Help, I feel so stupid! Any Teachers?Math Geeks?

hehehe,when i"m supposed to help the child make forbid a shameful think,we must concentrate in older...

you can usually look up your school boards math problems on the internet. We have and it really helps a lot when it comes to math (i am so not a math person!) see if you can do that or talk to her teacher tomorrow!

Okay, first of all, they tried to fool you and your student by putting in unnecessary facts. That fact is that Cameron delivered to forty houses. Mike was right on, I think, with his calculations, but I will do it here, as I am typing. First, divide $35.00 by $.07, you find that it takes 500 lbs. of paper to earn the $. Next, multiply 500 by 16 (ounces in a pound) That is 8000 ounces. Now, divide 8000 ounces by 11 ounces and you get 727 papers with a repeating .2727272,or a remainder of three, which means that to earn the full thirty five dollars, he would have to return 728 papers that weigh 11 ounces. Now, if the next question says that every house saves every paper every day, how many days to have enough papers, you have a few more steps, but I can do them.
