Oh Foxy, Foxy, how totally debilitated you must be ! Try to relax. Nobody
enjoys a painful brain, and believe me, this problem is not worth it.
Let me put it to you this way: What if the problem said . . .
-- Demarcus has $8 more than his sister.
-- His sister has $4.
-- How much money ' M ' does Demarcus have ?
If your brain didn't hurt, you could quickly solve this right in there.
You would know that Demarcus' money ' M ' = 8 + 4 .
That's <em>almost </em>exactly what the problem <em>does</em> say.
Except it doesn't say he has "$8 more than his sister",
it says he has "at least" that much.
So you know that ' M ' is not exactly = 8 + 4, but that's the <u>least</u> it could be.
The actual amount of ' M ' is <u>more</u> than that.
Surely you can handle it from here, even with half of your brain
tied behind your back.
Take a good hard look at ' A ', and then go lie down.
Answer:
there is a 64% chance that the student got both problems wrong
a 32% chance that they got only 1 correct
and a 4% chance that they got both correct
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
53
reason:
substitute a with -7 and b with -37
this makes the equation (-7)3 - (-37)2, which equals 53
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
length = 6 x 1/3 = 2 inches
width = 4 x 1/3 = 4/3 inches
height = 8 x 1/3 = 8/3 inches
volume = lwh = 2 x 4/3 x 8/3 = 64/9 cubic inches
Another approach is the following:
There are 6 x 4 x 8 = 192 cubes inside the prism,
Each cube has a volume of 1/27 cubic inches.
Therefore total volume = 192 x 1/27 = 192/27 = 9
