    Long division where the quotient is larger than the dividend

    Hobbies? I don't mean to be rude, but the last thing I was thinking about when I was a preteen was my future plans of studying engineering and including mathematics in my hobbies. Anyways, I did a quick review of the concepts and I understand how to answer the question; and wouldn't you...

    Long division where the quotient is larger than the dividend

    I have learned long division however, the same day I learned it was also the last time I've ever used it. The problem is that I learned long division when I was in elementary school; little did I know that nearly 20 years later I would be studying engineering calculus. Long division is not a...

    Long division where the quotient is larger than the dividend

    Things have changed old man. You are hardly a PF contributor! Its pretty pathetic when a "homework helper" insults the very person who is asking for help. Please do me a favor and never respond to any of my posts!

    Long division where the quotient is larger than the dividend

    The question is "without a calculator, long divide 425/836. Round to the nearest hundredth. Estimate your answer before starting." My attemp at a solution: Well, my estimate would be approximately one half, since 400 divided by 800 would be 0.5; however, I'm not sure how to long divide a...

    Using indicators to determine acids, bases, and salts

    Hey, I just got out of my lab at school and just realized that me and my professor made a mistake. He marked my lab complete, and I also thought it was complete, however, I just realized that there was something missing. The problem is that I can't go back into the lab to try it out again...

    Establishing an Electrostatic Series: My Confusion

    I understand what you're saying, and I should state, that in my lab, it is given that polymers rubbed in wool will acquire a negative charge; thus my reference material. However, what I'm confused about is the fact that I rubbed plastic wrap in wool, and because plastic wrap is more...

    Establishing an Electrostatic Series: My Confusion

    I'm doing an electrostatics lab and I'm getting a bit confused. The object of the lab is to establish an electrostatic series. First, I must choose a reference material, like plastic wrap. Then I charge this reference material by rubbing it in wool. Now, just by looking at any other...

    What are some household items capable of gaining an electric charge?

    Hey. I'm just doing a lab an electrostatics and my coursebook suggests a number of materials to use, however, I'm not really getting clear reactions with them. The purpose of the lab is to create an electrostatic series. I first have to establish a reference material; I chose cellophane or...

    Astronaut's Kinetic Energy inside shuttle at liftoff

    Sorry I don't actually mean at the second the suttle lifts off, but what about during lift off, as its displacement is increasing. Or, what about when the shuttle passes through Earth's atmosphere?
