And, the way math is being taught now, children are seeing this kind of problems in 5th and 6th grade math.
It takes five machines five minutes to produce five widgets.
How long does it take 100 machines to produce 100 widgets?
I used to hear it all the time ," I can do Math problems but I cant do word problems".
My standard answer ? Life is a word problem ! If you have a problem in your life that requires math, then no one will
appear and set up simple little solutions for you to crunch numbers on. You must set up the math.
OK , not really. Tax preparers will do your taxes. Food Banks will give you food if your can't manage to budget food for
your kids. Banks are happy to slam you with fees if you are a dummy with your accounts. Pawn Shops, Title Loans, Refi's
Auto Repo's - theyre all happy to get you out of a jam.
There's a whole slew of people that love those who are bad with Math.
Fortunes are made off the number challenged. God bless America.
Yes!
(And, I kept that last riddle 'coin related' what with the widgets and all.)
Could it be 5 minutes?
<< <i>I have two U.S. coins with a total face value of 55 cents. One of them is neither a nickel nor a half dime. What is it? >>
Isn't that supposed to be: one of them is not a nickel? And the answer is the other is a nickel?
LOL. I'm confused. I was going to tell the OP
bat + ball = 1.10
bat = 1.00 + ball
--------------------------
subtract.
ball = .10 - ball
2 * ball = .10
ball = .05
P'ching!

Don't they cost about 8 cents to make now?

let the cost of the ball equal x
100 + x + x = 110
2x = 10
therefore x = 5
<< <i>What are 2014-D nickels worth? >>
$100.70, the same as 2014 P nickels or 2014 S nickels.

<< <i>What are 2014-D nickels worth? >>
$100.70, the same as 2014 P nickels or 2014 S nickels.
Then it should be written as 2014 D nickels and not 2014-D nickels.
