Education & Reference - 3 December 2006

(I need help understanding this question..) 1. Three students played a game in which two of them won and one lost on each play. The person who lost had to subtract the sum of the winners’ scores from his own score. The winners doubled their scores. The three students played three times, each winning twice and losing once. At the end, each player had 40 points. How many points did each player have to start?

2. Three hundred forty five teams are beginning a single-elimination basketball tournament. One loss eliminates a team from the tournament. How many games must be played to determine a champion?

ANSWER: 345 games. If two teams play and one team loses, the winning team goes on and a champion would be determined during the final game.

3. A number is multiplied by 3. Then 8 is added to the product. The result is 50. What is the number? ANSWER: 3 times 14 equals 42. 42 plus 8 equals 50. 3 was the number used

4. The High School used 2000 gal mo

There's this project I have to do for school. It's about PCP. I need to cover the state drug laws, and I live in Ohio. But we have a list of websites that we're allowed to visit. And we can only use those. It sucks, but, hey, that's middle school for you. I googled it, Yahoo searched it, went onto all the allowed websites, and I still couldn't find it. Can anyone help me? The rough draft is due on the 4th of December, so I need an answer NOW! My parents are going to ground me for a month if I don't get them (Yes, it sounds like a pathetic excuse, but I'm for real. They're seriously going to ground me for a freaking month if I don't get the freaking rough draft done!).

Imagine that you are an explorer . You have just landed on an island and you decide that eventually you would like to bring your friends and realatives there to live.You notice however there aren't any pigs on the island,and you all have exotic tastes: you and your friends and relatives simply adore pigs' feet. (Ok use your imagination here! Pigs' feet are considered a delicay by some,although frankly, I don't see it...) You decide to leave a male and a female pig on the island,go back and get your friends,and return and three years. These pigs will produce THREE LITTERS OF BABIES EACH YEAR (ONE EVERY FOUR MONTHS). There are ALWAYS TWO MALES AND TWO FEMALES IN EACH LITTER.

1) IF ALL THE FEMALES, NO MATTER HOW YOUNG OR HOW OLD, HAVE A LITTER (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) EVERY FOUR MONTHS AND NO PIGS DIE, HOW MANY PIGS WILL BE ON YOUR ISLAND WHEN YOU RETURN? CAN YOU FIND ANY PATTERNS?
EXPLAIN YOUR STRATEGY AND REASOING PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I am a recent homeschool graduate, am in college right now, and i am writing a paper on why homeschoolers are just as prepared for college both academically and socially as compared to public school students. I have plenty of personal experience to back up my thesis, but I need more than just personal experience, so I could use some input. If you are a parent reading this, why did you decide to homeschool your child in the first place, and are you involved in any homeschool groups in your area? If you are a homeschooler, do you think that you are just as capable academically and socially as public school students, and if you are a teacher readig this, if you have any experience with homeschoolers, what have been your observations concerning their academic and social skills. Do you see any difference in level of competency or ability to learn? Any answers would be appreciated, or any suggested websites to visit would also be appriciated. Thank you!!
