We are talking order of operations aren't we? I've seen some variations, but not this one.Quote:

theres another good error in his logical model but I already mentioned it as gearing being eliminated but by logical expansion
using his speed =distance/time formula and eliminting the gearing via the logic of the only factor is the Revs done
if the time and the speed give the same distance for engine A as it does for engine B then the engine has done the same number of revolutions soooooo
using that fact that the gearing hasnt changed the proposal of the only factor being the total revolutions done to cover the distance should reveal that IF engine A + engine b do the same number of revolutions that they use the same amount of fuel....
I'll edit my tagline to include something about spelling.
yeah Bimdas is the order of operationsQuote:

what did you get for O?
No thanks, I do my own mechanicing:pQuote:

Like i stated the boundarys of the question will change to suit, then comes the disclaimer:mad:

for awwabit...
I didnt think they could...
2+3^2 = 11 if you use a bimdas calculator (bomdas)
2+3^2= 25 If you dont
and for rovercare..
I reckon I know what hes trying to sort out.. by the standards of some of the phrasing of some questions I get asked by General hands, civvies and some people who really should know better Travelers questions is positively shakespherian.
As I said, depends on the base. You can multiply or divide numbers with the the same base by adding or subtracting the indices.Quote:

or
2^3 / 2^6 = 2^-3 = 0.125
Hence doing M and D before I.

This has all become a bit much. I'm outta here. Good luck with the maths.
Sheesh no offence but this thread cracked me up:D
