  how does Benjamin use diction and syntax in his writings, expecially that of the AutoBiography of Ben Franklin? i am doing a comparison of Edwards and Franklin, and i really need this information. I cannot find it anywhere!

  • Syntax is the usual order of words, or the correct grammatical use of language. Ask yourself if Franklin writes in an unusual way. Does the order of his words seem different? How is this effective? As for diction: does he use flowery, fancy words, or very difficult obscure ones, or does he use plain English? Remember, plain English, if written well, can be just as or even more effective that difficult words. (NT) -- Cece...I hope this helps.

  What do you do when a teacher that you have hates your guts beyond all recognition and wont admit it? And yes she really does hate me, there's no doubt about that. Today was about the umpteenth time she's made me cry. I just can't figure out why she hates me so much. Can anyone help me out...?

    • Hey - thanks a bunch, that really helped... I don't understand this woman at all but thankfully I'm done with her now... (yesterday I used my old chemistry papers as fuel for our wood burning stove). LOL. I know who I will have for science next year and it is not her, and after that I am never taking another science class until college. I am horrible at chemistry, and every time I do my work, she finds little things wrong with it and gives me crappy grades. I basically just quit caring and doing my work, so at least I deserved the crap grades she was giving me. Fortunantly I think I've managed a B for the year. I got a C+ on her exam and we had fun afterwards, me and two of my other friends who she also hates, discussing how we'll never have to sit through her awful class again ;) I was so upset when I posted this... but I feel better now.

  Hi everyone (possibly just Lynn),
  I'm sorry for what was up here before and how long it took me to get rid of it - Lynn, I got your message at Maeve's but not until today when I was looking through the archives. Good thing it landed around finale time or I wouldn't have looked through them. Anyways, I apologize to anyone who had to be bothered by that (hope you didn't click it! The link seemed to explain enough to me!) I've been really busy trying to get a levy passed on the third try for our school district (it passed last night by 52.24%. The no group is now trying to petition to put it back up for defeat). I should be less busy from now on (with the exception of this weekend - I will be gone for the fanfest for 4 days). Thanks for being patient with me, guys.

• Algebra practice Exit Test... I'm not entirely sure what the concept is. -- KatieS, 19:37:22 03/11/03 Tue (pleiades-30.cmh.jadeinc.net/209.57.24.230)
  Okay, so we are going back over our practice exit tests tonight, and I'm totally not getting this one. The problem is this:
  -1(3y-2(y+1))+11=20
  
  I'm not sure how you're supposed to do this problem, in what order. I tried several ways... I tried doing 2(y+1) by the distributive property first, and then I did -1(3y-2y-2) and combined like terms to get -y+2+11 and then -y+13, but then you do
  -y+13=20
  -13 -13
  -y=-7
  y=7
  
  But the answer is really y=-29. I've got NO CLUE how to get there.
  Somebody, PLEASE help!
  Thanks,
  Katie

    • Well... it was on our practice exit test which we are reviewing tonight... the problem was originally incorrectly written but our teacher fixed it... then she did the problems for the answer key, I think, because there were a few errors and she said she had done them in a hurry... but I don't know. I'll ask her tomorrow. (NT) -- KatieS, 21:19:28 03/11/03 Tue
      • Just in case you're dying to know (yeah right), I was right, our teacher went over it in class and said I was right. Woo hoo, now I've got a D on the stupid practice test! (NT) -- KatieS (So I'm not *quite* failing it yet, right?), 19:49:14 03/12/03 Wed
        • Actually, I did want to know! I knew you had the right steps and I hope that gives you confidence that you can do Algebra. From what I've seen of your work, you really do get Algebra...Now just believe in yourself...I believe in you! Good luck on your exit exam! Let me know how you do. (NT) -- LynnBo, 21:39:30 03/12/03 Wed
          • Ohh! Thank you! *tear* you're so nice to me! I get algebra most of the time, it's just, sometimes there are things that confuse me. I took my exit test today. I'm a little bit nervous, there was one question that when I did the check it didn't work (And the answer doesn't usually tend to be -5.2 either) but I can't figure out how to make it work, so I'll try it some more tomorrow (we're continuing the test) but other than that problem, I'm thinking (hoping and praying) that I did pretty well. Thanks so much, your confidence in me means alot and makes me feel like I can actually get algebra! LOL! (NT) -- KatieS (trying her best to understand it...... I wonder who invented algebra, and why? LOL! Was he just bored one day?), 20:57:51 03/13/03 Thu

            • Since you asked, an Arabic mathematician, Al-Khorizmi "invented" algebra. He wrote a treatise centuries ago about solving problems using a step-by-step method. Algebra is an Anglicized version of an Arabic word in the title of his treatise. It literally means to solve for the unknown. Ol' Al's name has been Anglicized to the word algorithm which is a step-by-step plan to solve any problem, especially in writing a computer program. Bet you don't ask me any more questions! (NT) -- LynnBo, 22:09:43 03/13/03 Thu
              • ROTFL! No kidding!!!! That's kinda funny. I'm glad he was actually a mathematician, had he not been, he would have had to have been one very bored Arabic man. LOL! (NT) -- KatieS (for the record, I would never invent any type of math that could be used in the future to create tests such as the one I just took. That is the most impossible and boring test!), 20:49:15 03/14/03 Fri

  [ Post a Reply to this Message ][Edit]
  
  Replies:

  • 5n and n are like terms that can be combined by adding the 5 and the "understood" 1 in front of the n's to get 6n = 78. 6n means 6 times n so to eliminate the 6 you divide 6n and 78 by the 6. The answer is then, n = 13. (NT) -- LynnBo, 20:02:44 02/24/05 Thu

• Geometry - HELP!! -- KatieS, 17:57:01 02/01/05 Tue (dhcp93102225.columbus.rr.com/24.93.102.225)
  Ok I need help with four problems.
  1. An equilateral triangle has a radius of 4 m. Find the perimeter and area. This one I started and will put inside...
  
  For 2-4... Regular polygons A and B are similar. Compare their areas. (I have NO Clue how to do this...)
  
  2. The radius of square A is twice the radius of square B.
  
  3.The length of a side of hexagon A equals the radius of hexagon B.
  
  4. The perimeter of decagon A equals the length of a side of decagon B.
  
  For the last three can you help me figure out how to do these?? It's awful I tried so hard. The first one is inside - I'll let you take a look at my work and tell me what I did wrong. I'll just write it in the form of reasoning since I can't draw my shapes.
  Thanks!

  • Problem 1 -- KatieS, 18:02:48 02/01/05 Tue
    • Katie, it has been a long time since I taught Geometry. I need to know exactly what radius you are talking about. Do you mean the radius of a circle inscribed or circumscribed with respect to the triangle? There are formulas based on each type of circle. I will work on the others while I wait for your response. (NT) -- LynnBo, 19:04:18 02/01/05 Tue
      • DUH! You were talking about drawing altitudes and using the distance from the vertex to the point of intersection as the radius, weren't you? If so, then I'll finish inside. -- LynnBo, 19:16:26 02/01/05 Tue

    • Thanks so much for being here when I need you, you're the best. You always help me sooo much!! :) And geometry is evil. LOL. I actually MISS algebra. I speak the word with longing! LOLOLOL! Anyways thanks sooo much for your help!! (NT) -- KatieS who is actually doing really good in geometry despite all her troubles, 20:53:07 02/07/05 Mon
      • Thanks! I hope I didn't log on too late to be of help to you. What math course will you be taking next year? Do you have a career in mind and is anyone helping you take courses that will help with that? Have a great weekend. (NT) -- LynnBo, 17:24:51 02/11/05 Fri
        • Hey Lynn, next year I'll most likely be taking PreCal, woo hoo (not) although I've heard it's more like algebra than geometry so I'll be okay I think. Anyways I'm either going to teach middle school social studies/language arts or elementary school so math wont be the biggest thing ever, hopefully, but I'm still hoping to take Calculus in my senior year for college credit. (NT) -- KatieS, 22:40:54 02/13/05 Sun
          • You're right that PreCal is more like algebra, but it also has trigonometry in it (at a more in-depth level than what you've probably had in Geometry.) If you teach middle school soc.st. or lang. arts, you will have very little math to take. Elementary education majors take quite a bit of math, but it is geared towards helping you better understand the basics so that you can be a proficient teacher for your students. Either route you go, you will have no troubles! My school has a Future Educators of America club, does yours? If so, JOIN! There are other courses, such as sociology, that are helpful. Write to your local universities and find out what they recommend you take. The more you take in high school for free, the less you'll have to pay to take in college! (NT) -- LynnBo, 17:54:55 02/14/05 Mon
            • It's actually really sad... see inside it was too long. -- KatieS, 21:07:51 02/19/05 Sat
              • INCREDIBLE! Kentucky always gets a bad rep for education, but I see other states having just as much, and in your case, more trouble than us. My largest class this semester only has 20 students! Most of our AP classes have just 10-20 students! Our clubs are sponsored by volunteer faculty sponsors, although field trips and competitions are funded by the district. I hope the levy passes this time, after all the people voting it down will suffer in the future when they will be the aged depending on uneducated citizens who will be running the economy then! (NT) -- LynnBo, 13:08:54 02/20/05 Sun
                • LOL we know it's the people in nursing homes and such that are voting us down, my friend Erica is so cynical, she said "We'll pay them back when we work those nursing homes" it was so funny. No but seriously it has been crazy... you should see all the editorials in the paper... people are like, we said no twice, we'll say it again, and others are like, HELLO THESE ARE OUR KIDS! Honestly. Who paid for your education? It's a cycle people, we'll be paying someday too! Sigh. Governor Taft is the biggest idiot on this earth. I really do hope we get it passed, we'll be working really hard. The biggest thing, I think, is education of the masses. (NT) -- KatieS, 19:20:56 02/20/05 Sun

  I GOT A 97% ON MY AP US HISTORY EXAM!!!! WOW!!! I'm so happy I got mostly A's on my exams, let me go through them real fast... Spanish I think was an A, English too, Health was an A, Chemistry C+ (that was my lowest I'm horrible at Chemistry), Geometry A (woohoo!), Weight training 100%!! and I already put my history. Soooo yay!
  
  I took a geometry test today that I know I messed up on, I put the angle of depression in the wrong place, the angle of elevation, all that. I hope I didn't do too bad on it.
  
  That's all just checking in. Later.

  • I have alot of difficulty in math, probably because there's so much need to be precise, and I have trouble with being precise when multiplying, adding, etc over and over again - and because there are so many processes to memorize. (NT) -- KatieS, 20:22:13 11/23/03 Sun
  • I have a hard time with math too. It just doesn't make sense to me like languages and history does. When I took it, I would spend hours studying but it would never click in my head and I could never duplicate what the teacher taught us when I'd go home and do the assigned work. So I stopped taking math after grade 12 (we only had to take it up til grade 10, so I held out way longer than I should have!!). (NT) -- Heather K, 18:31:19 11/24/03 Mon
    • Lawyer -- Chassity, 14:53:21 02/02/06 Thu
  • Me three. I have trouble with it because I never was made to learn the basics. I was very brilliant in other areas, and so I was always being pulled out of class to go off to tutor other kids, or go to some gifted kid lecture, or something. It took me many long years of remediation to even learn the basics. I guess that old saying about the older you get, the dumber you get is true-I think I am about to fail Intermediate Algebra. Oh, well. There's always next semester! (NT) -- Mama CAss, 00:21:23 11/27/03 Thu
    • Hey Cass- aren't you studying to eventually become a lawyer?? If so, why on earth are you taking Algebra?!?! You don't need it for law school! (NT) -- Heather K, 10:16:06 11/27/03 Thu
      • Yeah, but I have to have to transfer to the University. DARN! I object! LOL. (NT) -- Mama Cass, 17:50:47 11/29/03 Sat
      • lawyer -- cassy, 00:22:03 12/31/04 Fri
    • Cass, I'm very sorry to hear about your math woes thru the years. As a 26 year veteran in the high school math classroom, I have always felt that pull out programs for gifted students did them more harm than good. Fortunately, curriculums are better designed now and I feel they are meeting the needs of the gifted student in ways pullout programs never could. I would also like to offer to help you try to salvage your grade in Intermediate Algebra. I can try to handle it at this mb, or thru my public e-mail. I will post my addy inside if you want to try this. -- LynnBo, 19:17:05 11/27/03 Thu
      • You are a brave lady! Thanks, Lynn! I got it! (NT) -- Mama Cass, 17:52:10 11/29/03 Sat
  • And actually, it's not quite so bad. We are doing simple stuff (sets of numbers) and Simple Interest stuff (which comes easy for me-hmm. Maybe I should be an accountant?), so I may be able to salvage my grade! Finals are in two weeks, let's see if Cass can pull this one off! (NT) -- Mama Cass, 17:57:23 11/29/03 Sat
    • I'm glad you've hit material you understand. I hope you can pull this one off, too! I still stand by my offer of help, tho, so gimme a yell if you're going under! Good luck on your finals. (NT) -- LynnBo, 22:34:50 11/29/03 Sat

• Public Apology and Heads Up for New Posters -- Moderator, 19:04:01 11/24/04 Wed (dhcp93102225.columbus.rr.com/24.93.102.225)
  Hi everyone,
  I know this place has been quiet lately, but I did some running through of the contents of the board this evening and noticed some posts that definitely should not have been here. I have deleted the offensive posts and I ask everyone to please let me know (through the email the moderator feature at the top of the main board) if you should find anything you conisider offensive so that I may review it. I'm very sorry that those ones were there for so long and if they offended anyone I'm so sorry. I don't go through the entire board very often.
  
  Now to new posters.
  I have noticed a number of new posters posting their questions under posts from other people that could be quite old. Most people don't read all the way down the board every day, so you will be more likely to get your question answered if you post it as a new message. To do this, click the "Post New Message" link at the top of the main board, or scroll all the way down to the bottom of the main board and use the form there. When you post replies, they should be about another person's post, not about an unrelated topic, or they may never get looked at. Just some words of advice, I hope everyone can use this board this year!

  • Hey! I'm so sorry that RL has been bad for you lately, if you wanna talk about it just let me know, I hope everything works out ok for you! My health is ok, still have all five stones, but that doctor's appointment is coming up. Well. In November. LOL. Right now I'm kinda sick, got a flu or something, I've had since Sunday. Lots of coughing and aching. Oh well, could be worse. Right now we're all into this geometry crap at school and I hate it, our teacher literally went crazy on thursday, she must've been really mad about something because she practically screamed the lesson at us. It was scary LOL. Well I'll see ya later, hope everything works out ok! (NT) -- KatieS, 12:20:23 10/15/04 Fri
    • Sorry you've been sick. Sorry you think geometry is crap! I didn't really care for geometry either and that's why I haven't taught it for the last 20 years of my career! Your teacher must have had problems with the period before yours, I've been there. But I don't think I've ever screamed the lesson (it's very hard on the vocal cords to do that). LOL Thanks for the offer to hear my problems, but they really are settling down now. I hope you have a good check-up. If I can be of help with the geometry, let me know. Even though I don't teach it, I help lost students (and younger family members) regularly. (NT) -- LynnBo, 20:50:11 10/15/04 Fri
      • Hey, sorry it's been so long. The little flu I was talking about before turned into a huge flu with four weeks of coughing and aching and on top of that I've had school and all so it's just been crazy. Geometry's going okay for me now, I can do a 2 column proof now and sort of a paragraph proof but I hate those it's too much writing. But I dunno what was up with our teacher that one day, *all* the class periods said she screamed the lesson at them. She was like all fast paced and everything, no one understood a word except basically that we were not doing well in that class. (I have an A though!) I'll let you know if I have any problems with it, though I don't know how I'm gonna get shapes on here, lol. I guess I'll figure it out. Thanks so much for all your help.

  En el ano de el clase de espanol uno, mi no hablo espanol mucho. Ahora mismo, hablo espanol mucho mas y lo me gusta mucho. Despues de el ano de escuela, mi espanol no esta bien. Necisito practicar porque en mi clase de espanol, mi mastra tambien (I forgot "teaches") el clase de espanol cuatro tambien! Va a ser muy dificil! Estoy emocionada, tambien porque dos de mis amigas van a ser en mi clase. Ellas son Kristin y Ashley. Son muy simpaticas.
  
  Para hoy, mi hermano va a ir al doctoro. Necisito un perscripcion (?). Para la tarde/noche, mi familia (mi madre, yo, y mi hermano) va a la escuela de mi hermano para hablar con su maestra. En el grado de cinco, mi maestra es la maestra que su tiene para el grado de cuatro! Ella es muy simpatica y muy comica. Estoy emocionada porque ella comprende los ninos mucho mas que las otras maestras en el grado de cuatro.
  
  Mi hermano no dorme ahora mismo y yo necisito cuidar el. Adios!

  • Good news and bad news. Good news: I don't have to have any surgery. Bad news: I don't have to have any surgery.LOL . Apparently my stones are too small to break up using the ultrasound thing so I have to try and pass them. If they don't pass then I might just have to live with them because there's really nothing they can do. Unfortunately the doctor said even the smallest stones cause great deals of pain (which was probably the pain that sent me to the hospital) and I've got to do it five times. Sigh. I'm supposed to go back in to be checked in six months to see if they've gotten bigger, passed, multiplied, whatever, and I have to do a study to find out what's causing them (aka - they're going to tell me to stop drinking pop. *sniff*) (NT) -- Katie, 23:03:17 07/01/04 Thu
    • Wow! I can't believe your doctor is just going to let the stones go for 6 months! (inside) -- LynnBo, 14:14:47 07/02/04 Fri
      • Sorry, that should be, "keep ME updated..." (NT) -- LynnBo, 14:17:13 07/02/04 Fri
        • Personally I agree with you but I think what he said is that surgery would be too risky if they went in and had to find the stones because they are so small. I think they're holding out for them to pass, and if they don't pass or get bigger, I'm going to have to live with them until they do.... :( (NT) -- JF1, 11:58:52 07/07/04 Wed

Yes it was pretty good as far as the end of school went.........but I'm going to put all of this inside because there is no way it will fit. -- KatieS, 08:05:00 06/11/04 Fri
    • Sorry to hear about the kidney stones. My mom passed a VERY SMALL stone years ago. She said the pain was worse than labor pains! I know a couple of people who have had the ultrasound surgery and they had no problems with it. They had immediate relief from the pain! I hope all goes well for you. Keep me posted on your progress. (NT) -- LynnBo - thinking "Yikes - tough schedule next year!", but I KNOW you're up to the challenge., 21:31:42 06/11/04 Fri
      • Hey do you know if you have to stay overnight in the hospital for the ultrasound surgery? Just curious. (NT) -- Katie, 22:33:20 06/11/04 Fri
        • They had the procedure a few years ago and I don't remember if they had to stay overnight. If I see them any time soon, I'll ask them about their experiences. In the meantime, would you like to search the net to get more information? (NT) -- LynnBo, 14:54:01 06/12/04 Sat
          • I looked it up on WebMD and they said it's usually an outpatient procedure (which scares me because what if I got home and something happened? But anyways) and I don't see why they didn't just do that on me in the first place because it'd be ALOT less painful than the whole labor pain thing. If I don't pass them by July 1 I'll def. have to have something done. (NT) -- KatieS, 15:14:54 06/13/04 Sun
            • Katie, any procedure that requires anesthesia and the introduction of surgical instruments into the body can cause complications, though they are minimal. If your body can correct the situation on its own, though painfully, doctors prefer that for their patients. This procedure, as I read online, seems to be minimally invasive and I don't believe any major complications will arise once you get home! In fact, statistics show that most patients recover more quickly at home than at a hospital. Go inside for a tale about my nephew. -- LynnBo, 12:19:29 06/14/04 Mon
              • Hey, thanks for reassuring me! It helps, believe me. Fifteen days until I have this doctors appt. I feel for your nephew, but I'm glad everything turned out okay. I can't believe they made him wait ten days for the surgery! I would be mad... anyways I'm glad he's doing ok. (NT) -- katie, 22:57:51 06/14/04 Mon

  Prove that a quick way tp square a whole number ending in frive is to place 25 after the product of the number formed by the digits preceding the five and the next integer. For example, 65 X 65 (65 squared)= 4225 (6 X 7 [the next integer]=42, then tack on 25) and 125 x 125 (125 squared) = 15,625 (12 X 13 [the next integer]=156, then tack on 25)

  I noticed at another board your comments in Spanish- Are you ready for some practice??? Here goes:
  
  Comó va ta clase de español? Te lo gusta? Espero que sí porque para mí, español es fantástico y interesante. Es útil también porque cuando viajas, puedues entender todas la personas que encuentras y puedes haces amigos en otros países. Yo trabajo a una tienda y la semana pasada una mujer vine a mi tienda y ella no habla inglés. Pero, yo hablo español! Entonces, le ayudé y ella era tan surprendida y me pidó gracia.
  
  Bueno, hace 2 semanas después que hablo español (porque estoy de vacacciones de la universidad) y no puedo escribir tan bueno como antes.. que lástima! Feliz Navidad, Katie y todas las otras personas aquí, y prospero Año.
  
  Hasta luego, Heather (Isa)

  cant figure what answerr is on 11(5)x1331(5)x1331(1) suppose to put it to a single number to single exponent in simplist form?
  

  
  [ Post a Reply to this Message ][Edit]
  
  Replies:

  • kevin, 1331 equals 11^3 so each 1331 can be rewritten and the original problem becomes: 11^5 x (11^3)^5 x (11^3)^1. You now use the rules of exponents to get: 11^5 x 11^15 x 11^1 and then finally 11^21. Anytime you have an expression to rewrite as a single number to a single exponent and one of the original numbers is a prime number (such as 11 in this one) all the other numbers can be divided by that prime. Keep dividing until you have nothing but the prime as factors. Remember factor trees from elementary school? This is a similar process. (NT) -- LynnBo, 23:14:59 12/13/03 Sat

• Linear programming and word problems... -- KatieS, 16:30:40 11/23/03 Sun (pleiades-25.cmh.jadeinc.net/209.57.24.225)
  I have several problems in my algebra homework that - I understand the process, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting enough information to solve. I can solve them when they are set up, but I need some help getting the information out of the word problems…
  
  Here they are:
  
  1. In a zoo, there is a natural habitat containing several feeding areas. One of these areas serves as a feeding area for two species, I and II, and it is supplied each day with 120 pounds of food A, 110 pounds of food B, and 57 pounds of food C. Each individual of species I requires 5 lb of A, 5 lb of B, and 2 lb of C, and each individual of species II requires 6 lb of A, 4 lb of B, and 3 lb of C. Find the maximum number of these species that can be supported.
  
  Okay so I have to get equations out of that to solve in linear systems by graphing… but then I have to get the test point out of there and I don't know what that would be??
  
  2. A candidate wishes to use a combination of radio and television advertisements in his campaign. Research has shown that each one minute spot on television reaches .09 million people and each one minutes spot on the radio reaches .006 million people. The candidate feels he must reach at least 2.16 million people, and he must buy a total of at least eighty minutes of advertisements. How many minutes of each medium should be used to minimize costs if television costs $500/minute and radio costs $100/minute?
  x+y (> or =) 80
  .09x+.006y (> or =) 2.16
  
  But then what would the other equation be to find the minimum? Is it 500x+100y= something?
  
  3. A bank has two types of branches. A satellite branch employs three people, requires $100,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of $10,000. A full service branch employs six people, requires $140,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of $18,000. The bank has up to $2.98 million avaliable to open new branches, and has decided to limit the new branches to a maximum of twentyfive. If the bank further decides to hire at most 120 new employees, how many branches of each type should the bank open in order to maximize the average daily revenues?
  
  Here, I can't even figure out how to define my variables. Should they be number of branches, people, money? I need help with that and then figuring out which pieces of information go where in each problem - I should be able to figure this out but without defining my variables I can't!
  
  Thank you for any help you can give - if I can't understand it from here I'll get help tomorrow from the teacher.
  ~Katie

  • What in the name is Linear Programming? (NT) -- Mama Cass, 00:23:01 11/27/03 Thu
    • Cass, look at the problems Katie listed. Each problem can be represented by 2 or more linear inequalities that must be graphed on the same coordinate plane. They will intersect to form a geometric figure in the 1st quadrant. The coordinates of the points that form the corners (vertices) of the figure are then substituted into a function to determine which points cause the function to have a minimum or maximum value. The coordinates also represent how many of each item specific to the situation should be produced, planted, etc. to create the min. or max. Many real world problems are solved with Linear Algebra.

  • I don't really understand the question... "strings of eight letters"? What does that mean?? (NT) -- KatieS, 19:21:32 11/04/02 Mon
    • I think it means 8-letter words. Maybe it was worded this way to say that it does not have to be a meaningful word, just the combination of 8 ordered letters. (NT) -- Rosie, 09:17:01 11/07/02 Thu
  • I am assuming you do not care if the word it no really a meaningful English word. Please check inside for some explanation. -- Rosie, 08:49:32 11/07/02 Thu
    • Rosie, I cannot bless you enough. Every single time I post something at Maeve's about this place, you are here. THANK YOU!!!! (NT) -- KatieS, 22:14:28 11/07/02 Thu
  • I'm not understanding the question! -- Errika, 00:18:08 10/25/03 Sat

• I need some Math help....Please? -- Mama Cass who is so glad Katie thought up this place. It's so handy..., 18:47:00 10/15/03 Wed (alkali-d44.phonewave.net/64.113.161.44)
  Hi, guys. I got a 75% on my first Math test, so that is awesome!!!!! But now I need some help...
  It is Ratios and Portportions, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to solve a porportion with fractions in it...any suggestions? The one in the book makes about as much sense as Alphabet soup.

  • This is the problem I am working with....Thanks again -- mama Cass, 18:52:18 10/15/03 Wed
    • Sorry, I can't help you, Cass!! Man, am I glad that I'm a French and Poli Sci major- I can't stand math!!!! Good luck! (NT) -- Heather K- and congrats on your test!, 20:40:55 10/15/03 Wed
    • Cass, is it supposed to be 12=x over 3/4 = 11/4? The way it showed up it looks like 12x and I wasn't sure. If it's 12 = x look inside I THINK I can help. -- KatieS, 21:57:24 10/16/03 Thu
      • I think you helped a lot, but actually it is 12 over 3 times x over 4, I just couldn't figure out how to type it! LOL! Thanks again! (NT) -- Cass, 20:43:07 10/17/03 Fri
    • Excuse me, I mean x over 1 1/4 ..... (NT) -- Mama Cass, 20:44:20 10/17/03 Fri
    • Cass, I am a math teacher who helps Katie at this site from time to time. By the looks of her answer below, I need to do some more tutoring. LOL Katie, sweetie, you don't need common denominators to multilpy fractions! Both of you look inside. -- LynnBo, 20:57:20 10/17/03 Fri
      • DRATS! My "nurse maid" duties kept interrupting my attempt to reply to your message and by the time I posted, there were new messages all over the place. I'm not sure now what your original problem was, but look at my reply anyway and perhaps it will be of help. (NT) -- LynnBo, 21:13:09 10/17/03 Fri
      • OMG! I hope your fam is ok...thanks for the help, though! I really apperciate it. (NT) -- Mama Cass, 19:37:24 10/18/03 Sat
        • Thanks for your concern. He will be fine, but he does have to have 3 maxillofacial surgery plates put into his jawbones and chinbone. This is becoming an annual event with him - last November he was in a car wreck and broke a lot of the bones around he eyes, nose and sinus cavities. I asked him what he had in store for next fall - a boating accident? My sister says she is just waiting for him to heal so she can kill him! LOL (NT) -- LynnBo, 18:04:38 10/20/03 Mon
          • Er...make that HIS eyes, nose and sinus cavities. I'm tired, so the fact that I only had one typo is GOOD! (NT) -- LynnBo, 18:10:01 10/20/03 Mon
      • OOPS I knew that! ROTFLOL, wow. I was regressing to fifth grade math.... LOL. (NT) -- JF1, 20:24:48 10/19/03 Sun
        • Many Algebra textbooks don't incorporate fractions into their problems and as a result many students, even very bright ones like you, tend to forget how to work with them. I try to assign problems with fractions in them as often as possible. I even joke with my classes about making sure they get to work with their favorite (NOT) numbers - FRACTIONS! They are not very amused. (NT) -- LynnBo, 18:15:27 10/20/03 Mon
