    MHB How Much Must John Pay the Bank if He Returns the Loan in Full in 6 Months?

    Sorry, but that problem as stated does not make sense. Can you ask someone familiar with English to help you post it properly? Thank you. Important is the rate: is it 15.99 annual effective, or .1599/12 monthly.

    MHB How to divide a circumference into equal parts, WITHOUT COMPASS?

    No idea why you'd want to do that(!), but here goes: (changing 1 meter to centimeters to make it more readable) 1 meter = 100 cm = diameter circumference = π * d = ~314.16 (π = pi = ~3.1416) 314.16 / 78 = ~4.03 Hope that helps you...
