Re: How old are you bobbym?

Okay, you just cross out the numbers on the top that are the same as the ones on the bottom leaving a one each time you cross one out.

Now for each one I crossed out I put a one.

Follow?

Re: How old are you bobbym?

Now 1*1 = 1, so 1*1*1 = 1

Also one times any number is itself so 1* 5 = 5.

And we are done!

Re: How old are you bobbym?

We do it the same way:

8 is really 2 * 4, that 4 can broken down into 2*2 so 8 = 2 * 2 * 2

Do you follow what I did?

Re: How old are you bobbym?

Happy Birthday!

32 can be broken down into 2 * 16  like this

32 = 2 * 16

And 16 can be broken down into 2 * 8

16 = 2 * 8

8 as we know from the above post is 2 * 2 * 2 so

32 is really 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 that is a lot of 2's. Check this one:

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 32

Re: How old are you bobbym?

Hmmm. Infinity is not a number but it does seem like it has two 3's in it.

Hi Sarah;

That is okay. I think glasses look good. Makes people look smarter and more distinguished.

Re: How old are you bobbym?

As far as I know basic fractions is the basic operations of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing of fractions. It is also understanding pie charts and reducing fractions which we were doing.
