980 cubic yards of dirt 2016-12-17
From Jondi:
I am trying to visualize 980 cubic yards of dirt by using a metaphor.
Would this be the size of a car?
A fire engine?
A semi-trailer?
How many trucks would you need to haul away 980 yards of dirt?

Two percent 2009-12-20
From Brian:
Hello I am having a problem figuring out something. Someone told me that .98 is the same as 2% how is this possible, how did they figure this out here is my example 929.79 x .98 = 911.19, is the same as 929.79 x 2% = 18.59, now minus the 18.59 and you will end up with 911.19, how did they convert 2% to .98, please help thgis is driving me nuts as I am not very good at math. Thank you

Warmest Regards
Brian
