He was the one who introdused the idea off making a / be a fraction symbol. After everyone accepted that as the meaning he said it was not what he meant. This leaves us in a state off knowing that he had an idea of something that was wrong with our ideas but not knowing what his idea was. So if he does not come back and tell us then we do not know what we are dealing with.

I thought we agreed that it ( the use of "/" in horizontal math) was possible, just not practical?

I was thinking that / should be treated as a devision symbol and never a fraction symbol in horisontal math unless the numbers were actualy on top of and below the line.

Anyway, he just now came in and then left.
this was prroven right, minus the trolling part.

Of corse, his whole perpose in making the thread was to troll so it is also possable that he is jsut full of shit and if he doesn't ever respond it would show that that is all he was doing and we can move on knowing that /=÷(even though they don't have values) and the original problem = 288.

It's true, it would be better to treat it as that UNLESS OTHER WISE STATED. But either way, it CAN be viewed as a fraction sign, no matter how it SHOULD be used.

Responses to each section of the picture in order.


We have agreed to that already. That is the original problem and we understand it.

You used the / as a division symbol just like we have now reached the conclusion that we should and that is why you got 1 as the answer every time. If you were using / like a fraction the second problem would be 36 divided by (18/2) but that would cause a problem where the next equation makes no sense.

You're not even disagreeing at all here. We got the same solutions by the same methods.

The whole point was that that did not exist or make any sense. Remember part two? If not, look right in this post at part two.


Actually, I am starting to think you are agreeing with us at this point.
We are all agreeing? Hell yeah! Someone close the thread before we fuck it up!

Okay, so you use the "/" symbol for division, and only as a fraction if you explicitly state it.

We agree, right?

If someone goes out of their way to tell you they used the wrong symbol, then used the right symbol, yeah.
As general rule the / means division unless it is written on a piece of paper where the numerator can be above the slash and the denominator can be below. I honestly think that even if it is written the line should be horizontal and not diagonal but either would work.

So yeah, just keep the usage of a / as a fraction out of horizontal math or be specific.

And it is 288.

There isn't a symbol for that. That's why I'm saying it would reasonable to state it. Granted you could always makes things into a decimal, if you must, I see nothing wrong it being used as a fraction line (assuming its explicitly stated of course)

Considering that the only differance between
3
4
and
3/4
is that one is a single value, you could just go
(3/4) and suddenly it is exactly the same thing.

But yes, footnotes are needed for fractions and would be accepted.

And without them the symbol will be assumed to be devision in horasontal math.

People aren't agreeing yet, Craft, don't try to rush justice. don't try to get this closed before it's over. Kaxbe is the only one other than myself that has shown some decent argument and examples. Craft hasn't gone beyond saying shit like: "This is what I think, this is right because I have a bigger penis than you!" [paraphrased] so really we can disconsider any and all he says until he does.

And just for the record, you don't, Craft Aids. You most certainly don't.

Next I will be highlighting some of the shit Craft has said since my last post, and carefully deconstructing any simple attempt or false statement he has made. Feel free to skip ahead people.

View PostCraft aids, on 01 May 2011 - 03:13 AM, said:

Well, it does not = ERROR either so we were both wrong.
Yeah, kaxbe had never agreed to the ERROR thing, so that statement is a false accusation. It is I who say this. Also, you have not yet shown any valid arguments for your answer, be it 1 or whatever.

View PostCraft aids, on 01 May 2011 - 03:13 AM, said:

this it totaly totally a mathmatical error.
The usage of a horisontal fraction symbol is bullshit and the problem that this thread is about didn't use it anyway.
So for some reason you think it obvious that we must go left-to-right, but not start above and go downwards?? Just to show how much nonesense the whole thing is. also when writting it as a fraction you would make one fraction bar longer than the other, to define which should be solved first.

Alright guys, welcome to the new Random Chat. Taeshi deleted the old one, but it's all good because now we have this one. It's even in Social Studies which makes it intelligent!

RULES

  • Say nothing of substance
  • Completely disregard the fact this is in Social Studies (it doesn't mean shit)
  • Pictures of your penis? Great! Post them here.
  • Soliciting sexual acts from minors? Count me in!
  • Eat babies.


and the most important rule of all... have fun!


You may have also noticed that this is being held in a thread with another topic. Ignore that topic. It is stupid, repetitive, and the answer is two. We also established that the "/" division operator can be practically used in horizontal math equation.
