183

<p>It was m+k-4.</p>

184

<p>I thought it was a personal anecdote</p>

185

<p>what was the canada one again? does anyone remember the sentence? and isnt the halle berry one in the wrong tense?</p>

186

<p>Yeah, I think it was 49 adults. You start with 99 total, remove 49 adults and you get 49 adults and 1 child. That’s 2%.</p>

187

<p>no , it was the television adaptation of ____, starring Halle Berry, attracted</p>

<p>It’s an appositive, you have to use starring.</p>

188

<p>So what math score would I get if I had -1 questions?</p>

189

<p>In response to the one about the hybrid car writing question, if I’m remembering correctly, the question had to do with the fact that the benefits were not explained at the dealership…I put that the verb should have been ‘were’ and not ‘was’ as was printed.</p>

190

<p>@ kestrel…
99-49 does not equal 49, it equals 50</p>

191

<p>Its 50. 99-50=49. so you had to take away 50.</p>

192

<p>wait, was it 99 adults in the room or 99 total people at first</p>

193

<p>@kestrel24
didn’t it say 99 adults and 1 child?</p>

194

<p>agreed with pinkrose.</p>

195

<p>yeah 99 adults, 1 child. take away 50 so you have 49 adults left and 1 child. 1/50= 2 percent.</p>

196

<p>def 109 digits</p>

197

<p>What did you guys get for the one where OP is the radius of a circle? what was the answer?</p>

198

<p>Oh, it was 99 adults and one child? I must have read it as 99 people, including a child.</p>

199

<p>I don’t get why the Halle Berry one is no error. Can someone explain? I thought that starring should have been “which starred”.</p>
