I just helped Dustin with his math homework. EG: Simplify this ratio 15 cats to 50 dogs. Answer: 3 cats to 10 dogs or 1 cat to 3.333_ dogs Dustins answer: 3 continous EG: The temperature went up 7 degrees between 1990 and 1997. The temperature went up 6 degrees between 1997 and 2000. During which period did the temperature climb the fastest? Answer: 1997 to 2000 Dustins answer: 7...between 1990 and 1997. EG: A line goes from x,y coordinates (1,1) to (4,2) on a cartesian graph. Find the slop. The formula is Slope=m where m=(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) Answer: 1/3 Dustins answer: 9 Matter of fact, out of 60 questions, he only got 1 right by accident. He said it didn't matter. He'll still get a C. First off, I'm wondering HOW?
