And for the question with R and E, I’m not sure which one was which, but to the nearest hundreth is more precise, reducing possible error. Thus (max error for hundreths<max error for tenths)
Guys what did u guys get for last 2 of the challege questions
I got D and B
Wait for #14, why would it be 90? Can someone explain this?
it was proportion
1:6=x:540
solve for x u get 90
Was 14 the one about the statues?
But if we’re doing proportions, we have to factor in V=lwh. We can simply say that the first statue is a 6 by 6 by 6 cube. Then the smaller statue, according to proportions, will be 1 by 1 by 1. Therefore, we will have to divide 540 by (6*6) = 15 pints of paint. I think you guys only factored in the proportion of one side (l or w) and forgot the other side, (either l or w).
@DankMeme2019 #14 was about the 749 sheep. I’m pretty sure it was D, 7 percent. How about you guys?
The problem didn’t say anything about it being a 6 by 6 by 6 cube. It just said a 6 foot statue, so you cant assume that you have to divide by 6*6. We just used the 6 feet and divided 540/6 to get 90.
@scietywi yeah i got 7% as well
Yes I got D and the above problem isn’t about the volume, that’s already counted. You just need to count the number of statues not their surface area or anything.
But a statue is 3d not 2d right?
Yeah but you cant assume that it is 6 feet long, 6 feet tall and a cube
Was the bug one 4/5, 2/5?
Yes at the end it was a geometric series.
I honestly don’t think I made it to SHP due to my bad challenge math score. What are my chances? My scores:
Easy Math: 47/50
Science: 67-68/75
Challenge: 6-8/15
We can both agree that the statues are 3d. For simplicity, we are designating the statue to be a rectangular prism.
First Statue Dimensions: Height=6ft, Length=l, Width= w
Then by proportions, the Second Statue’s Dimensions are: Height=1ft, Length= (1/6)l, and Width= (1/6)w
So, (1/6)(1/6)= (1/36)
Now, if we multiply this by 540, we get 15 pints of paint.
To clarify everything, we can compare this to a human being to a lego minifigure. To be proportional, we have to factor in the the two dimensions instead of just one.
@Cwizkid , Your science is awesome! From the thread, I think the science is counted the most.So poor me…
For me,
Easy Math: 48~50
Science: 58~65
Challenge: 12~14
What are my chances?
Easy Math: 46-49
Science: 50-55
Challenge: 14-15
Im a Freshman
@DankMeme2019 No #14 was the one with the sheeps and percentages
