Thank God oh

Corruption must become a thing of the past.

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.

graduates asking questions like kids. Call up number without yr is no call-up number. Put the information the way it's on ur certificate.

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".

Please, do you need to verify the e-mail before continuing?

The real terrorist are IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers. The fulanis only attack farmers for grazing their cattle while the IPOB and Avengers attacks oil installations which affects the economy and electricity.

Which of the two is human life involved Mumu.....first class

Group of angry young and old women are protesting along Bori there are putting on Black and Black ,with leaves on their hands, No one knows why their protesting, i was passing by and saw them i decide to take some picture.

You should have asked the reason for their protest.....that's good journalism.

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!

God help this country. Everybody just want to have huge share of the national cake not minding if the country will collapse one day. Both GEJ and all other rulers are the root cause of the suffering and hardship currently being inflicted on the masses. Even up till this very moment Fashola and PMB want to inflict more hardship with the increase in the electricity tariff, i believe one day the monkey will go to the market and not return to his master sooner very soon. God help and bless Nigeria.!!

Sure GEJ is also the cause of the scam 2016 budget

It will be relisted soon.......story

Boko haram were defeated in that town by Chadian forces in February 2015.......and not February 2016. Guard your praises aright.....

All these religious bullshit.
Some people will show me a random picture of some dude and tell me it's Jesus.
There was no camera during the alleged existence of Jesus.

How do you know all these shiit about Jesus ??
He turned water into wine.
He died and rose again
Where you there ??
OK, give me a solid evidence.

Its not compulsory u must comment. Whether u believe or not it doesn't change the fact that JESUS is and will always be LORD.
