Math help needed
If 10.5 points pay 5 cents, how much does 9 points pay?

Re: Math help needed
10.5 points=$.05
1 point = $.00476
9 points =$.0428
(But don't trust my math. Everyone knows that mathemeticians can't do math.)

That was fine math, LuvSheltie. I used to be a high school math teacher (in a former life).
Now our daughter teaches high school math while I take care of the grandchildren! LOL

She nows everything- and not just about math

PDE'S? Heck, I have the Partial Differential Equations somewhere for why paint sticks to walls and why ducks legs don't freeze in water during the winter - but that's not real math
(And don't ask about how ladybug and aphid populations relate and the programming involved in simulating the PDE's.
Yep, one of THOSE mathemeticians )

Ummm......I don't think you got my point..... But if you wanna talk on about what you know- whatever floats your boatLast edited by rhawk137; 10-24-2005 at 04:42 AM.
