This game is simply going to be about Mathematics. Calculations and whatnot.

Mr. A will ask a mathematical Question and Mr. B will have to solve the question. And the thread goes on.

Example.
A: 91 - 3 - 2=
B: 90
(solve for x) 2x+1=0
C: 2x+1=0
2x= -1
x= -1/2.

Do you get it?? Okay let the game begin.

A man has 40 houses and 10 cars, How many houses and cars will he have if he sells 3 of each?

37 houses and 7 cars

h.c.f and l.c.m of 24 and 48

are you trying to make us help you with your homieywork in a smart way?
this topic doesn't sound like a joke. it's more like a game.

homework..i neva get help wit maths h/w..no wesley do it!

i was joking about Hota.

i forgot what hcf and lcm means. numbers that can be divided by those two numbers right?

fine.
lcm is 2
hcf is 8
right?

i really don't remember what hcf and lcm is but i'm guessing lcm is the lowest # you can use to divide or both numbers and hcf is the highest.

wrong..
lcm = 24
hcf=`48..

am i right?

.

hcf = 8
lcm is 48..
gud

i'm thinking something's wrong with my computer.do you see a huge blank space?

***************



i don't get it. 2 is the lowest number you can use to divide both numbers and 8 is the highest.
except if i got the meaning of lcm and hcf wrong

while i try to figure out the hcf , lcm crap, try to figure this out.

the absolute value of 5-3x is less than 9. solve for x. (i can't use symbols in this post )

its 4 all ova -3

nah. it's: x is greater than -4/3 and x is less than 14/3. absolute values have 2 answers

can you please explain to me the hcf and lcm thing. please. i've forgotten all about it.

argh...sorry about that wesley..i dunno de sign of greater dan and less dan anymore

about lcm and hcf..i was taught in a different way and i doubt it if u'll understand wat i'll explain

all i remember is you had to draw all those lines and put : 2x2x2x2x2x3x3 and all that crap.

ya..but i used a VD

wth is VD?

Venn Diagram..

lets just continue wit de maths game shall we

Ohhh PEOPLE! I don't know why i put it in the joke session. It should be in the forum games section.. hope seun transfers it.

What's the fuss about LCM and HCF?

LCM means Lowest common multiple : [/b]the smallest number (not zero) that is a multiple of both.
[b]HCF means Highest Common Factor: greatest factor that divides two numbers.

For LCM of 24 and 48

24: 24, 48, 72, 96 .....
48: 48, 96, 144, 192 ....

48 is the least number that appears in both.. so it's the LCM.

For the HCF of 24 and 48

24: 2x2x3
48: 2x2x2x3

2, 2, and 3 appears in both, so you'll multiply them together to get the HCF.
2x2x3= 12.

LCM of 24 and 48 = 24
HCF of 24 and 48 = 12.

Nike you shoulda answered the question since wes got lost.


Next question, just to test if y'all have gotten this.
What's the LCM and HCF of 5 and 10?

ok.

10

cracks me up how u say u don't get help for mathematics! I guess we are all learning...
Besides nike started this


HCF of 5 and 10

5: 5x1
10: 2x5

HCF = 5.

LCM of 5 and 10.

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...
10: 10, 20, 20, 40, 50.....

LCM = 10.

Should we now divert from LCM and HCF?

Next question: solve for y. 4y-2=0

i thought u asked for only LCM..i had dat right

y= 0.5

i think i get the hcm, lcm stuff now. hcf is the higher number of the two and lcm is the lower #.
lcm of 10 and 20 is 10
hcf of 10 and 20 is 20... . . . right?
l

ur rite..beat me to it

No next question?

can i give next question?

Yes.

yay!

wats

25 to the power of 3/2..

25.

Solve for x.

23(x+2)= 0

did u just change your question or was i seeing double? it was 3/3 right?

-2
