Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
@ St. Sndfab unltd or whatever ur name is. I'm provoked to my spirit for holding me hostage in order to read painfully through ur self trumpet-blowing triumph in aptitude tests in the past 2 year.
Tanx very much for also letting us know that you earn more than 100K monthly. You ignorantly sound as if you were the greastest genius ever step on the surface of the earth who is infallible! NO SIR!!! It can't be you or me.
Just to prove my case that even the most brilliant can fail, take a look at your post once more, you get to discover that you Wrote the word Crowd thrice in which case all spellings were consistently wrong! Two of your crowd spelled CROUD were written in upper case, this ruled out the excuse of typographical error.
For your info yours sincerely has always been a little above average, took NNPC test in Kano in 2006, Shade widely almost 80% of the questions yet scored a staggering 130 marks out 160! Due to this I was informed, to tell you further my crendentials erase very possiblity of cheating yet I ended up not getting the job at the end of the day.
Success depends on the answer given by the wisest man ever lived on earth. (Mr.) King Solomon in one of his book called Proverbs.(see Prov.9:11)
Alot of people including Nigerian shameless politicians calls our graduates all sorts of dehumanising names, well they foget that knowledge spread over generation is relative. This I mean what is expected be
known in the time past is not what is expected to be known now.
No Nigerian student sit for any aptitute test in 1970, or know how to operate a computer then, not to talk of driving the modern day automobile, operating complex electronics gadgets, follows the trends of the day and so on.
This day employer of labour expect even an Histotian graduate to be computer expert! He also expect a Mathmatician to know the date of birth of the 5th american President, and if He fails the whole WORLD gets to know that a Nigerian Graduates are fluke.
A Nigerian can become father of internet, can smuggle explosives without been detected by airport body scanner,design gear box for Mercedise Benz, design world class car for Audi, break a record of the longest Teenage lone first name it.
Who say we no too much?
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :'(
9p=12days.......
Hence 1person=12*9=108
1person will do the job in 108 days
1p=108days
i) :)4*1p= 106/4....... 4p= 27days
Hence 4 people for 27days
ii) :)1p=108days
But 108/36 =3
Therefore 36*1p = 108/36....... 36p=3days
Thus, 36 people for 3days..................GOODLUCK :-* :-* :-*
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
this maths is very interesting, but its better to understand before believing wat u feel is real. pls, acason, i thought it was supposed to be cross multiplication. wat is ur own called? in the normal cross multiplication it shld be
1person=108days
.'. 4persons=108*4/1
i know am wrong but i want u to explain how that mathematics happened.
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
The solutions are:
(i) 9 *12=108, 108/4=27 days
(ii)108/3=36 persons
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
if 9 persons finished one work in 12 days
(1) 4 persons will be x days
solution
let x reprent day
9=12
4=x
cross multiply
9x = 4*12
9x = 48
divide both sides by 9 since focus is on x
9x/9 = 48/9
x =16/3
x=5.33
4 persons will do the same job in 5days 3hours
(1) x persons finished the same job 3days
solution
let x present person
9=12
x=3
cross multiply
12x =9*3
12x = 27
divide both sides by 12
12x/12 = 27/12
x=9/4
x=2.25
x=2 persons approximately
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
@timothy24january..., u don goof!
U need to apply d inverse variation principle not direct variation.
U can even solve the problem offhand without writing anything down on a paper owing to the limited time u hav to deal with it if u hav your punch. Whenever u see such problems like number of people to finish something, weda na work o!, drug o! Just name it. Just know that the more the number of people, the less the work, drug or anything these people hav to attack.
In that case,
people = constant/work
=> people*work = constant
just establish the constant and fix it on any part of the question your life go just de sweet u.
Pls no do this same thing when the rate of work is varying among the people involved. If they are not working at the same rate, just sum up the work each of them will do in a unit time (time could be in sec, min, hr, day, etc).
E.g if mr. P can finish a particular work in 9days, it means he can do only 1/9 of the work in a day. If mr. Q can finish THE SAME work in 3days, it means he can do 1/3 of the work in a day. So if both of them are working together, it means in a day both can do 1/9 + 1/3 of the work. Which is 4/9. The reciprocal of 4/9 gives the number of days both of them will work to finish that job i.e 9/4.
Some question can be tricky, if the work is increased by 150% how much of it would they have done in 3days?
I leave that for u to solve.
1 love house!
Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
9persons finished job 12days
i:e 9*12=108
QS (1) says
how many day will 4 person finished the same job.
Ans; 4+x=108
then, we have x=108/4
x=27days
QS(2)
how many persons will take to finished the same work in 3days
Ans; 9*4=36
i:e we have 36person

Re: Hw much do u knw maths?
if 9 persons=12days,
1person=12/9days
4persons=4*12/9=5*3/9 which is 5days 8hrs.
for 3days
if 1 person=12/9days
3days=3*9/12=2.5which is approximately 3 persons
