[maths!]

Hey, can you anyone help me!!!! here's the question:

This formula tells you how tall a boy is likely to be when he grows up.

Add the mother's and father's heights.
Divide by2
Add 7 cm to the result.

The boy is likely to be this height,plus or minus 10cm.

Marcs' mother is 168cm tall.
His father is 194cm tall.

what is the greatest height marc is likely to be when he grows up?

Re: HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee plzzzzzzzzz

How about we change the order?

Marcs' mother is 168cm tall.
His father is 194cm tall.

Add the mother's and father's heights.
Divide by2
Add 7 cm to the result.

what is the greatest height marc is likely to be when he grows up?

The boy is likely to be this height,plus or minus 10cm.

P.S: Could you please inform me as to how "HELPPPPPPP" and "plzzzzzzzzz" are pronounced. The first seems like a real killer for the lips and the latter may attract flying insects.

 

[maths!]

you didn't answer my question

 

[Unco]

You didn't read my post carefully enough.

 

[maths!]

you just asked me about how to pronounce the words and they are pronounced as please

 

[Unco]

Reread the way in which I reordered your post.

 

[maths!]

i still don't understand, do i just add 10 to the answer or what?

 

[Unco]

Add 10 (what?) to what answer?

 

[maths!]

ok now i'm confused, can you just go through it with me because i don't understand ?

 

[Unco]

I would like you to follow these instructions

Marcs' mother is 168cm tall.
His father is 194cm tall.

Add the mother's and father's heights.
Divide by2
Add 7 cm to the result.

first.

 

[maths!]

ok i got 188cm

 

[Unco]

Excellent work. Now, we are told

The boy is likely to be this height,plus or minus 10cm.

and are asked

what is the greatest height marc is likely to be when he grows up?

I think you know how to proceed (from what you mentioned in a previous post).

 

[maths!]

so i just add 10cm to 188cm?

 

[Unco]

Is that a question? Tell me.

 

[maths!]

lol yeh it is

 

[Unco]

Well done. <- I misinterpreted your post to mean "yeah that's what the answer is".

 

[maths!]

so is the answer 198cm?

 

[Unco]

Are you asking if 188+10=198?

Edit: Yes. Good job.

 

[maths!]

no i was asking am i doing it right, just in case you were saying 188-10 instead of adding it

 

[Unco]

Yeah, I misinterpreted your earlier post. You are absolutely correct. Subtracting 10 would give the boy's minimum possible height.
