From Deniece:
I have 2 lots that are joined together. One lot is 38' X 105' and the other is 45' X 105'. What is the total in acre size. Or, how close are these lots to make one full acre? I want to sell both lots and want to advertise using the total lot size. Thank you.

The area of two lots 2015-10-13
From Lynn:
I have 2 lots that have mobile homes on them... I was told they were 100 x 200 lots.. I have tried to calculate it on here but was not able to understand how to exactly do it. I would like to know if I have a 1/2 acreage or exactly what the 2 lots are?

Four identical lots 2009-03-30
From Marina:
I really want to know the answer to this problem for my 6th grade son. I've already sent this question with the drawing but I couldn't send it correctly. I hope this one will pass through. Q: Divide evenly and identical the figure representing a lot, into four for the 4 siblings. I've sent a figure drawing as attachment. I will describe this in case it will not reach you: its a square divide into 4 triangle and 1 triangle is taken out living a letter M figure and this letter M figure is the one that will be divided.into 4 even and identical parts.

Graphing two lines 2005-11-20
From A student:
About y = 5x + 24 and y = -3x - 8
1. Graph both equations on the same set of axes. When you made your graph, how did you choose the range of x and y values?


2.Find the point of intersection for the graphs.


3. Test the point of intersection you found by substituting its coordinates into the equations. Do the coordinates fit the equations exactly?

Box and Whisker plots 2001-11-19
From Rod:
In our Prealgebra course, we have been studying Box and Whisker plots. Recently, we learned how to decide whether a data point is an outlier or not. The book (Math Thematics, McDougall Littell) gave a process by which we find the interquartile range, then multiply by 1.5. We add this number to the upper quartile, and any points above this are considered to be outliers. We also subtract the number from the lower quartile for the same effect.

My question: where does this 1.5 originate? Is this the standard for locating outliers, or can we choose any number (that seems reasonable, like 2 or 1.8 for example) to multiply with the Interquartile range? If it is a standard, were outliers simply defined via this process, or did statisticians use empirical evidence to suggest that 1.5 is somehow optimal for deciding whether data points are valid or not?

Finding a formula 2000-05-05
From Erica Hildebrandt:
If a farmer has a field and his plots are laid out in the following grid where each # represents a plot:
4 5 12 13 20
3 6 11 14 19
2 7 10 15 18
1 8 9 16 17

Of course the plot numbers aren't meaningful as I have described above. In fact they may not be numbers at all. The only constants I have are the total number of rows and columns. Using the total number of rows and columns and my current position row and column, how can I write a formula that tells me column 3 row 3 = 10, column 4 row 2 = 14, etc. I can see the pattern but can't quite get the formula. I believe I will need 2 different formulas one for even and one for odd rows.
