Education / Simple But Tactical Mathematics: I Bet You Will Fail It. by prothelley(f): 10:02am On Jun 27, 2016 |
I bet 95% of mathematicians will fail the 'simple' maths. Try and see. A lot of people are having trouble with this math problem that requires some basic algebra [Bethany Biron] June 25, 2016 A lot of people are having trouble with this math problem that requires some basic algebra A lot of people are having trouble with this math problem that requires some basic algebra A lot of people are having trouble with this math problem that requires some basic algebra Nothing like a viral mind boggling math problem to make you feel like you should have paid better attention in high school algebra. The equation in question? 9 – 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1 = ? The deceptively simply math problem recently blew up in Japan, as people quickly found they were routinely getting the wrong answer. According to PopSugar, only 60 percent of 20-somethings solve it correctly, a study showed. So what is the remaining 40 percent doing right? YouTube user MindYourDecisions shows you, bringing in mathematician Presh Talwalkar, the man behind the problem, to explain how it’s done. The trick is to remember PEMDAS, the order of operations formula, which stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. As Talwalkar explains, this means first tackling 3 ÷ 1/3. Three divided by 1/3 is nine, and then carrying along with the equation from left to right you end up with the correct answer of — drum role, please: 1! Unfortunately, it’s been a while for many of us (or it hasn’t but we just didn’t pay that much attention in algebra) and most people who get it wrong actually fall down on entering the fraction into a calculator. Other people who get it wrong forget about PEMDAS, and simply do the equation from left to right. Common incorrect answers end up being 3, 7, or 9. Of course, it’s just a silly math problem — or is it? According to the video, the 60% rate of correct answers is down from 90% in the 1980s. What could this big drop in accuracy suggest? Is it possible that our dependence on easy internet research and calculators means we’re committing fewer algebra principles, like PEMDAS, to memory? It’s a fascinating question, and we’re going to go look up the quadratic equation real quick, just in case. https://www.yahoo.com/news/lot-people-having-trouble-math-161950574.html |

franciskaine: I think the miss up there is "call up number". Call up number is different from Certificate number. though the site said "as seen in your certificate". They shouldn't have said "call up number". |

Business / Total (Nig) Skill Acquisition Programme (Computer Training) - Akwa Ibom State by prothelley(f): 10:55am On May 04, 2016 |
By the Grace of God, my Computer Training School has been chosen as one of the Training Centre for Trainees, as part of Total Nigeria's Skill Acquisition Program in Akwa Ibom State. This is the first time am being offered such opportunity. Been my first time, I have little or no idea about what to expect from Total Nigeria as we just got pass the first stage of accreditation. Please, if there is anyone here who has offered such Training Services for Total Nigeria, I will be grateful to get your contributions as it will enable me prepare for their "second coming". Though, I have been assured of getting their final approval, am just curious on what their package will be; - Payments for each Trainees - Monthly payment to Trainees - Any start-up bundle for the Trainees? Mod, please help a curious mind out! 1 Like |

And if he doesn't accent to the bill, there is a stipulated period he his given to accent to it, if that time elapses, the senate has FULL backing of the law to approve the bill. Senate still have upper hand in this. 3 Likes |
