if you could figure out approximately how many days there were till that time then divide by 7 or something, and just count the rest.

lol idk.

if that came in a sc test i would guess.

LMAO i fail
it was meant to be smallest unit.


interesting question
How do you do this apart from looking at a calender =P or using the Zeller rule?

(Assuming i finish ths post on 17th october)
Idk I just made it up seeing is anyone could do it. Although i assume you could work out how many days left, divide by 7 and then whatever the remainder is, add on that many days, to what day it is today. So its 365x3 + 366x1 + (14+30+31+31+27) = 1594/7 = 227 r 5. So saturday +5 days is thursday, which is the answer. (where did you get friday from? I also checked a calneder after i worked this out and the one i checked said thursday)

Whats the Zeller rule?

Edit: THIS WAS NOT IN THE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

(A) 1.5x60x10=900c = $9 per 10min call
B. 10x2x50= $10 per 10min call
C. 50+2x10x40= $8.50 per 10 min call
D. 300+5x2x57= $8.70 per 10 min call.

Answer = C. A fifty cent connection fee plus 40c per 30 seconds...

Sorry if that's wrong. I woke up too early ...

the most significant aspect in the Whitlam government establishing diplomatic relations with china was that there was increased trade between the the 2 nations,economically and in 2002 china sighned a $25 biillion oil and gas agreement with australian firms operating off north-west australia which again highlighted the significant economic advantages this relationship had.

$460x5x12=$27600

If the question said how much more this would cost her, you would do 27600-25000=2600

She saved $10.
Therefore, 20% = $10

$10 x 5 = $50

The original price is $50

Metals can conduct electricity because they are solid and thus do not resist the flow of electrons through a circuit.

Next question: Identify the reproductive organs of asexual plants.

Stamen is the 'male' organ(i think). Anther is a part of stamen. The female organ is Pistil (i think), which is made up of Style, Stigma and Ovary.

What is the inverse of 4^-2 + 3^2
What do you mean by inverse?
Additive or multiplicative?
or maybe im just lost..:D

all of the above.

would the answer be 9+0.0625=9.0625

just talking a stab at it, really the "negative exponent" and the "inverse term" have got me lost in the question.
