Happy Birthday Cdamsel .

Kentnickole:
Given: 8a = 9b and a/9 to b/9
thus a = 9b/8; so substitute 9b/8 into a/9, you hv [9b/8]/(9) = 9b/8 x 1/9 = b/8...

Also, b = 8a/9; so substitute 8a/9 into b/9,
You hv [8a/9]/8 = 8a/9 x 1/8 = a/9...

Place back in the ratio line, you hv:

a/9 to b/8.

Wrong.

Cross-check the bolded. It should give you 8a/81 and not a/9

Solve these questions from CHEVRON PLC past aptitude test questions: pls gv details of ur solution to the most acceptable answer.

1. A shopkeeper is giving 6kg of rice at the price of $5 per kg. What should be the markup on the cost price if he wants to make a profit of 20%?

OPTIONS: A. 25% B. 50% C. 44% D. 20%

Without solving I know the answer is 20% (D). But since you want details, here it is:

Cost Price of Rice = $5 × 6 = $30
Therefore Cost Price = CP = $30
Let the Selling Price be designated as SP
Therefore to make a profit of 20%, we have:
(SP - CP)/CP × 100 = 20
(SP - 30)/30 = 0.2
SP - 30 = 6
SP = $36
Therefore Mark-Up = SP- CP = $36 - $30 = $6
Thus % Mark-Up = 6/30 × 100 = 20% (D)

2. If 8a = 9b, and ab = 0. what is the ratio of a/9 to b/9?

OPTIONS: A. 64/81 B. 8/9 C. 1 D. 9/8 E. 81/64

8a = 9b
Divide both sides by 72
8a/72 = 9b/72
a/9 = b/8 .......eqn(1)

Thus to find the ratio of a/9 to b/9 = (a/9) ÷ (b/9).......eqn(2)
Let's replace a/9 with b/8 (substituting eqn 1 into eqn2)
Thus the ratio changes from (a/9) ÷ (b/9) into (b/8.) ÷ (b/9)
This gives 9/8 (D)

Let's not allow the equation ab = 0 confuse us.
This because, it's not possible for only a or b to be equal to zero (as it would contradict the given equation 8a = 9b). Thus BOTH a and b MUST be equal to zero and using it to solve anything would result in 0/0 which could be anything thus is indeterminate.

In conclusion, my answers are

1. D
2. D

your attention are needed!

Which attention again? Read MaziOmenuko and the OP's discussion and see their final resolution.

Hi guys please I need an info for a friend. Does NOUN offer Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) Programme for Mathematics? How about MSc Mathematics and PhD Mathematics?

I'll be grateful if I get a response.

Regards.

Congrats OP. Which thread was that?

Congrats.

Is she a nairalander?

Who should I marry?

Seen and noted.

My sis has finally dropped her pen! No more night class or TDBs. I bless God for his favors towards her. I'm looking forward to her Oath Taking Ceremony as a Pharmacist. Lord I'm eternally grateful for everything.

xynerise: Finally! Obinoscopy found love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg00YEETFzg

Ishilove: So Mynd44, I am supposed to woo you. Well, I see others declaring undying love... BULLSHIT!!

How can I say I love you when we hardly know each other?? Is that how love starts? Anyway, two strangers first become acquainted with each other, then friendship grows, then comes love. So Mynd44 darling, I am not in love with you

As Micheal Bolton sang, "how can we be lovers when we can be friends?"

I remember the first time we I saw your picture on facebook, I was like "so this skinny , though handsome nigga is the one roaring like a lion on NL? ". However, as time moved on, I started feeling ancient stirrings in some deep, unnamed part of me. You confessed feeling the same way but I was sceptical. I mean, how can you, Mynd44 handle Ishilove? Seriously, how?

But overtime, you have showed me what a rich, warm personality you have beneath your dour exterior. You are full of mysteries, mysteries that I, Ishi, axe and pickle in hand intend to dig through in order to fathom what makes you tick. You intrigue me, Mynd44...and to be sincere, I send you die...



Mynd, will you be my special friend? I am not promising you heaven and earth. What I promise is much deeper and profound than those..if you're willing to give it a try...

**Knocks on Seun's door**

Mynd is so in trouble

NgeneUkwenu: How old are you this boy? Do you think by suppressing the truth and stifling it, while at the same time, moving all the lies by Chris olakode to front page would make us win this war?

You people are very naive and acts like kids! Mtcheeeeeew!

Call me a kid. Call me whatever you like. The fact remain that I'll never be used as a weapon by the boko haram monsters. I'll never play to the gallery of their propaganda and media terrorism again. I was used in the past, I will not be used again.

farano: My sweet tangerine obinoscopy , I'm so shy but this is for you

Obim, I have a thing for you. Yes and this is the appropriate time to say it. I made a very descriptive list about how I wanted my "ideal man" to look, behave and treat me. I described him as tall, lean built body, normal skin colour, beautiful smile, sweet, romantic and loyal...and so many more things.

I wrote a very loooooonng list, I believed it.

Then boom!!! I met you! Just like I had written in my list, better than I ever expected! I still can't get over it. Very identical to how I described "him". I'm so ecstatic and thankful.

Obim, my heart desire , You're the man of my dreams. The man i've been searching for. You're too good to be true! Only you can sweeten my heart. Everything about you dey make my head dey swell. What did you give to me huh obim?

I'm going gaga crazy! My heart is going jigi jigi like the sound from a railway station Hop on my boat of love, let's sail away! Me and you forever!

***gives him a single red rose, holds his hand in a romantic way, stares deeply into his beautiful eyes***

I promise to treat you like a Prince, to love and obey you. You deserve someone to make you happy, to laugh with, to be there for you. You deserve someone that can be trusted, someone to keep you safe. Someone that can be your lover and best friend. Someone to be serious but also silly with. Someone to cherish your heart. Someone to make delicious and healthy meals for you. Someone to always give you a shoulder massage even when you're least expecting it. Someone to bear you the most adorable children and raise them to fear and honor God.


Honey, I can do ALL those things if you can let me I also promise to love ur flaws because they make you who you are.

Darling, You're so decent, so understanding and so cheerful. I'll always feel you and i'll always adore you.

Here I am Obim, expressing my love for you. I want to shout it out loud...





I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Okay ladies and gentlemen, I think I've found my voice. Elantrßcy backed out, I gueßs.

Farano dear, when I saw ur lines, I was like, is this really happening? Could this be true. Is it the lady who I so cherish that wrote this beautiful lines? The lady who I spend most of nl time viewing her profile/profile posts. The lady who I send PMs to often. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was speechless.

Farano love, I was already yours before you wrote those lines. My fear before now was whether you were mine too. These romantic lines of yours have erased my fears.

I promise to love you. I will worship the ground you step on. I will build my empire around you. Everything I have both now and in the future are yours and yours alone.

Come with me my love. Hold my arms, let's take the walk to the moon filled with honey .

I'm still speechless..........baby, what have you done to me? What's this feeling I'm having all over me?

Where's Tracey?

farano: *peeps*

I see you

Hmmmm, this is serious. Can any other nler in Benin confirm this?

abu12: Oga are u trying to equate boko haram insurgent to a game(a football match)? My brother nobody is happy with what is happen, it is better for govt at all level to find a lasting solution to this madness. The govt shld endeavour to kill all corruption in our military circle, if we choose to play boko issue down like a game, we might be caught unaware in the game and that will be the end of nigeria.
Wake-up and call the appropriate authority to stop boko, except if u are in support of nigeria disintegration.

Did you read our conversation properly (btw myself and dogonyaro1) from the beginning? Of course I'm against corruption and boko haram. However, I'm against the negative mindset some guys here have immediately boko haram releases their media propaganda (I can it the media terrorism). They seem to believe boko haram more than the govt. That's very wrong. Such act could demoralise our soldiers. Our criticisms should be constructive and not destructive.
