cheesy cheesy

I don't . . . actually, and recently, I've been told that's a bad habit. I usually just write down the exact figures and calculate. I find adding all those small units like m for mass or s for time rather cumbersome. embarassed

So, share. How do you do?

Do you you include units or not?

yeah it should be added it gives the person that glance down to your answer understand what you are working toward..example if your answer is in m/s.i know you are working towards velocity

Do you mean something like this?

Q. What is the average speed of a car that travelled 20km in 10mins then another 40km in 30mins?

A. Distance = 20km + 40km = 60km, Time = 10mins + 30mins = 40mins = 40mins/60mins = .67hrs, Speed = distance/time = 60km/.67hrs = 90km/hr

If yes, then I will say that this is very tedious!


BTW, take a look at team comparison Rangers versus Enyimba; also look at Fraud Alert: DV2015 Lottery for Nigerians
