Like, for example, say Place A has the co-ordinate 150 degrees E and Place B has the co-ordinate 155 degrees E. In mathematical terms, Place A is GMT + 10 and Place B is GMT + 10.3. Therefore, there is a difference in their times.Cerry said:What are the time zones that are being ignored then? It threw me, because local time kind of implies that you're taking time zones into account, but I can't work out what it meant otherwise.
Ignore time zones as in the flight took 9 hours regardless of which time zone it left etc.. You had to convert the time.Cerry said:Yes. I just freaked out because I'd ignored the time zones, and no one else on here seemed to have done so, so I got my copy of the paper. Anyone who added a 5 hour time difference is in fact wrong - it's 7am, not 12pm.
Also, did anyone else find it impossible to prove 28bi? I tried everything I could think of, and couldn't get it to work out, and there are at least 3 other people in my class who had the same problem.
Theres a little formula i like to call present value formula!hanna91 said:did anyone get the answer right to question 27 b(i) no one in my class could prove it was $2178.67?
smartass!zimmy808 said:ok i got 92%
Looking at these questions, i did better than what i first thought. YES!PC said:Hi guys. I've really ripped through the paper so there might be a few errors. Let me know. I'll try and put my worked solutions up tonight or tomorrow.
Anyway ... it's all over now. Forget about it move on to your next exam!

I knew i got the Sphepical Geometry right as well.Kiim2507 said:I think I got 28 (b) i right but ii wrong
I said it decreases by half =\
the 3.9mL/min is using the whole drink (375mL) as a beginning measurement. The measurement you've used is the alcohol/min measurement.bassist206 said:oh also,
23 c) ii) it cant be 3.9mL/min because then if you times that by 60 its like 234mL an hour... not 20.625mL.. i believe the answer is like 0.2148...
let me know if im doing something wrong though, once i get an answer into my head its hard to see other ones, thanks
You use the annuties formula.hanna91 said:did anyone get the answer right to question 27 b(i) no one in my class could prove it was $2178.67?
