Harder than it looks
If you divide thirty by a half and add ten , what would the answer be? . . . BTW, it's going to be a busy weekend, so I don't think I'll have any other questions this weekend.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
if "by a half" you mean .5 then it would end up being 70
ReplyDeleteYup..
ReplyDeleteThe answer is 70
70
ReplyDeleteSeventy. When dividing by fractions, you must multiply by the reciprocal. Or if you went to a calculator. (30 / .5) = 60 + 10 = 70
ReplyDeleteBut you already knew that!
