I'm glad I don't live in LA.

[Nica]

okay is it just me are all these names in Spanish...lol..not that I mind but I've never seen such a thing...oh by the way I love math but these types of questions are the ones that always gave me a migraine lol...hahaha.

Now some of these questions depend on wind resistance and if the big baggy pants are falling down hahahahaha...like this one

10. Marvin steals Juan's skate board. As Marvin skates away at 15 mph, Juan loads his .357 Magnum. If it takes Juan 20 seconds to load his piece, how far away will Marvin be when he gets whacked?

Answer, it depends if Marvin was smart enough to wear his running shoes and to run on the sidewalk rather then grass...due to friction created between sidewalk and baggy pants he could get "whacked" quick!

hahahaha good one...Mrs. Lauren...teacher lol...hahaha nice good babe.

[ltoman]

hey, these names are multi-cultural. marvin, rob, martin, chris, erin, bobby ,jeff., jerry....
we see what we want to see. pedro, ramon, and antonio. sorry - the white bad boys out number the other race bad boys. and one girl.
and my friend, whose kids go to my school sent this around. she is half hispanic. so nah nah nah nah nah!

i love the part about the pants! true. let's assume he runs holding them up, like at school.

NO RACISM INTENDED HERE _ I WILL PULL IT IF IT OFFENDS; DESIGNED TO SHOW LA's ISSUES with all kids

1. 2 (30/13)

2. around $400??

3. 10 (800/85)

4. 16 (16oz in a pound)

5. 1 (200+300+300 = 800, plus one more Vette = $950)

6. $2,800 (100x12 = 1,200, 1,200x6 = 7200, 10,000-7200)

7. 52.8 sq. ft. (if I think you're asking what you mean)

8. 20% (4/20)

9. 28 weeks (700/25)

10. 3,960 feet (5,280x15 = 79,200, 79,200/20 = 3,960)



How'd I do?
