One ounce of solution X contains only ingredients a and b in a ratio of 2:3. One ounce of solution Y contains only ingredients a and b in a ratio of 1:2. If solution Z is created by mixing solutions X and Y in a ratio of 3:11, then 2520 ounces of solution Z contains how many ounces of a?
“Okay, then, let’s start at the beginning…”
But what does it mean??
“Damned if I know, honey, but it’s due tomorrow so I guess we’d better get to figuring it out.”

“And then she said there were umpteen reasons Mike wouldn’t go out with you but that’s all she’d say.”
Umpteen? What’s that mean?
“Beats me, but it sounds like a lot.”

“Tus padres saben que te escabulliste.”
What does that mean?
“It means you’re screwed, man.”

“I mean, it’s not like I meant to like Chris. I know Taylor likes him, I mean, I’m not an idiot. Do they say I like him? ‘Cause I don’t. Not really – I mean, not like like like him, not like that. You know what I mean?”
No.

Kalief’s scores on his first four History tests were 80, 85, 88 and 95. To get an A in the class, he needs to have an average of 90 or better. What score must he make on the fifth test to get an A? Let x be the required score on the fifth test. Write an equation for calculating the mean with the unknown value.
Ummm…

Linda hosts our Stream of Consciousness Saturdays. This week’s prompt is “mean(s). Use it with or without the ‘s,’ any way you’d like.”
Brilliant SoCS! Brilliant! (That first problem is still hurting my head!)

I agree! Can’t say I spent any real time trying to solve that one…

Algebra…blech. I would go with plain fries or a chocolate chip cookie instead.

Can you believe I never ate a single cheese fry until my 30s? Didn’t discover them ‘til I was grown & married. Probably a very good thing for me!

Umptee means innumerable but many.
90 = (80 + 85 + 88 + 95 + X) / 5 or 450 = 80 + 85 + 88 + 95 + X or 450 = 348 + X or X = 450 – 348 or X = 102, so Kalief is probably not going to get an A.

Oh, my head. But I was following the chaotic calorie path as best I could. Mike is toast, unless there are bonus points on that exam – he needs 2. Cheese fries, mmmm – great example of the good for you vs. good tasting equation at work.
