Int 2 maths question?Hey everyone! Good luck with all your exams! I just finished a Non-Calc paper and got full marks except from one little question I have no idea how to do!
Evalulate - 16 3/4
I thought it would be 12 since 16 divided by 4 x 3 = 12 ... but the answer is 8?
Thanks! -

What's the question? 3/4 of 16 is 12 but what you have posted isn't really a question it's more a statement.
Evaluate 16 3/4
^^^^^^^^^^
But I am confused as I would think it to be 12 but the answer is 8!
Thanks! -

Re: Int 2 maths question?That doesn't sound like a complete question, the answer to that question would be 16 3/4. Are you sure there isn't anything more to it?(Original post by itsc0ntagious)

Re: Int 2 maths question?Sure .. sorry the webcam on my laptop reverses things but if you can't make it out, it is Evaluate 16 3/4 and the answer (Q9) is 8(Original post by TheUnbeliever)
Any chance you could post a photo or scan of the question? There must be something we're missing. I can't see any way to get 8 from that.

Can you please explain why! thank you!![a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m} = \sqrt[n]{a}^m](http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/latexrender/pictures/b7/b7a865eb47067c1ff81041659782e486.png "a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m} = \sqrt[n]{a}^m")
Put the power inside or outside the square root, whichever is easier for evaluation. -

Int 2 is easy. Done it last year while doing standard grade and got an A. You'll be fine.
2_/18 simplify to 6_/2 ???
