<p>I vote for niceday’s answer</p>
<p>I pushed with all my might. I’m small but I pack quite a punch. It wasn’t enough to get LI over the cliff. I must say I am disappointed. I really really wanted to be the one to give him the heave-ho. Oh well, someone else will have the honors. ;)</p>
<p>I apparently think like Xiggi. I got 50 too</p>
<p>But Xiggi is the one who created the question so her answer is the correct one. But niceday makes a good point about the ‘and’ but if that’s the case, shouldn’t the answer be 50.33?</p>
<p>a third and a half of 100?
1/3 + ½(100) = .33 +50</p>
<p>Gah, I need an app for this!</p>
<p>I suppose, it could be 50.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333. But, you gotta quit somewhere.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m only 15 points away. You will probably get the assist when someone scores the goal.</p>
<p>Just added some, where are you now?</p>
<p>In term of order of operation Krlilies is correct.
xigi lost. But I am the winner because I think so.</p>
<p>This silly real life keeps getting in the way of cc fun - I had to go back 9 pages to see where I left off and I’m finding the secret to this game is to not really play it - I’ve got more green boxes now!</p>
<p>I’m keeping a list and checking it twice but I’m not able to give back to those who have been green box nice…so I’ll just keep spreading the love.</p>
<p>A brief look tells me you funny wonderful people are doing math - I’ll look closer at this later. I’m 2 posts away from my big math problem - will I lose the junior at 300?</p>
<p>ps - my hat is off to any of you who have gone through PT - yikes!</p>
<p>Hmmm… another example of why punctuation is important:</p>
<p>(1/3 + 1/2) of 100 = 1/5 of 100 = 20. New answer.</p>
<p>I still vote for niceday’s answer though.</p>
<p>Nope: wrong fraction calculation
(1/3 + 1/2) of 100 = (2/6 + 3/6) of 100 = 5/6 of 100 = 500/6 = 250/3</p>
<p>which is niceday’s answer.</p>
<p>Well, someone certainly has a sense of humor: put me over the top, left a message, but didn’t sign it.</p>
<p>Thanks, anonymous! With a strong last minute blueiguana nudge.</p>
<p>Aggg! This is why I stopped taking math after junior year of HS!</p>
<p>Griffen, I cant drop decimal points. I need all the change I need when it comes to the interest of my checking accounts. ;)</p>
<p>Looks I just gave Krlilies another square. Yeah!</p>
<p>And confetti247, too! But that was all the FedEx truck delivered for now. :(</p>
<p>Simple-I wondered where you disappeared to! Welcome back to the land of the non-productive. May you be ever showered in more greenies.</p>
<p>Lorem-you are wielding quite a lot of power there!</p>
<p>Lorem! Thanks for the promotion! I’m dancing the jig again or shall we all do the macarena, chicken, YMCA, Cha-cha slide or gangnam dance? Take your pick.</p>
<p>1/3 and 1/2 of 100?<br>
That would be 1/3 plus half of 1/3.
Half of 1/3 is 1/6.
1/3=2/6.<br>
2/6 plus 1/6=3/6.
3/6=1/2.
1/2 of 100=50.
With no regard for order of operations but with regard for how it played out in my mind.</p>
<p>Got ya’ll puzzled up and forced to think about semantics! That is the spirit.</p>
