95 what?

My calculus teacher made us write our answers in complete sentences. I regret not putting bees in his car.

State your units.

fucking Christ I hated word problems when I was going to school. This post brought back a lot of bad memories from when I was going to school

It's one square banana Michael, what could it measure? 10 dollar bills?

[captainblagbird@lemmy.world]

380 quarters

[youngalfred@lemm.ee]

Does the banana for scale have a source for its measurement? I can see 1 banana is 17.8cm.
Presumably that's an average?

[wolflink@sh.itjust.works]

You laugh but if you ever take a college physics class you’ll appreciate having the idea of being overly careful of your units drilled into you.

[localhorst86@feddit.org]

The average bee has a volume of 0.15 cm³.
A 2025 Toyota Corolla has an interior space of 2.05 m³.

How many bees would fit into the Toyota corolla? Please show your calculation and answer in full sentences.

Considering this kid didn’t learn which side of the number the dollar sign goes on, maybe they shouldn’t be making fun and should pay more attention.

[stormdelay@sh.itjust.works]

You're of course correct in English, I just wanted to share that the currency sign goes after the value in many other languages, so it's an easy mistake for ESL people to make.

What are we describing when saying a square banana?

In good faith I understand this as: the square of it's length.

But I prefer to interpret it as, a banana squashed until it is 1atom thin and shaped in a square (which to my imagination, is an enormous square)

Don't seem English speaking countries put their dollar sign after? I thought at least one of CAD or AUD did

[hikingvet@lemmy.ca]

Cad not in the English parts of the country. Not Aud

[hikingvet@lemmy.ca]

Fuck it. Pudding.

[dabaldeagul@feddit.nl]

The Toyota Corolla can fit 13,500,000 bees.

[boreengreen@lemm.ee]

Be the change you wanna make.

[funky_beak@lemmy.sdf.org]

We most certainly don't in Australia

[iliketraaaains@lemmy.world]

The calculations are missing, 0 points.

Only my best friends call me "Pudding". Welcome to my circle of friends. ️

This many times over.

I can't count how many times unit awareness has saved me when troubleshooting equations.

Think of what your result is measured in and what you actually receive and you'll never miss that square again.
