<p>Yeah that question seemed unfair to me, but it was halfway around 5500 so I rounded up to 5700. I feel like I chose 1/3 for one of the free responses. Does anyone remember the question so I can justify?</p>
<p>It was definitely 1/8, 256, 20, 16, 4, 420, 4, 1080, 1/3, 61</p>
<p>Which problem yielded the answer 16?</p>
<p>What is this knitting question everyone keeps asking about? Was it experimental?</p>
<p>Is anyone sure between 4/9 or 9/4?</p>
<p>yes…</p>
<p>I don’t recall the problems that yielded 20 and 16. Anyone care to help me remember?</p>
<p>9 to 4…</p>
<p>@wisdom: it must’ve been, I didn’t come across it. That ratio question really annoyed me. Can someone break it down for those like me who are imbeciles for w^2 to x^2, using numbers I substituted in for y (2), I came up with 36:144 which didn’t simplify to any of the options</p>
<p>i ended up plugging in numbers. i did y=8 and since 2y=x, x=16. .33333w=y so w=24. the ratio of w to x was 3:2 so w sq to x sq was 9:4.</p>
<p>Basically it said that 2y=x and 3y=w
You square both sides for each equation yielding
4y^2=x^2 and 9y^2=w^2
Thus the ratio w^2:x^2 is 9:4</p>
<p>and the answer is ?</p>
<p>Are we sure that we interpreted the problem correctly. I look at a few times. I just find it unlikely that they would choose a problem that can so easily go either way.</p>
<p>The consensus is 9:4</p>
<p>wow I was so stupid. I could’ve just squared the x= and w= eq’s I had and compared them. ugh. I have no logic when it comes to math.</p>
<p>I don’t think 2y=x and 3y=w was what was given, because I really recall it to be 4/9.</p>
<p>AGREED - Are we sure that we interpreted the problem correctly. I look at a few times. I just find it unlikely that they would choose a problem that can so easily go either way.</p>
<p>It was y is half of x and w is three times y or something like that. That’s what was given.
It asked for the ratio of w^2 to x^2, maybe you misread it as x^2 to w^2.</p>
<p>What is -1? 770,780,790,800? What do you guys think you got?</p>
<p>-1 is usually 770 or 780. I’m expecting an 800…unless I made a stupid mistake somewhere</p>
<p>is -1 ever 800? What do you guys think the curve will be?</p>
