Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"A number is<u> [WHAT?] </u>of another number." It appears the <u>WHAT??</u> is missing. If it is a word such as "twice," it can be solved in this fashion.
Let the numbers be X and Y, with Y the larger number.
A number is <u>twice</u> another number: Y = 2X
The difference of the numbers is 18: Y - X = 18
Use the first equation (Y = 2X) in the second by replacing "Y" with (2X):
Y - X = 18
2X - X = 18
X = 18
Y = 2X, so Y = 36

Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.
Thanks for posting. This made my evening.
180-65=115
115-42=73
i think the answer is 73°
