2. deca means 10. tri means 3. 7
3. -30 - 39 = -69 or 69 BC
4. 9.. this one was harder...
,01, 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73 , 85, 97

Answer 2

1) There are 365 days in a year. Divide 10,230 by 365. Be sure to make allowances for leap years (heehee)

2) A decathalon has ten events. A triathalon has 3. You do the math.

3) This is so easy- if you can type you should be able to do this!!! 39 + 30

4) yeah- I was born in the year of the ox!! GO OX!!!!

Answer 3

1) Hmm, NOT including leap year, I would use 365days/year

So (10,280days)/(365days/year) would get you answer

2) deca = 10, tri = 3, 10-3 =7
3) |-30-39| = 69BC (think BC as negative number)
4) rounddown(97/12)+1 =9

Answer 4

1. 28 years
2. 7 events
3. 69 BC
4. 8 years

Answer 5

1. is 28 years
2. 7
3. 69 B.C.
4. 9
