If Tommy delivered newspapers for 7 years to 23 houses and dropped 7.4 newspapers before he reached 3.2 blocks how long will it take Tommy to deliver all papers to the 23 houses?

This must be a math question on your homework. Www.purplemath. Com helped me out with my math, but I am a college student Forget the math and READ the question thoroughly.It would take 7 years to deliver all of the newspapers This is not a math question.

It is a COMPREHENSION question. That means do you understand what you have read, heard, seen etcetera? Reading comprehension is the most frequently used form of this type of question Trick questions or comprehension questions almost always involve complicated formulas and needless statements to obscure simple and easy answers The question is not how long will it take Tommy to deliver all of the papers to 23 houses in one day The actual question is "...how long would it take Tommy to deliver ALL of the papers to the 23 houses The answer of "7 years" is provided in the 2nd through the 10th words of the question: "...Tommy delivered newspapers for 7 YEARS to 23 houses Example: How much dirt is in a 6 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet hole?

Without COMPREHENDING the question, one would multiply the numbers to determine the number of cubic feet and answer that there are 126 cubic feet of dirt in a hole with the given dimensions The actual answer is that there is NO dirt in a hole regardless of the dimensions Example: The famous "As I was going to St Ives" riddle As I was going to St IvesI met a man with seven wives And every wife had seven sacks And every sack had seven cats And every cat had seven kits Kits, cats, sacks, wives How many were going to St Ives? The simple and easy answer is one."AS I WAS GOING TO ST.Ives....". The riddle does not say that the man with seven wives, the seven sacks, the seven cats and the seven kits were going to St. Ives.

It only says that the person going to St. Ives met them Example: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck...?" rhetorical question There actually are web sites devoted to answering this question. There is no definite answer to the question Example: My personal favorite, the immortal scene at the Bridge of Death in the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail",where an incorrect answer results in being cast into a volcanic chasm, is rather lengthy Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper.

I am not afraid Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?

Sir Lancelot: Blue Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much Sir Robin: That's easy Bridgekeeper: Stop.

Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid Bridgekeeper: What... is your name? Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?

Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria? Pause Sir Robin: I don't know that. He is thrown over the edge into the volcano Sir Robin: Auuuuuuuugh Bridgekeeper: Stop.

What... is your name? Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Galahad: I seek the Grail Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?

Galahad: Blue.No, yel...he is also thrown over the edge Galahad: auuuuuuuugh Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh.Stop.What... is your name? King Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow? Bridgekeeper: Huh?I... I don't know that.

He is thrown over Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows? King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know Sirs Robin & Galahad and the Bridgekeeper would have lived if they had only COMPREHENDED the questions that they were asked before answering them incorrectly I hope that this answers your question to your satisfaction Elthron.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
