@Stat,
It's the refrigaerator which ought to fit in the giraffe....Wapi Katwa Kigen?...In other news,wazee wanakubaliwa kuanguka mtihani flat..ie 0/4Sad Laughing out loudly


Yeah, and guka you are right, one must have an analytical head......si mambo ya kusema open the door, put the girrafe in and close the door...how now, you can fail a job interview for being such an ABK.....you must 1st ask for the parameters of the girraffe and the fridge!!!!


Which is why we fail. Because of the american largese, their refrigerators are bigger than real, but their giraffes are zoo dwarfs

If it's wrong whichever way, how can someone get it as the right answer?

Those items are expensive wapi Ephraim Maina, the man whose constituency never run out of jiggers and a case study for NGOs and the world? He should come up with another price control bill for balls and bats.smile

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Simple simultaneous equations


Let bt be equal to bat
and bl be qual to ball
bt + bl = 1.10
bl + 1 = bt
hence

bl + bt =1.10
bl - bt =-1

bl = 1.10 -bt

Replacing bl in the second equation

1.10 - bt - bt = -1

-bt-bt = -1-1.10

hence

2bt = 2.10

bt = 2.10/2

bt =1.05

while we know
bl + bt =1.10

hence

bl + 1.05 = 1.10

bl = 0.05


Was bored after work and with no money for TGIF that is why i did all that!!
lakini hii hesabu was for which class??

Ok ya ball and bat tushaamua, like someone said if you do it mentally, it seems like a simple problem, but if you actually calculate you get it. Now the question about machines, can someone show calculation of why they arrived at 5 min, I think Statmeister came up with 5 min, coz I came up with a different answer.
At Drunkard, keep them coming, mental acrobatics are fun.

Aii Toxicity your math is too complicated , keep it simple.

Bat +Ball = 1.10
X + X+1 = 1.10
2X+1 = 1.10
2X = 1.10- 1
2X = 0.10
X =0.05
