12:34 goodnight,and i assume youll be eating breakfast at 10am tommorrow or if youre like my little brother at 12pm.(he sleeps the whole day).

 

[Amogh]

Usually i do..around 11 am. Got Festival tommorow..gotta get up at like 5 am =O

 

[Amogh]

FTW i give up
i know the answer is friday..though i used a calender
how do you do that question?

 

[silence--]

if you could figure out approximately how many days there were till that time then divide by 7 or something, and just count the rest.

lol idk.

if that came in a sc test i would guess.

 

[FTW]

LMAO i fail
it was meant to be smallest unit.


interesting question
How do you do this apart from looking at a calender =P or using the Zeller rule?

FTW i give up
i know the answer is friday..though i used a calender
how do you do that question?

(Assuming i finish ths post on 17th october)
Idk I just made it up seeing is anyone could do it. Although i assume you could work out how many days left, divide by 7 and then whatever the remainder is, add on that many days, to what day it is today. So its 365x3 + 366x1 + (14+30+31+31+27) = 1594/7 = 227 r 5. So saturday +5 days is thursday, which is the answer. (where did you get friday from? I also checked a calneder after i worked this out and the one i checked said thursday)

Whats the Zeller rule?

Edit: THIS WAS NOT IN THE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

(A) 1.5x60x10=900c = $9 per 10min call
B. 10x2x50= $10 per 10min call
C. 50+2x10x40= $8.50 per 10 min call
D. 300+5x2x57= $8.70 per 10 min call.

Answer = C. A fifty cent connection fee plus 40c per 30 seconds...

Sorry if that's wrong. I woke up too early ...

[Riot09]

Question:
What was most significant about the Whitlam government establishing diplomatic relations with China?

the most significant aspect in the Whitlam government establishing diplomatic relations with china was that there was increased trade between the the 2 nations,economically and in 2002 china sighned a $25 biillion oil and gas agreement with australian firms operating off north-west australia which again highlighted the significant economic advantages this relationship had.

$460x5x12=$27600

If the question said how much more this would cost her, you would do 27600-25000=2600

 

[Riot09]

ftw,how come you didnt post a question?

mary buys shoes at a sale.she gets a discount of 20%.the saving on the original price was $10.what was the origninal price? pleas include working out.

 

[Hayzazz]

Mary got a discount of 20%
She saved $10.
Therefore, 20% = $10

$10 x 5 = $50

The original price is $50


Explain why metals can conduct electricity.

 

[Schoey93]

Metals can conduct electricity because they are solid and thus do not resist the flow of electrons through a circuit.

Next question: Identify the reproductive organs of asexual plants.

whats "inverse"?,iv'e never seen that before.

 

[Amogh]

Stamen and anther??? And pollen??

Stamen is the 'male' organ(i think). Anther is a part of stamen. The female organ is Pistil (i think), which is made up of Style, Stigma and Ovary.

What is the inverse of 4^-2 + 3^2

Upload it on tiny pic.com, then click on "Insert Image" and then paste the direct url of the uploaded pic.

 

[Riot09]

all of the above.

would the answer be 9+0.0625=9.0625

just talking a stab at it, really the "negative exponent" and the "inverse term" have got me lost in the question.
