, did you just say your "Kross senses are tingling?" He gave her a confused look with one eyebrow raised.

Not sure whether to think Ananta was going crazy or something else, Raisor figured it was time to get them out of there. They needed to figure out where they were exactly, and being stuck in one spot was not going to do them any good. Plus, there was still Aden to think about, who was somehow unconscious on the ground during this time, even though they had been up for a few minutes now. Apparently that guy could sleep through anything.

"Well, let me see if there's a lock on this cage that I can't pick. And by pick I mean "completely destroy so it doesn't do it's job of staying locked"," Raisor looked at the cage to see their exit strategy, "Uh, slight problem. I don't see a door on this cage."

but looking at it, what relates to what? It says in the beginning that within 6 minutes the enthusiast can do 75 pushups. Those relate to each other. It's asking how long it would take to do 325 pushups only, meaning there was no time to relate to the larger amount of pushups like it did with the first amount, being 6 minutes, so you had to find that unknown.

Just depends on the person. When I had to do those questions in High school I just linked them together and would write in air getting the stuff in my head right. It's more of a matching game than anything else

Patman's is the same a lot of people do, he just had the extra boxes around with the words, which no one ever does on paper. All you have to do is make sure you get your numbers in the right spot and do the cross-multiplication right.

you should have tried to do something with electricity and see if you couldn't get the electricity to bounce from raindrop to raindrop

Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining math, especially if I can't write it down. But you have multiplication, you just need to get your numbers first. So you have the size of the tree, 20ft, and the length of it's shadow, 50ft, this gives you the number 20/50.

The second number you need the size of your height, so Xft, and you need the size of your shadow, so you take the length of the tree's shadow, minutes how far you are from the tree, since the question states that you will still be in the shadow, so 50-40, giving you 10 feet is your own shadow, so you have X/10.

Now with those numbers, you have the equation 20/50 = x/10

now with cross multiplication you get 50x = 200

dividing 50 from both sides you get x = 4

so 4ft is how tall you must be standing 40ft from the tree with a 50ft shadow to be completely in the shadow

The first one is easy, since you just cross multiply
10/26 = 16/X

10x = 416

X = 41.6


The second I was getting wrong too, but that's because I forgot the subtraction of 50 and 40 in the example Patman just showed. Try to always get the numbers together before just grouping them in the order they appear. You have a 20 foot tree that casts a 50 foots shadow, so you have 20/50 for your first number. Your trying to get X, which is your size, so you have X on the top, and then you have 50, which is the length of the shadow, minus 40, being the length you are from the tree, giving 10, being your shadow length...or something along those lines. It makes sense in my head, but I can't say the same if it makes sense for you.

So far as my memory is concerned the gauss-jordan method is needlessly tedious out of all the math I know. And yeah, I was reading it as (5/4)/x=.75/(3/8) too. And I might have made it more difficult, but I just switched it to
.75x = 15/32 and made 15/32 a decimal with the calculator. I'm sure there was an easier way as I was checking my answer online, but I don't remember the method, so meh.

Unless you watch Tomorrowland or Eureka

My high school geometry and Algebra II teacher, same person if that isn't clear, wanted to see our math problems on paper all the time, so it was annoying when I knew I could do it in my head in 3 seconds compared to wasting time writing.

Also, keep that question in mind and I'll answer it later, soon as we learn probability

You know what annoys me? This is one of those things I know I learned at one point, very briefly, and I can be certain of that, and yet I can not answer it because I haven't done it in who-knows-how-long. It's like when I first looked at Matrices this semester. I remember them being easy, but I couldn't remember how to do them right away. Am I at least correct it's one of those A/B=C/D problems? Wish I could write that, but no pen on this forum

edit: okay, took a random stab at it, and I seriously doubt it's right, in any sense of the word, whether you're looking for a decimal, fraction, or just a right answer in general, but taking a stab at what I thought was right I got X=.625 or x=5/8

Not when it became IE's cousin. Four years ago I would have agreed with you

I prefer the inaccurate computer way.......now I'm going to be looking at that and trying to figure out how to make it look better

That or your brain went on vacation to Hawaii and doesn't wish to send you that information you want to remember. Most of the time I get stuck on a problem it's because I just completely forget it, but usually I'll remember all the terms and formulas to use, just get them mixed up because of my teensy handwriting. Earlier today during my first practice test I got a matrix problem wrong with the Gauss-Jordan method because I missed a negative symbol......I always go so fast at math because it's easy that I miss things something, and when I slow down to look at it I wonder "what the heck do I do?".

What I need is someone to teach me how to sleep while doing schoolwork, than my mind can be on one thing: sleep. Don't look at the logic of that, there was none to begin with

Well, these guys have accomplished it

What am I, chopped-liver? Just because I have brain-flops a few times doesn't mean I can't do math

Not very useful step-wise is that? Better to go

26x = 17x + 70000

26x - 17x = 9x

9x = 70000

divide by nine and you get 70000/9, but that's just quantity, not revenue. The revenue is R(x), being 26(70000/9). Now the issue I had looking at it was how the heck do you get the answer out of that, but I managed to remember how the flying-fluck you get it after doing the second test by checking my math with the other answers. I was forgetting that looking at it 26 is also 9 over 9, just 26 times, so you could multiply 70000 by 26 and get the answer. Trying to get the Break-Even point in the second practice test I understood where the fractions came from, but I feel silly having trouble, especially since 1820000/9 is 202222.222, which is the same answer as the question from the quiz.

And here I thought there was a typo. Also, I just realized that even though I got the question earlier, trying to explain you tiny post in steps made it easier to understand........how the fluck does that work?

Isn't that a little harsh saying they have the IQ level of a dog?

And don't look at me, I was good with a simple math class in Colorado, but UH makes me take 2 extra math classes. Also, not everyone can do everything in their head. I can do most math in my head and make it easier, but I was listening to music to make it less boring, so meh. Good thing it was a practice test only

I think a better question would be: Does anyone even remember that Nickelodeon thing?
