Question from Justin, a student: the amount of money that Mika has if she has some quarters how fast Rya runs if she runs 5 mi/h slower than Danae please help, thanks, justin |
Hi Justin,
I'm going to assume that these are serious questions <grin>
In which case, the answer sought is not a number but a formula for one quantity in terms of another.
So, eg, "how tall John is if he is 30cm taller than Eric" would be represented by a formula like
J = E + 30cm
Where J is Jonn's height in centimeters and E is Eric's height in centimeters.
Good Hunting!
