"Alice worked 40 hours at regular pay and 5 and 2/3 hours at 11/2 pay. How many hours will Alice be paid for in total?"

It seems like an incredibly obvious addition problem (40+ 5 and 2/3 or 17/3, which would equal 45 and 2/3rds), but the answer I keep getting isn't one of the choices for answers you can choose from.

The options they give you are:

47 and 2/3rds, 40 and 1/2, 48 and 1/2, or 40 and 2/3rds.

What am I missing here?

Assuming you mean 1.5 and not 5.5 the answer is 48.5.

This is because you have to times 17/3 by 1.5 to get it too regular pay. But, yeah the problem is worded very badly.

"Multiply" is a verb. "Times" is a preposition.

My favorite version of this mistake:
"You have to on the meth in the spoon before you on the lighter."
Correction: "You have to put the meth in the spoon before you activate the lighter."

Pfft. Im a engineer. I don car bout no stupid english

So your a Forever Alone Guy?

Now make that an anagram 😉

This place is so much nicer without Park trolling the shit out of everyone.

Bantha got you tail Valerian?

When you say it, it's actually hilarious.

Lol, I'll admit the first time he said it I found it kinda funny... But then he repeated it again and again.

Exactly. I lol'd the first couple of times, but then... I was like,

So, anybody know how long that ban is gonna last?

And I am taking bets as to how long it will take before he makes a sock. Any takers?

He already has a sock. Darth Storm or something like that, can't remember.

It's a 7 day ban.

So, a 7 day ban means that he shall return.....

I apologize for this:

When he left us, he was but the troller, now he will be the trolled.

Absolutely terrible joke there. But I haven't seen any posts that seem like his, so in my mind it does not exist. But my entire last half of the post is irrelevant now..... *hiss*

I am particularly proud of how long I lasted on the "favorite people" list; I stayed on for like a week after I blocked him!

(Remember when we wrote in r3A|lY 4Nn0Y|Ng fonts?

I was in the 'least favorite people' list, then I was moved to the 'favorite people' list, and then I was moved again to the 'people who are alright' list. I was on every list of the almighty great debator Park, so I win.

I never made it to least favorite...... I was on the favorite at all times.....

Not sure if should be proud
