No offense, but are you in 4th grade?

[quotea85be501ba="bballp6699"]No offense, but are you in 4th grade?[/quotea85be501ba]

I was about to ask the same thing. That's some pretty basic math there.

[quotea38ee29fd6="bballp6699"]No offense, but are you in 4th grade?[/quotea38ee29fd6]
i agree. not to sound mean, but seriously, what math class is this for? btw, i think TFOAF caught most that are wrong. at a cursory glance, they look mostly corect.

No offense but can you read rules

"DON’T make useless posts in other peoples threads"

[quote3612e61093="ClassAct"]No offense but can you read rules

dude, they just wanna know what math class you are in. They are helping out and just wanna know. I had that stuff in like third and fourth grade, so I can see why they are curious. Is this some warmup activity or something?

Our posts aren't useless. We are concerned about you.

shock

oops

Well, I got three for him...so far.

He said he's bad at math. Some people aren't good at decimals and percents.

How did they help out? TFOAF is the one helping out, and its a business and finance class which im not really spending much time on cause the b law classes take up all my school work time

I'll http//www.pestiside.hu/archives/zip-it-herbie.jpg[" alt=""/imga6183ce53a] before I get slapped with the ruler.

I take b-law classes too. ) If you are honestly having trouble with that you need to stay after school or talk to your teacher/professor. These are really basic finance problems. Try googling percent and decimal tutorials.

I looked over them at a glance and they look for the most part correct but i'm not not paying to much attention. But if you have a question about a particular problem let me know and i'll help you out, otherwise its saturday...

I would also like to know what class this is? Pre algebra?

Ive been doin fine in my b law classes feel like watchin all them CSI and AE shows helped me out there, thing with my math teacher is hes a joke, i took it as an online course cause i already got 5 classes in class and wanted online cause its online, a week into the class he posts we all have to meet him, I emailed him and told him i have a class at that time, basically told me its not his problem and to be there, well clearly went to my regular class, now everytime I email him with a question for example mailed him cause the publishers web site wasnt working like he said it should so I was told to call the publisher. Lot of help right there

you need to study man!

There, ClassAct. Read my post. (The one where I had the answers.)

I glanced over geej86's answers.

One of them I saw is wrong, I only looked at one.

For number 12, it's C, not D.

Results Reporter
Out of 15 questions, you answered 11 correctly, for a final grade of 73%.

11 correct (73%)
4 incorrect (27%)
0 unanswered (0%)

ClassAct, if you waited, my answers were all correct. I had changed it, but I guess you went ahead and did it. ?

Try my answers. )

Thanks TF just put it in, I mistyped in the answer on the last one so was cause im retarded there, tryed to give u more karma but cant too soon it said, gave u some as gee but used tf's answer sheet, as well thanks for understanding some people are better at some things then others as I struggle greatly at math, One one of the internet projects for that class I just did got em all correct cause its one of them types of deals where you see a video of the actual question for example the shipping and receiveing of cargo from boats like how fast effenint then can ship bla bla, once again thanks

No problem. I love math.

Thanks again TFO and if anyone wants flame me go for it as I wont be checking this post, and you people act all high and might and wanna make fun of someone at there weaknees, if your so great y not realize common knowlage some people are good at one thing while others struggle, you say you learned this math in 3rd grade, well I learned people may be good at one thing and terrible at another when I was in pre school, so speaks alot about your character

hey man, wasn't trying to flame you. Just wanted to help you. Make sure you learn this stuff because these are the basic building blocks for what you need those classes for. Just some advice.

I think you ought to change your title from "Need Math Help" to "Do My Math Homework." By all means I am not flaming, I am just pointing out less people will be curious as to why you need help with such ez pre-algebra questions. I think FiPG is more of a place where you go to for real quick help for concepts you don't understand, instead of a place for people to do your homework.

Also try out hotmath.com they have good tutorials step by Step

Yeah, especially on a true/false... multiple choice....I think anyone who's helped is just as guilty because we've done homework for someone somewhere down the line instead of simply offering help.

And also remember, when you got "flamed" it's because in general, people on this board act civilly. When someone comes up asking for pre algebra math questions, we don't realize immediately that people on here are of all ages. It's a bit of a shock, but yeah...no one flamed in this thread.

Why is this even being posted on this forum? Doesn't your school offer tutors and such?
